GDC Shows Haiku Winners, Geek Of The Week
Our colleagues at the Game Developers Conference have been doing some amusingly unconventional promo, starting with the recent haiku contest, and apparently, they've found a winner.
The winning entry was submitted by Jesse Schell of Carnegie Mellon / Schell Games, and is apparently:
T-Shirts and piercings
Scruffy glazed insomniacs
At last I am home!
A couple of my favorites from the 'honorable mentions', though:
Hello Golden Gate!
Despite your grandeur I miss
Original Joe’s.
Bright-shirted CA
You stopped me from getting lunch
Where is room J3?
A lot of the responses are agreeably grouchy, and still reprinted, too - which is why it's kinda fun, because the grouchiness is an important part of being a developer and turning up to GDC.
[Oh, and the GDC chaps started a Geek Of The Week post, too, headed by 1st Playable Productions' Jeb Havens, who comments of his fave games in a geekmungous style: "M.U.L.E. -- with The Incredible Machine and its descendents (Armadillo Run, etc.) at a close second." Some fun choices.]
