…three.

My laptop battery is about to die so I have to keep this short. Yesterday when I came onto the show floor, I saw something I wasn’t expecting: a booth dedicated to Ratchet Deadlocked, the latest in the Ratchet and Clank series, coming out this Christmas.

R&C is my faaaavorite game of all time. I got super excited to think I’d be playing this latest one six months ahead of its release.

Today, after spending about half an hour playing it, I actually got to meet one of the producers! I had never before gushed so much in my life. I told him that I’d played all three games several times through, and use R&C as an example and a reference so often in my work, that some of my teams actually refer to it as “Marie-Jo’s bible”. I gushed and I gushed, and left a puddle of drool at his feet.

Then I rush excitedly back to our booth to tell my colleagues.

About an hour later, I walk by R&C again, and he pulls me aside and gives me a Ratchet Deadlocked t-shirt, like the ones the Insomniac staff wear! I’m actually thinking of framing it. I mean, given to me by a producer of the game!

The best part was when he told me that he, too, gets his ass handed to him by 8-year-olds when he plays it online.
