Senior Creative Director of EA/Mythic Entertainment Paul Barnett is set to
Speak at the GDC 2009.
From March 23-27 there will be numerous speakers and presentations at the San
Francisco Game Developer's Conference at the Moscone Center. Paul looks to have
been chosen for his unique approach at running things in an MMO, if not for his
wit alone.

Paul Barnett
Senior Creative Director, Mythic Entertainment
Paul is the 'Energetic Brit' who has championed Mythic Entertainment's great MMO
WWARHAMMER ONLINE: AGE OF RECKONING. Through the use of video blogs, podcasts
and behind-the-scenes interviews, he has brought a wider understanding to the
fun, fury, joy and madness of making a major MMO. Known for his enthusiastic
energy and belief in the MMO game system, he enjoys sharing views, ideas,
opinions and dogma with like-minded souls.
He is currently the senior creative Director for EA's Mythic Entertainment,
helping the team deliver on the vision, the mission and the WARHAMMER idea. He
is known for his passionate attitude to both the fun and business aspects of
gaming. He tells good stories as well! If you want to hear about MMOs, if you
want to hear something different, with hand waving and perhaps white sunglasses
then come watch him.

Session Description
Barnett brings his own views, insights and tales about life in the MMO world.
The things he will never do again, the things he wished he had done and the path
of least resistance he followed to get here. Full of snappy quotes, jaws like
scars and a potted history of gaming in the 80's. Expect hand waving, stupid
pants, white sunglasses and energy. GDC will never be the same. Everything you
hear is a personal opinion and is no way endorsed by EA, any studios, affiliates
or partners. The views expressed by Barnett are his own, unless he stole them
from someone else.
