Party Like a Video Game Journalist

Ever wondered what it's like to party with a video game developer? We attended the Nexon party at E3 to see how they roll. Our verdict? It was off the hook!

I would love to see how a developer parties. I did attend the BIG/WIGI E3 party though, it was pretty epic. I hard Activision knows how to get down, though.

Buisy work indeed! Do you guys ever get any time to just relax? Seems like tons of tedious work to me.

Activision parties are more like big-named concerts and celebrity-tied affairs. They are fun, but not exactly a party since it has been more of a show in recent years.

Man, you are a busy bunch of boys....

Amazing, I would have just kept the camera right under that dancer the whole time.

[Maximum Yuks]

Looks pretty awesome

lol at 00:35

Looks like fun!

Forget sometimes developers are real people at the end of day and real people party!

That's not the typical developer party for a North American company. Typically they're more laid back and don't have half-naked women dancing in them. They don't often have a main attraction/performance and it's typically just a time for people to chat, drink, and do some dancing.

Now, for some European development companies... that's actually a tame representation of what one could see.

Also, 0:35 is just sad, so very sad.

[Caspel]

Nexon is from Korea, so definitely different than parties than Americans and Europeans.

^ I think I might have to agree with cgoodno on that one. I'm from Vancouver and Radical and EA don't seem to party that way.

I know Activision knows how to throw a party! Apparantly Nexon, can too! Looks like a good time.

The one thing I didn't get to do this year at E3 was attend any parties! Will have to remedy that next year. ;)

[UltimaEnder]

I should have gone to Nexon's party - great time it looks as though they provided!

[donscrillinger]

now thats wtf im talking bout .dem cats cats iz kickin it

[Trroy]

Game development parties can be fun, but they're not outrageous affairs. If this was a dev-only party, it would be *highly* unusual.. unless it was in Europe, I suppose.

Parties where journalists are invited tend to be wilder than dev-only parties. Developers are mostly pretty tame.

that is just awesome! booty shot :) Looking at hot women and dancing is very Hard work indeed ;)

[athmaus]

[lavachoke]

Wow, Nexon knows how to par-tay! 0:40, shake it hehe

That sure looks grueling. Maybe you should consider something easier, like war reporting. GZ

Oh, generic, stereotypical blonde bimbo girls with fake boobies and old ladies with fire sticks. Looks like fun... Well not really, I'll stick to my games and 2D lolis.

Heck, my 2D lolis look more real then them.

This is completely unrelated to anything note worthy involving games, why did this get approved? Oh, N4G.

[mistermostyn]

I went to a few developer/publisher parties during GamesCom 2009... though nothing quite so 'off the hook.'

They were more restrained in the sense of tons of people standing about chatting and drinking free ale... or, even better, hogging an outdoor section of a pub on a warm summer's night with regular people.

The above party feels somewhat forced.

'Hey, there are scantily clad women and a fire dude here... now surely that MUST be fun!'

[jzungre]

in all my years seen a gaming party like that.
