Think tank

My favorite game related event is taking place out in dreary San Francisco this week, Game Developer's Conference. I appreciate the fact that it can encompass incredibly technical presentations on 3D camera systems used in modern games, or a talk about how audio can be used to elicit an emotional response from the payer, by Akira Yamaoka, complete with a live demonstration. Bonus points for Metroid co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto's talk about story telling, where he name drops Dario Argento's Deep Red, and Luc Beson's Leon. I'm not worried about Metroid Other M's story component anymore.

Ruh-roh: Now I'm worried about the music.
