Was there for it all and it was pretty good..... or so i thought. I have it on good authority that he actually brought a live demo of natal and milo to a talk in trinity today and picked some random from the audience to try it.

Well it was interesting to say the least I was glad to hear they are going to bring this back next year too Awh, college in the morning, well last time I seen my lecturers they where in the pub, so hopefully there gonna be as late as me :rolleyes:

Great evening, great speaker, if not a little pushy on natal. I was happy to hear that it would be optional.

Only downside was the tosser sitting to his right during the panel discussion who as an admitted 'non-gamer', had no worthwhile input, wasted a cumulative ten minutes speaking, and had no clue of the significance of the people he was sitting beside.

Also crackdown 2 looks awesome

Quite the opposite, I think the other speakers were quite ignorant of the purpose of the event and didn't quite grasp the nature of the discussion, which was cinema meeting games. Remember, as much as this was a DIT games event, it was being run under the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival banner.

Molyneux is always interesting but his speech was more laden with Microsoft PR stuff then genuine quips. His devotion of Natal is a little infuriating because you know damn well he'll drop it 6 months after Natal is released and not utilised effectively by third parties (like eyetoy).

Conolly had good things to say but his jetlag hurt that. I also would have liked to see him expand on the "Crackdown 2: A northsiders perspective" title, just because it's funny

Having someone from Havok was just a way to get them on board with the group and have a few things to say. No mention of their work with film companies with their engines, unfortunately.

He was on a recent episode of 4 Guys 1UP if you'd like to hear (a little) more from him.

True, sorry if it came off a little harsh - even resituating it, the guy had very little to say, and it seemed like a wasted opportunity. Ideally, Aphra should have participated, imo. The emotionless comment hurt (as FFVII memories cut in )
