Pictochat Backchannel from GDC
From Kim Pallister, notice of the active backchannel happening at the 2006 Game Developers Conference - on Nintendo DSs armed with Pictochat!
I had my DS there, I was trying to nudge in on the Metroid Prime game happening on stage. I didn't think to use Pictochat! But it looks like Vince and Noah did! Thanks for the photo Doox.
Here's a writeup about it:
The third best thing about the show was apparently the amount of Pictochat action going on in all the major keynotes. Of course, this anonymous metachat style leads to merciless barbs, such as when Valve's Gabe Newell accidentally started talking about 'beef' (as opposed to 'brief') in his Choice Awards intro spot, to a chorus of Pictochatted 'LOL' comments. Next time, GDC, let's see the Pictochatrooms projected on the screen behind the speakers - OMG?
Yes, let's! Wednesday night, anyone?
