    This was after CGE when I got home on irc.

    Sothy: Hey Balloon I didn't see you at CGE, wtf?
    Me: Wtf Sothy I went up to your table, introduced myself and chatted with you for a couple minutes.
    Sothy: uhh?

    Conclusion: Sothys attention span IS shorter than a gold fish.

    That final quote was followed by "What a load of complete bullshit."

    To be continued
    Actually, my exact reply to that statement was, "That has to be the biggest piece of cock-a-mamie bullshit I've ever heard"... a sentiment I still hold true as my aching bone recover.

    Sorry for the thread-jack, workers, return to your boxes...

    Was I standing there when he said this or was he just saying it all day? The book looked interesting but not $55 interesting.

    During the auction, they were about to auction off the Big Boss/Naked Snake-1/1 scale (about 6' tall) statue that Chris Bieniek had brought in.

    John Hardie: Up next is the Solid Snake statue.

    *everyone looks back and gasps can be heard*

    John Hardie: I wonder how the winner will get that thing home?

    The_4th_Survivor: Carry on luggage! Priority Mail Flat Rate Box!

    *crowd laughs*

    Pre-CGE quote:

    "Oh silly Dave! In Hardie-land there is no rush. He's probably sipping tea right now. Gives me a stroke every year!"

    Sean Kelly to Dave G. referring to the show program and my habit of waiting till the last minute for everything.

    "Ride The Deuce, have fun, $2 one-way, $5 all day". I can't get it out of my head.

    Actually, what I said was "it will help you sell your games" since each game, now matter how obscure, is given a substantial description/review.

    True, my book is not a price guide (I'll leave that to the highly capable DP guys and Video Game Collector Magazine), it's more of a player's guide since it describes every game for every pre-NES system in detail.

    Regarding the price, that is entirely up to the publisher, so it was out of my hands. They chose to publish it as a sturdy, deluxe, text book-style hardcover. Several people who purchased a copy (including the man who owns Atari2600.com) have since contacted me and told me how much they are enjoying the book.

    Thanks to everyone who bought a copy (and to everyone who put up with my sales pitch).

    Talking Who's hotter?

    From the CGE organizers keynote: Joe and John told a story of their little rivalry about who is hotter: Kimberly from Space Ace, or Daphne from Dragon's Lair.

    Joe: "OK, let's settle this. Who thinks Kimberly is hotter?"

    <About 1/4 of the room raise their hands>

    Joe: "Who thinks Daphne is hotter?"

    <The rest of the room raises their hands!!!> (including me! ) The response was priceless...
