In the end I would have had to take the Metra out to the south suburbs just to get a car and drive an hour and a half up to Hoffman Estates. Would have been fun to mingle with a few journos from the area. I would have made the trip if the game was earlier in development, but I couldn't have sold a preview of a game that was due out in a couple days and was shown off at E3 a week earlier.

Heh, maybe some day we'll have to organize our own Chicago journo get together if there's enough interest.

Whereabouts do you live in the city? How long have you been here?

I saw your comment on one of those recent discussion topics, and I remembered that you're from Chicago. Are you going to be making the trip out to that press gathering that High Voltage is holding for The Conduit? I'm probably going to head out there even though it's probably the same thing that was shown at E3.

I was reading through other junk on Kyle Orland's site, noticed you dropped the name "Square Source" (previously "FFVIII Source").

Which struck a note with me. I think I got some "FFVIII site of the week" award from you once when I ran my own, VERY crappy fan site.

Always fun to read the misinformation of a 14-year-old.

Word. I write for RPGFan now. I guess all those little things we did as kids paid off...?

SMBHQ was part of VGF. Still is technically, although what's left of VGF is pretty much a joke. But yeah, they still host the servers and such, which works out fine for me.
