    The one he did about character development a couple of years back was an inspiration to me. Good stuff.

    Go to the official Website. Click on the program, and find Tim Schafer's name. CLICK ON IT. You will see this:

    Make what you will of this, but TBA event one whole day prior to the announced keynote, in some suspicious ROOM C, with Tim Schafer being the only speaker?

    You all know what I'm talking about. IT GOT EXPLOSIONS!

    The other funny words, in case you were wondering, are: Gamasutra, Psychonauts, Fandango aaaaaaand Sliwka.

    What about freaking "keynote." I mean, it's not a key; it's not a note.

    Good call. Adding keynote. Pluuuuus GCDC!

    An acronym rather than a word, admittedly, but goshdarnit, it's funny!

    Man, this makes it even more disappointing that I was pennies away from funding the Mojo trip to Leipzig.
