The Game Developers Conference is an event based on learning and insight, not spectacle or glamour.

As such, a collection of images from the GDC doesn’t have the pizzazz of an E3 or PAX gallery. But that’s not going to stop me.

We’ll have plenty more GDC coverage on Thumbsticks during the next few days, but in the meantime thrill to the sight of people queuing, and signage.

You may see an Xbox sign. Attendees see the set-up of a coffee station.

There’s a lot of this.

See.

GDC Chess is played on a grand scale.

The Moscone Centre has some of the finest escalators on the West Coast.

Guaranteed to make you feel old.

If you have ever wanted to see the inside a GDC session before it gets started, here’s your chance.

Da-daaaaah!

We filled in every feedback survey. Did you?

Did she build it? Did she play it?

The beautiful sky no-one saw.

Great games. But hardly a booth.

The IGF nominees deserved better than this cramped space.

Although they had room to breath at the awards.

At a glance? You try glancing.

A passer-by wears just the cap for the picture.

Xbox, off.

This year’s flash forward felt lightly attended.

He may as well join the Army.

Neon!

Neon! Neon!

Neon! Neon! Neon!

A wonderful Atari exhibition

Our next home console.

Until next year…
