I will but i dont know what you look like!
I can't wait to see what new games they got as well. I wonder if they have them now, I can run down and look.
I'll be there all 4 days, though I don't know if I feel like staying there from open to close. I'd get sick of it fast. But I will be there every day for hours!

That's me, if you see me. My name's Nick.
I was there for around 4 hours today. I woke up with a cold so I wan't doing my best and I felt like crap so I left early. I didn't see you there, but I was wearing a shirt that said BORING on it if you saw me. Hope I feel better tomorrow so I can do better at Xenon.
Also I was dissapointed in the games chosen for the tournament. Not only are they not fun, but I suck at them!

I stayed home today (friday) because my cold isn't better. I have a lot of tokens left and I intend on using them!! I will show up sat and sun
TRIP REPORT woot
holy crap there were a lot of people. I saw the vids you took of last years tournament and it looked slow but this year was packed.
I went and got a cold so I was sick the entire time so I only went for 2-3 hours on sat and sun. I wasn't playing my best
I got to see people playing really well at these games. I enjoyed the sound of all those old games mixed with 80's music and people shouting out DAMMIT and SHIT when they died. Which happened a lot. I spent most of my time playing the Xenon pinball machine. It had a score of over 5 million on it but I could only get to 300k. And the ball kept getting stuck at the beginning of the tunnel so I had to tilt the machine to get it out of there.
I did see you once but I was playing a game at the time and when I was done you were gone. I'm suprised I didn't run into you more but there were a ton of people there so it was hard to find someone in that crowd.
I had fun, and I still have tokens left!
edit: I hope you took pictures/video because I didn't.
I did! They're not very significant though. Here they are:Originally Posted by Overbite
Funspot's Champions of Classic Arcades
This was my first time attending the tournament. I've been to Funspot four times in the last two years. I practically grew up there then fell off the face of the Earth for a decade. I'm glad to be back!

Good times had by all, but my friend Gerard lost one of his Mini-DV tapes and his TG Record book so hopefully somebody returned them.
We do have some video so we'll try to make the most of it.
I think they said over 150 people entered the tournament, which is insane compared to last year. I was right about people coming out of the woodwork after King of Kong.
That's an awesome photo gallery -- thanks! I've linked to it from my blog (see above), with a hat tip back to this thread.
Triforce is a pimp with that powerglove, NES hat and NES jacket. I didn't know he was Triforce though, but I knew that he was there because I heard Mark Alpiger talking to him in another aisle. Wasn't he the first one in the US to get a Wii?
And he's the one who kept beating my Contra scores.
