As such, we had a kiosk at the IGF pavilion at GDC.<br /><br />Cliffy B was kind enough to come over and give the game a go. Despite never having played it before, he picked it up immediately, and was quite good at it.<br /><br />Little did I know that he was just after us for our pies. I turned around to chat briefly with another conferencegoer, and when I turned back, Cliff was gone. I checked our pie stores: zero.<br /><br />Hmm.Ichiro Lambehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327466506146538261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7612061954070922434.post-57072942015233798982010-10-14T07:41:04.097-07:002010-10-14T07:41:04.097-07:00@taurean actually he linked it on his twitter acco...@taurean actually he linked it on his twitter account, and seemed to find it funny.
