Finally how was your experience at Gencon? Are you a board gamer? Were there any products you had to get?

It was great fun. I've never been, and I was shocked at the size of the crowds. It took me two days just to see the entire main exhibitor hall, and even then I didn't realize how many other rooms there were with card games, board games and even the many speakers -- there were speakers? Talking about games! Inconceivable! Yet there it was.

I'm not much of a board gamer, myself, though I did buy a great movie trivia game called "Cineplexity". I did pick up a whole bunch of tabletop gaming stuff (especially from "the Forge", a place that specializes in off-the-beaten-path RPG games) and more costuming than I could almost fit back in my suitcase. I actually found this beautiful leather doublet that not only fit but looked spectacular. I am such a nerd, it's sad.

My voice is also raw. After many interviews and podcasts, I was nearly hoping on Sunday that the media people might already have gone home so my throat could get a rest. And if I see the DA demo one more time I think I may start choking on my own vomit (who knew such a thing was possible?) -- but overall? I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I'm definitely going back next year, whether Bioware sends me or not.

We'd like to thank David for his time. Vomit not withstanding.

Questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you .
