I often wonder, is Web 2.0  just plain evil?  Have we taken it all too far?  We are generating content at an exponential pace.   Is our destiny to replace cinema with home movies of kittens?

Yet, sometimes I feel like I’m watching the same movies and playing the same games over and over like one of those unfortunate characters in a Moebius strip.  But then brilliance shines through and I discover something really unique.  Something that makes me remember why I do this, it makes me want to work harder, to do something new, something awesome.

So as it turns out, I’m an optimist after all… who knew?  So I’m headed for GDC.  Time to recharge the batteries, time to see what my fellow developers are working on.  Time to be inspired… I hope!  Of course I’m looking forward to the parties but I’m also looking forward to sitting in on many of the game design sessions and panels.  I’ll try to give reports while I’m there, but I can’t promise they’ll be coherent.
