Ahhh…GDC. Barring Halloween, probably my favorite time of the year. This year was different than years past, because this was my year as a PGD (pregnant game developer). So I didn’t drink, I couldn’t stay out nearly as late before wanting to fall over in a coma, and I had the hardest time just trying to keep myself fed. (Which, as any pregnant woman can tell you is quite a chore in and of itself). But I still managed to have a really great time, and I’m here to share my highlights for GDC 2007. First though, WIGI. » » » »

Where oh where has Jetgirl been?

The succinct answer is holding onto the toilet for dear life and falling asleep in brainstorming meetings. Yep, I’m pregnant, and I’ve had just about enough energy to make it to work everyday, try to stay awake, and make it back home. Any and all side projects (including my dear blog) had fallen by the wayside.

The good news is I am starting to get my energy back. A little. But its interesting how something as simple as growing a baby inside you(!) can change things. » » » »

Hello Jetgirl,
This is your Wii. How are you
today? Come back soon so wii can
play.  Take care,
Bonnii

I must confess, I am in love. Her name is Bonnii. And shii is biiutiful. The most biiutiful console you have ever siin. It’s been hard to forumlate this post, since there is so much I’d like to say about her. And, of course, I’ve been too busy spending time with my new friend to contemplate writing at all. Or doing much else for that matter.

wiiiiii
Come to momma you hot little thing!

Only a few weeks left! Are you as foaming at the mouth ecstatic as I am??
As you might recall, some time ago I exclaimed with longing and adoration that this was going to be the best thing since sliced pumpkin toast. It might have taken awhile, but now it seems like the online gaming community at large has now pretty much leapt with two feet on the Wii-wagon.Check out the Wii calculator to figure out exactly how much you’ll be coughing up when the magic day arrives. Mine comes out to $391.42.

And set yourself up with a Mii! You can try all the combinations you could possibly want before your little white box even goes online. (Tho to be honest, most combinations will wind up looking stoned and/or a bit too much like Michael Jackson.)

This is my Mii.
Lots of choices,
most of them ugly.

If you haven’t yet watched Gamejew, get your ass over there! This man has true appreciation few can match. Plus his songs are freakin awesome!

And here’s a Wii Halloween costume by your new best friend and mine, Mr. Bliss. Freakish, yes. But oh so Wii!!!

So whatd’ya say?  Are you ready to Wii??
