1UP and IGN working side by side? Has the world gone topsy-turvy? Ignore the optical illusion-themed wallpaper generously provided by the JW Marriott; you aren’t seeing things. Me and several other brave souls will spend the next several days in this room slaving over hot laptops, all for you, gentle reader. And as someone who has spent a good portion of his life trapped in conference rooms at nerdy events, I have one thing to say: we of the enthusiast press are a clean-smelling bunch. Three cheers for hygiene!
