I got to enter the giant publicity stunt xbox they plopped down in downtown Vancouver 13 years ago because it was right next to work.

I hate the PSP/Wii font so much but it's objectively the right choice for this game so I'll bear it.

I spent a day fixing a critical save import bug in the Gunslinger Girl patch. It's a multi disc game and it was reporting save files from earlier discs as corrupt. The culprit? The save file icon. The disc builder was padding the 3D model by a few bytes and the game would no longer recognize it.

I got a flat top CRT that can daisy chain and I gotta say it rules. This is the cyberpunk future.

Tapping the sign again. Start your playthough on August 1st for a magical experience!

I got this anniversary xbox controller because of a price error years ago and sometimes I check the battery cover for this blithering pleasantry from then CEO Phil Spencer. And I smile a wicked smile.

This was a huge success with a full audience! Thank you to everyone who came. I have an audio recording that I may combine with the slides for a video when I have time.

I'm at the event now if anyone wants to say hi!

The Cantonese shopping network in Kowloon's Gate wasn't meant to be understood by Japanese players, so we didn't subtitle it.
