Top Ten Things to do in Montreal
... while at the game development conference:
10. Bring a shirt and tie in case I accidentally find myself in a fancy Italian restaurant.
9. Learn how my hotel's metro stop is pronounced in garbled PA system french.
8. Practice restraining myself from saying “Wow, I've never seen so many nerds in one place before!”
7. Get a working battery so my laptop is actually of some use.
6. Get a replacement for the useless piece of crap 802.11 card, see above. And by useless I mean.. stepped on.
5. Check to see if my theory that I'm always either the geekiest cool guy or the coolest nerd holds up with such a large sample size.
4. Learn the names of one or two video games that have come out in the last 3 years, just so I can carry on a conversation.
3. Ask the guy from BungieSoft how much his soul was worth.
2. Give the Olympic Stadium the finger before it crumbles completely.
1. Advice from labmate Nat: Try not to feel up too many strippers.
3. Ask the guy what it feels like to work on product the whole world cares about now that his company is elevated from relative obscurity, meaning a shit-ton more people play his creation.
As always, all hail Halo 2 and feel up those working ladies. - a former Halo unbeliever
