A Postmortem on GDC
Posted by Nikki H March 17, 2010

It's been a week and we've finally caught up on sleep (mostly) and tracked down the blackmail photos (hopefully?) and we're ready to let you in on The Telltale GDC Experience!

For those of us working the booth, it was a wonderful time, meeting fresh faces and recruiting for the positions we have available, which you'll be able to find right here. Hint hint. (We're the greatest.)

Some special news outlets got a sneak peek at The Devil's Playhouse demo, so if you're not writing for The Onion, Gamespot or IGN, you may want to check out their articles and live vicariously through their talented journalists.

Things were all going well until someone let Sean Vanaman do a panel. Giving his thoughts about Comedy in Games, Vanaman joined Tim Schaefer and Rhianna Pratchett to expound their vast knowledge of what makes people laugh, and what regrettably does not. There to document where Sean "hides his babies" were 1up, the Onion and Gamespot.

As if that wasn't enough, on Wednesday we hosted our very own party at the Cartoon Art Museum with gallery showings from Steve Purcell himself. Unveiling our trailer for Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse (which you can see here) we had food and debates over which of the cartoon panels on the wall best embodied our childhood. Through the wonders of modern technology, you can check out pictures of the party, which is this close to actually being there.

GDC! GDC! GDC! GDC! GDC! GDC!
GDC! GDC! GDC! GDC! GDC!

As we step into the week after GDC, our cravings for nightly parties subsiding and the incriminating photographs beginning to surface, we'll call this year's GDC SF a success.
...But before you go, let me talk to you about our wonderful Timeshare opportunities available to all Telltale employees... Wait, you're not an employee? Well, you should give that a try, then!

Whenever someone mentions "comedy game" to me, for some reason I always think of Darkened Skye. It was an advergame (for Skittles), but despite that it's surprisingly funny. Mind you, my sense of humour leans strongly towards the sarcastic end of the spectrum, so it may not be to everyone's taste.

Hurting for hired hands? =P

Unless you need a stupid college kid who's only halfway to his "International Economics and Modern Languages" degree, I don't think I need to apply. :D

It's too bad Telltale doesn't train. Otherwise I'd be all over that. And I'd be the one paying them to do it.

Oh my wow! It's like I was there, even though I wasn't! The marvelous marvels of modern science are to be marveled at. And don't worry, Telltale, I get the hint. I guess I'll let you hire me. I mean, how could I pass up a desk with a kitchen view?
