Embargo My Ass...Part 2

As I stated in my previous post, I've now found out exactly what the crack was with the 5pm Embargo on UbiDays.

Chris Easton kindly explained that there was a slight communication mix up and that while the press conference stuff wasn't embargoed, hence Eurogamer publishing, the stuff from the second day was.

As I said to Chris, I appriciate that these things happen and that I'm grateful for being invited and for the effort Chris put in to get me there. Sadly, that doesn't change the fact that my preparations for getting the announcements out on BXB almost Live were totally screwed up and any chance of being first with the news had been lost.

Other than the fact I really shouldn't call people from Eurogamer "tossers" or risk becoming their office whipping boy, I'm not sure what other learnings I can take from this incident. Don't believe everything you're told? Knew that one already. Never presume anything? Knew that one too. Don't trust people? That's just harsh. Maybe it's double check everything...

So, to Tom and Ellie, I apologise and thanks for reading my blog!

So, swiftly moving on. We've just published our Splinter Cell:Conviction Preview. I thought it looked awesome!
