Back from TGS

Whew. Just back from four days of craziness in Japan. Will write up some details later, but the short version goes something like:

• Saw a ton of old friends that were there for the show (Alice, Robin, Doug, Casey, Atman, Vlad, Jane, many more)
• Saw a show that was ripe with derivative sequels and uninspired content... but there were signs of life.
• Ate some great meals and had interesting and productive discussions
• Felt bad at my non-existant Japanese skills as at least 4 of my western friends were speaking at a functional level.
• Went out with the gang from Kotaku and discovered that the young'uns tire out early these days :-)

More details later. Right now, nappy time.
