Great to see you finally in person Ed. Ive had a great time over here in the US. About to fly back tommorow (on whats looking to be something like a 36 hour journey).

I just want to second what ed's said, it was great meeting you all, i had one helluva time, it felt like a great family get together, and I hope this community never gets too beyond itself that we lose that feeling.\

For all those that didnt get to IGC, you missed it, but get your ass to next years and we'll have an even BETTER time!

I third that. Had a helluva time. Great games, great food, great beer, great folks, etc. It definitely thickened this community's existence (IMHO). Plus it was nice to finally put ugly mugs to names. ;) Looking forward to next year.

Thanks to Jeff and crew for holding IGC, to all the art people (Danny, Joe, Barry, etc) for the great insight and safe trip to those (Phil, Melv, Pascal, etc) hopping the pond. Peace and chicken grease.

While I knew next to nothing about garage games or any of the GG regulars I enjoyed the IGC immensely. It was great to meet so many like minded individuals. I learned a lot just talking to people and many of my perceptions about indie game development were changed.

I smell a quadruple or quint approval on that one...

What a blast!!!
It was so cool to meet (and drink) with everyone. What a bunch of characters =)
IGC was a fun, fun time. I'm having a hell of a time adjusting to reality now....

I think as a community an event like that can only bring GG and the Torque community closer. I can't wait until next year. (WE'RE FLYING!!!)
Thanks to everyone involved and everyone there for the invaluable information gleaned and the good times had.

We're back in Colorado now (34 hours on the road when all was said and done...NEVER, NEVER, making that trip again on the ground) and freaking amped to get working on our collaboration (That only could have happened at IGC) With Aaron Haugh on the Task Force Warrior Project. Expect to see some good stuff from us soon....
