Went to the Lost Planet launch party tonight. Wasn’t really sure *why* necessarily, other than it was something to do. Figured maybe I’d make some contacts or something, but it wasn’t that sort of thing at all. I stood in line for about fifteen minutes, though, before finding some people from Backbone, and so we got into the VIP lounge, which was sort of funny. Lots of other game people, and “journalists,” but not really much in the way of talking to people. Just not that kind of event. Very much a “press” event, to show how excited the masses are for the game, and indeed, there were a lot of people. It was a fun time – I hung out primarily with a friend of mine from work, picked up a copy of the CE version of the game, and got it signed by some of the creators, which for some reason, was still pretty entertaining.
