Besides the sessions that have already been mentioned, I also enjoyed the "Sex and Gender in Games" panel. I went in expecting yet another "Girls don't play games because Lara Croft has big boobs" discussion and what I got was 6 very smart and interesting individuals discussing some topics that I had previously not given much thought (and I got a kick out of Ernest Adams wanting a game that equaled Susan Sarandon's performance in Bull Durham). Probably the two sessions I wanted to attend the most were yours and Greg Costikyan's so it really was a shame that they were scheduled at the same time. In the end I chose the Casual Games session and thought that it was definitely one of the high points of the conference (it even validated waking up at 8 am on a Saturday). I really enjoyed it and I'm glad I got to meet you and briefly talk about random game technology issues like Director and Torque after the presentation.

It was too bad you had to run directly against Greg on Saturday, as I was very interested in your talk as well. It was a pleasure meeting you, and thanks for the feedback as well!
