Didn't go this year (canceled reservations), wanted to save some money. It's a pretty big thing here, our spring break actually is scheduled around it, which sucked last year (Feb GDC). I'm only finishing my sophomore year, and not trying to intern this summer, so it's not too important to me. Glad I didn't go though, since I got homework in all but one class this week. Didn't want the break, just wanted sometime to re-work my graphics engine.

School wise, IGF is a pretty big thing for us. If anyone's keeping track, Tag just won, which has us winning the last 3 student showcase awards. Hopefully that will be me in a couple years.

Going to GDC for the career fair is nice, but I've heard mixed impressions about it's usefulness. Then again, it's the only one around for the industry. There's also a few gaming companies near me, so I have it much easier than others.

I'll likely go next year, really may depend on whether I have an internship or not. I'm crossing my fingers for Microsoft, and they're interviewing us in September, so I may know long before GDC if I'll be interning next summer.

Oh, and Call of Duty 4-2, 11/10/09.
