This is Biz Stone. He is one of the founding members of twitter. He is obviously well regarded in Silicon Valley.

Spoiler

Why?

 

[Arucardo]

lol: "Gil -
Seriously, Will Wright must be rolling in his grave right about now. #simcity"

#SIMCITY WTF AM I WATCHING

I don't exactly have an issue with this being a GDC talk (...sort of...), but what a weird one to pick to make a big deal out of streaming on their website.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

glasses chick bailed out

 

[BHK3]

SimCity helper monkeys, coming 2013, $40 each

comes with a free DLC code for a gun in ME3

On disc Ape dlc. Also pre-order dlc for palm trees that might have coconuts if you have the right graphics card.

 

[pieatorium]

Ok, I understand this is GDC and it's NOT meant to be a media spectacle like E3.

But, with that said, what the fuck does any of this have to do with game design? The questions don't even have anything to do with games or their creation.

He's just rambling about completely unrelated-to-anything shit...

More importantly why are they livestreaming it. Probably wouldn't be completely terribe as a panel for people at GDC (if they could tie the talk to actual game development) but there was an EA PR guy hyping this as a "huge event" on twitter.

Except that it has nothing to do with gaming at all.
It's just using Sim City as a platform to spout off about global warming.

If I was a game devloper at GDC, I'd be pissed for them wasting my time.
This gives no insight and isn't a good talking point for my industry.

 

[Mattakuevan]

I didn't think my opinion of EA could plummet any further.

 

[JABEE]

Why is this streaming online?

Maybe he meant huge as in length, and not as in impact or importance?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I actually don't understand anything of what they've been saying for the past 15 minutes

Utter garbage

 

[BakedPigeon]

I feel like I'm watching a college lecture, just having this guys opinions thrown at me. I'm out.

 

[Mikeside]

I...uhh...forgot what the question was...

 

[Rebel Leader]

I believe RPS left the conference

 

[syko de4d]

this stream it´s like swtor endgame, totally boring :/

 

[legacyzero]

I didn't think my opinion of EA could plummet any further.

THIS.

Seriously, EA, is so BAD lately!

 

[JABEE]

Maybe he meant huge as in length, and not as in impact or importance?

Maybe global warming does have a "huge impact" on our life. Let me tell you...

 

[Htown]

what does this have to do with Sim City

what does this have to do with games

what does this have to do with gamers

what does this have to do with game developers

what does this have to do with ANYTHING other than this smug hipster douchebag running his stupid mouth about bullshit for thirty minutes?

 

[AlphaTwo00]

I don't exactly have an issue with this being a GDC talk (...sort of...), but what a weird one to pick to make a big deal out of streaming on their website.

Let's be clear: GDC Session talks don't officially start till tomorrow, with some other sessions running yesterday and today, BUT ALL of them wrap up at 6PM PST.

This is EA's own thing, and if they feel like this is a good way to piss away money, good for them.

 

[BY2K]

Did this guy took talking lessons with Jeff Goldblum?

I'm half expecting him to say "That's chaos theory."

 

[Raonak]

Jesus... what has this guy been talking about for the last hour?

 

[royalan]

What the fuck is this guy talking about.

 

[Azure Dream]

Except that it has nothing to do with gaming at all.
It's just using Sim City as a platform to spout off about global warming.

They're trying to make some point about games having a potential for an influence on the efforts to save the environment.

They're just doing a really bad job of it. At least the Twitter guy is trying to stay more on-topic, but he's also droning on and on for way too long. Him saying "I forgot the question" pretty much sums it up.

Let's be clear: GDC Session talks don't officially start till tomorrow, with some other sessions running yesterday and today, BUT ALL of them wrap up at 6PM PST.

Ah, I wasn't clear on that.

 

[Kerrby]

impossible - there are still people there in that picture

Haha, was just about to say this. 90% of the audience has left.

 

[Keyser Soze]

 

[AceBandage]

Jesus... what has this guy been talking about for the last hour?

Bad movies.

 

[Gummb]

LOL @ his ending.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Ladies And gentlemen, RPS has left the building

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Thank FUCK for that

 

[Mattakuevan]

shit ton of people just left, lol

 

[OdysseusVA]

What the hell did I just tune in to?

 

[nero2082]

I survived 2 speakers.

 

[darkside31337]

Uncalled for. Cena's promos had more people in the audience than this event does.

 

[BHK3]

He mentioned something about sim city inspiring kids.

Wat? All I did as a kid in sim city was use tornadoes and shit on the pre-made cities.

 

[Pachimari]

Is this event all about Sim City?

Edit:
Is the surprise game announcement actually Sim City?

 

[Skiesofwonder]

LOL at the awkward ending.

 

[Htown]

JESUS CHRIST

 

[Irish]

Oh... my... fuck... This guy is literally rambling on about nothing.

and, now, he stopped and the applause is fantastic!

CHARITY WATER TRAILER BITCHES!

 

[mclaren777]

This is where the entire event gets its redemption!

 

[legacyzero]

Turned this shit off. Fucking terrible!

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

 

[hellclerk]

Oh God, look at all the people leave. LOL

I'm still sticking it out to see if there's anything worth seeing...

 

[JABEE]

This isn't going to get better, is it?

 

[Mikeside]

something we took for granted.... games. new games.
while the problem seemed so big, we believed together, we could bore the shit out of you

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Wow, there actually is no other games. :lol

Fuck this I'm out

 

[Soroc]

Last speaker of the evening, 45 minutes with this guy?

I can't take it, I think I'm out...

 

[hym]

I suddenly understand why he wants to limit internet communication to 140 characters.

 

[MasterShotgun]

I said I was bailing, but I can't stop watching for some reason. Events this bad are too rare to pass up.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I survived 2 speakers.

New Survival Horror EA game????

 

[mysocksarepink]

does anyone know what's next after the tree talk?
