I've noticed plenty of people (like 99% of them men) walking around with such belt buckles. Damn Hot Topic for such a fad becoming over popularized. I say the first Halo 3 buckle is the best. Thanks for the links to the products.

As someone who's been actively trying to get better at the networking angle(I've foolishly let it slide in the past), the tips raise a question I think a lot of people in my situation don't even know they have:
When we say to be respectful of conversations, what (in general) is the acceptable approach? Obviously, this will vary from person to person, but I suspect (particularly given your reaction to me calling John "Mr. Romero"), that my default level-of-respect may be more conservative than is entirely healthy (not to mention sometimes "hovering" in hopes of getting a polite turn irritates people you'd rather not).
I've been discovering, among it's other peculiarities and often because of them, that etiquette in the gamedev arena is... let's say "frequently unexpected".

The funny thing is, some of the bigger parties are the least enjoyable. I have to agree that the smaller, organized ones (e.g. speaker's party) are often better. Of course, as mentioned, the random get-togethers are cool too... but we AI folks travel in packs all week anyway.

Yeah absolutel best GDC moments for me were hanging out with people that I'd worked with in a virtual office environment and being able to meet them live. Chasing invites seems kind of venal in retrospect, although free food is worth its weight in... food.
