Thought I might mention this, since no one seems to have noticed...

Quote:The 7th annual ceremony will be hosted by Double Fine founder and 2006 award recipient Tim Schafer (Psychonauts, Grim Fandango, Full Throttle), and will feature entertainment by MC Chris and video game humorists Mega64. In addition, organizers note that the Independent Game Festival Awards will be announced during the same ceremony in a program hosted by PocketWatch Games' Andy Schatz.

@Tom- haha that reminds me of when I went to IGC 2 years ago with a big head (way bigger than I deserved)... I got off the plane and someone asked me if I was Andy Schatz. I was flattered and said "yes I am, how do you know about me, my game?" And he said, "no, your laptop was broadcasting your name over the entire plane. You should really secure that network."

The point being, don't namedrop me. It won't get you anywhere ;)

@Phil- Ha, well we weren't selected as a finalist this year... something about the friggin game not being done ;)

Timmeh- hahahahaha yes he may have given our table the stink eye for being loud and obnoxious during last year's ceremony.

HAHA I love star whoring, but no, I definitely seems to have pissed off some people because I tend to get modded down every time I post. No biggie, makes me chuckle ;)

@Andy Schatz

It's me who's 1 starring you. I have 1000 fake GG accounts that I started just to 1 star people. It's a hobby. You have to have a hobby. If you don't have a hobby... well then you have to have a life. Screw that!

Seriously, congrats and don't forget to thank God at some point... he really likes being named in award cerimonies... makes him feeling important in the grand scheme of things.
