So where have I been and what have I been up to?

Well last Wednesday was the start of GDC (Game Developer's Conference), and for most people this means the nerd population of San Francisco increases beyond it's normal level for the course of the week. How ever this means that my company WarGaming.Net / World of Tanks, was throwing the biggest bash of the entire convention. (Which seeing that GDC is not usually the kind of convention that people throw parties for wouldn't have been a big deal.)

But it was HUGE. First of all I had the wrong address for the club. Yes the rented out an entire club. 1015 Folsom St It was unreal. I mean I was couldn't find it since I was half a block away, then I turn and we see search lights, and LED projectors lighting up the front of the building.


Yes that is a limo and the line of people waiting to get it. (Note we had the VIP Access so we didn't have to wait in any lines.)

We got in the door and every where working the club are these sexy ladies in camo underware, combat boots, and sometimes goggles of a bandolier of bullets. I was blown away, and there was like 1,000 people there. So I go around and start collecting swag, they had name tags which you could get your name engraved on (I got my WoT user name), they had glow sticks, sunglasses, and you cold even get a flip book made of you dancing. (I didn't get the flip book frown )

So there we are in a two story, 6 room club with 1,000+ people. Oh yes, and did I mention it was an open bar? It was crazy. We wound up, up stairs most of the night, just so we had room to breath. From there we had a great view.





Now there was an amazing collection of people there. And because the pictures don't tell the whole story I took a few quick videos.





Now that would have been pretty damn sweet alone. But my cool stuff from work was not done yet. Then on Saturday, World of Tanks sponsored Operation Think Tank 2012.

Which was at Military Vehicle Technology Foundation. They had a round table discussion about Tanks with some of the leading minds when it comes to tanks. It was amazing to hear some of things they were talking about. Such as the naming of Tanks like the M3 "Lee" was done by Winston Churchill because he needed to be able to tell what tank was what and the alphanumeric codes weren't enough for him. The US Press picked up on it, and before too long the US Military was using them too.

Also that once tanks has names, Model makes selling kits put names on all their tanks, including tanks that never had names. So combine that with the internet there is a lot of dis-information out there.

Oh yeah and the place they had event at has a ton of actual tanks on the site. The millionaire who owns the place, always collected tanks, and when he was rich enough he started collecting the real thing.







This conclude the last week and chaos of it all. I hope you have enjoyed it.

Also I got meet one of the lead Game Designers for the Original Never Winter Nights (the AOL Game).
