To amend my earlier statement, this is a conference of European game devels, so it's probaby the worst of all worlds, personal-hygene wise.

Last night we took a boat to some other part of the island,, where we were greeted in typical sony excess by marching bands and stilt walkers. In fact, I'm pretty sure Sony didn't even hire these guys - with 1,100 of us descending on the event site, I looked up and saw native Maltese leaning out of their windows to see the goings-on. My theory is they figured the Allies were landing again. The fat, smelly, pale Allies.
