I love going to Summer Game Fest. I wasn’t around to experience that because I was at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, watching Geoff Keighley announce a Game of Thrones RTS and a Wu-Tang game.

I didn’t check my phone for hours, and every TV was playing a video game. And despite this year’s strangeness, I look forward to going back to Summer Game Fest.
