Lost Planet

Last week I mentioned a little event we were doing up at Microsoft. Well, the event has now come and gone…

We got to hang out with a great bunch of guys and talk all things “Lost Planet.” Thursday night we had a great sort of round-table discussion in the hotel lobby while we waited for the rest of the crew to roll in. Friday morning we headed over to MS to finish setting up (the MS Community team did most of the work) and run through our agenda for the day before the arrival of the MVPs. I took the crew through the single-player mode with the first 4 stages during a Q&A session about the game. Then it was time to take a tour of the Xbox facilities, including the XOC (Xbox Operations Center) before heading to the on-site Microsoft Cafe. After a hearty lunch, we moved into a different room for some multiplayer action.

I’ll have a full report and lots o’ pictures tomorrow. I forgot to bring the cable for my digital camera to work today, so you’ll just have to wait.

In the meantime, check out the coverage done by our guests at the event…
