Another day, another conference, and Gizmodo hasn’t had enough fun after it’s TV-B-Gone fiasco back at CES ‘08. A series of practical jokes fell upon the Game Developers Conference today, and all fingers are pointing in one direction.

The full extent of the damage is uncertain, but the action started when several cherry bombs exploded in the men’s bathroom, sending a wave of water onto the show floor. Whoopie cushions were then activated as unsuspecting enthusiasts sat down at their booths.

Two entire floors were evacuated, as they were overwhelmed with the foul… stench of stink bombs detonating near the ventilation systems. In the confusion, the crowd blamed Gabe Newell for passing gas. He responded by shaking his crowbar towards the masses, and taking another bite of his hot dog.

But childish school pranks weren’t the only methods of Gizmodo havoc. Many of the developers returned to their booths to find their desktop wallpapers changed to gay porn. An entire Powerpoint presentation on Spore was replaced with a video of Will Wright cooking breakfast in his underwear. A representative from 3D Realms also reported someone had spit in his coffee, but no one believed him.

GDC officials have responded by banning Gizmodo staff from further events, as well as calling their mothers.

“It will be awfully hard reviewing that new digital camera with a stern grounding and a well-tanned behind,” said a GDC manager, “but the brats got what was coming to them.”
