So we’re here at GDC, and it can get pretty crazy with all the panels, interviews, parties, and other happenings at the conference. I have an interesting story that reflects just how chaotic it can be, so I hope you enjoy.
We were trying to meet up with Hitoshi Sakimoto yesterday for a little pre-interview chat, and I was told he was staying in a nearby chain hotel. I naturally made my way over to the chain location nearest to the convention center and had no luck finding him. Meanwhile, in his hotel a mile away, Sakimoto was apparently looking for me in the lobby and found me, or so he thought. He later noted that this person looked a whole lot like me (poor guy), and that they talked for a good 10 minutes before Sakimoto said, “Wait, are you Napolitano-san?,” to which my doppelganger said, “No, I think you have the wrong guy.”
I need to meet this guy. Have you ever encountered your doppelganger?
