We had a small but very hardworking crew at DICE last week in Las Vegas. Andrew Pfister, Adam Sessler, myself and some key behind-the-scenes personell helped make everything possible in collaboration with the kind folks at DICE. With that behind us, what was your favorite panel?
As mentioned on Feedback, I couldn't help but marvel at the science panels at DICE 2010. No doubt part of that is being three years out of college and remembering what it's like to sit in a classroom atmosphere again (it almost made me miss it). Many of those presentations were only tangentially related to video games, but by the end, gave you a better understanding of what makes them tick.
In terms of games, the short-but-sweet speech by Activision CEO Bobby Kotick had me furiously tapping at my keyboard. You couldn't help but feel sympathy for the guy by the end, but as he's apologizing to Harmonix for dividing the music games business and shutting down RedOctane at the same time, it feels...disingenuous. It's hard to tell how much more we really got to know about the man steering the ship at the biggest game publisher right now. It was fascinating, nonetheless.

The RPG speech is by far my favorite. I've listened to it at least 5 times now. But the one on industry growth and race in games was very informative.

I liked the Kotick one aswell but the RPG one was good too.

I'm working with an indie game studio to create a tech demo, atm, so my favorite was the video on creating an original IP with Vigil Games creative director Joe Madureira and general manager David Adams.

There were a lot of good ones, but Naughty Dog caused me to browse in the career section on their website.
Honorable mention for Jesse Schell's long rant on the future of disposable technology.

So far, my favorite part of DICE is that you just used "tangentially".
