I’m missing the GDC. Every year before the GDC I think “yeah, too expensive” and then during GDC week I get all wistful and weepy about not being there for it. This has been occurring now for several years and is occurring yet again this year. And every year, I say this: maybe next year I’ll go back and say hey to all the gamedev.net guys and we can reminisce about how much better the conference was when it was in San Jose (or maybe not). Those halcyon days of the early ’00s!

And yeah, you can say I’m biased, but here’s truth: when it comes to GDC coverage, gamedev.net has consistently blown every other site completely out of the water. Even gamasutra. The gamedev team works their asses off, and I guess that’s my silver lining – all I have to do is sit in front of a browser and refresh obsessively. :)
