Yes, I realize you used this headline last week, but dude, you hadn't really gone anywhere. Man today sucked hard. Stepping back into daily work and blogging after a non-stop run covering a convention is just harsh.

Mike M is off to Ireland for either a week or a month, I forget which. He hopes to blog, but I suspect the lack of public internet access and availability of lots of really good watering holes will shoot that idea in the foot. I'm desperately seeking a six-a-dayer so I don't lose my mind trying to make up for the holes.

Fahey is working on his Video Games Live feature as well as a more detailed, investigative-ish piece for next month. Joel is working on a fantastical piece for our return to the Armchair Designer. I think I'm in love with his tweaks to the idea.

GDC was, as I mentioned before, friggin insane. Like no sleep insane. I'll be doing some sort of wrap-up tomorrow.

Here's what you missed today:
Subtle aren't I
Oh GameJew, you're so fickle.
Assassin's Creed the books

Speaking of books, there's this bottle of champagne downstairs in our bar that my wife and I have been competing for over the past few months. I know that doesn't sound it has anything to do with books, but it does. The deal is whoever lands the first agent or book deal gets to pop the thing's cork and vigorously rub it in the other's face. (Figuratively speaking, I hope) You may have thought I had a step up on this competition, since you and I have been kicking around book proposals, but my wife just finished the last chapter in her fiction novel and now she's prepping to submit it to an interested agent.

GAH!

We've got to start shipping our proposals around like quick, or you're going to owe me a bottle of champagne.

Ps. I know you had nothing to do with this bet... but I have to blame someone if I lose. :)
