Buckley is looking forward to attend the game developers conference in San Francisco next month, particularly for parties where he can chit-chat with industry A-listers. But there is one problem, he may be turned away from the parties because he is not old enough to drink. He will just turn 20 this week and the fake id he made is recently confiscated.
