Boston is beautiful, but cold.  Snow was on the ground (in small amounts) and still falling when we arrived;  that stopped shortly thereafter, but it's definitely still chilly to walk around.  Luckily, my hotel is directly connected to the convention center via a labyrinthine series of shopping centers and skyways, so my feet are tired, but warm.

More thorough thoughts about the things I've seen today will come later, but here's a very quick summary.

I've seen:  Civilization V, Mafia II, Bioshock 2's multiplayer DLC, Tritton's gaming headphones and branded "gaming eyewear" (yes, really), ATI's multi-monitor output video cards, including one that spreads a game across six(!) monitors.  I'm not sure that's actually as awesome as it sounds.  Actually I'm not even sure it sounds that awesome, but Warren sure seemed to like it.

I've lost:  My iPhone.  Well, lost or had it stolen, it's hard to say.  If some nice person returns it to the hotel staff, then it was the first one.  Unfortunately this means I'm only connected when I'm sitting in the media room with my netbook, which is not how I wanted this to go down, but what're you gonna do.

I wish I had:  More sleep.  Also, my iPhone.

I'm looking forward to:  Meeting with Perfect World Entertainment in 20 minutes, hopefully to talk about their MMO iteration on the Torchlight universe; having a nice dinner out with Meghan; the press-exclusive hour tomorrow morning where the crowds will be lessened and we might have a little more time to go in-depth with things.

More updates later, with expanded thoughts about the above and anything else I see.  I'll also be doing some podcast recording and probably some writing for Colony Of Gamers which I'll link to.  Happy Friday!  Happy PAX!
