I mention something similar about GDC as well: take the time to hang out on the smoking balcony if you can!

A couple of the high level producers and execs smoke and so we all get together at random intervals of the day and talk about the projects the company is working on.

I wouldn’t recommend starting to smoke as a way to introduce yourself, but it holds an interesting paradigm, which is just know what the people do during the day to unwind. Some execs go get coffee every morning in the cafeteria, others go outside for a smoke, some play pool for 20 minutes or so. Get involved and don’t be afraid to say hi and don’t be afraid to offer your opinion!
