The local news media also took to the streets to get general public’s view about today’s events. Most reactions about the gaming programming technology conference were positive, but a few people were not happy with the comotion created by evening party goers. “I like the idea of having a gaming programming technology conference in our town, but can’t sleep at night with all them creating a rucus,” said Delley Corsello, who lives adjacent to the main facilities. “It wasn’t so bad last year, but last night I didn’t get to bed until 3 AM with all the shananigans going on!” Many of this year’s best gaming programming technology questions did not come from the crowd, but from a slew of online website forums. Forums have become increasingly popular and server as watchdogs over the many gaming programming technology industry providers. Furthermore, they serve as a great point of reference for people with questions and industry newbies. Mayor Naji Llarena, who spearheaded the original gaming programming technology committee that brought the conference to town, spoke joyfully about the boom for local business: “Restaraunts, Night Clubs, and the mall have all benefitted greatly. Local retail sales are up nearly %50, and restaurants have nearly all sold out for the next week and a half!” “Wow!!!”, said Estrada Juncker, a first time conference goer, “I’m so thankful that many gaming programming technology industry heavyweights took time out to come and talk to us. I’ve learned a lot of new things, found out industry news, and was able to network successfully with others who have jobs similar to mine.” Gaming programming technology conference goers, fans, and a few dignitaries from other countries all enjoyed the keynote speech by Coakley Thielemier, director of the Deptula Grunewald INC company. The speech brought the crowd to its feet, with an ovation that lasted for nearly 6 minutes.
