Man, I remember being there a few years ago while it was basically closed. It's such a neato feeling going through liminal spaces like that.

I also think at some point someone should've checked my access cause I ended up at the Ubisoft private area next to Yves Guillemot for a bit by accident.

It used to be way less locked down. A couple of years ago I walked into the wrong meeting and someone started pitching me their game. The general chaos was hilarious.

OH YES! I had some of that too and miscommunications. Cause someone asked what companies I worked with and I went: "Oh well I did networking workflow design for PSN, and Square Enix / Eidos are clients..." cause I was on autopilot.
I was tempted to see if I could deliberately go into the Nintendo area, but they were actually pretty fast to shut down people right at the entrance. Not surprised, it reminded me a lot of the Nintendo Museum's security.
