If we're using this games to _demo_ Ichouse, that's one thing; but I don't 
think that's what were about.

Certainly, if people are going to Origins, that'd be a fine place to get 
together with some less-often-seen friends and try some of the IGDC 
entrants, but I'm not clear on how having entries in a week earlier makes 
that better.

I dunno; anyone else got $0.02 to throw in on this?
