The best place to be is in the IGF booth where all the great games are on display and playable. I didn't get to play everything that I wanted to but Ryan and I took some time to check out a few. I will continue to hang out there in my spare time until I have played every game I want to play.

I have to admit as I went to check out Warrior Epic, that I thought that the game was going to suck. Surprisingly it did not. Somewhere between a Diablo II clone and Guild Wars, Warrior Epic is all about free-to-play, micro-transactions, digital currency  and a balance of all these things that keep players from being able to buy themselves a path to success.

Dinner with Developers rolls on tonight when Scott Jones and I dine with Haden Blackman from LucasArts, the project lead on last year's hit Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Last year, I did a podcast with Haden during New York Comic-Con. Our meal's two hours away so I wanted to give our readers the chance to throw in some questions. If you want to know about the future of Star Wars video games, here's your chance to get some scoop. Post a question to the comments and we'll lay it on Haden once he's good and liquored up.

Getting to from Gamesbeat yesterday sucked up a lot of my time, so let's get to the backlog, shall we?

When I was eight years, I discovered that my Uncle Jack (R.I.P.) owned a pack of playing cards that featured naked ladies on them. He called this very special pack "a conversation piece." Ah, Uncle Jack. This year, the heads of the Game Developers Conference have issued customized playing cards featuring photos of some of the most prominent players in the GDC family.

One day, GDC might not have an Anti-Censorship roundtable. One day, it might not need one.

For now, game writer and anti-censorship activist Daniel Greeberg made his annual pilgrimage to the conference to talk about what’s new in the world of people that want games to sit down and shut up.

"Duke is back," proclaimed the signs and coasters all over the DeepSilver promotional event at GDC tonight. There's even a web site, DukeIsBack.com, announcing the triumphant return of the long-neglected first-person hero.
