Why? There is literally nothing else at Fanexpo worth seeing.

Worst post of the year. Unless you're kidding, haha. This is the busiest, most packed year of the Expo yet.

Artists Alley alone this year is a quarter of the floor- it's amazing the kind of creative amazing shit that comes out of indie artists.

I haven't been able to try the PS4 out yet because I can't lose a whole hour to that line. I'm hoping they'll do me a solid as an exhibitor and let me try it at closing time quick.

I was able to play ACIV Black Flag on the PS4. It took an hour to lineup, and they give you either 10 minutes or whenever you finish the demo. I fucked up my first attempt, so my second attempt was cut short.

Got a t-shirt after everything.
 
Drive Club was fun but I think those crazy rumbling xbone triggers impressed me more. It reminded me of playing racing games in arcades with the steering wheeled rumbling all over the place.

Text me. I'll be downtown in about half an hour and we can hang. Or you can head over to Seazons and see if it's still open or not? lol

Anyone else can get in touch with me by text tonight too if you have any questions or get to Seazons, find it closed, and are wondering where we are, or something like that, lol

Serious? Lol. This might be a tradition :).

At least I have my laptop AND an iphone this year as to avoid running around with my ipod touch trying to find internet access in order to figure this shit out last minute.

I promise next year I'll choose a restaurant that's open... (or one that's closed...and will provide a back-up in advance, lol)

I'm near the convention centre now grabbing street passes like a peasant. Are you guys at Casey's now? Or you still deciding on where to go?
 
I did say I was buying a round.

And Kraftwerk gets plenty more because of that thread.

So who/what group size am I looking for at Casey's?

Went yesterday with a friend. He met Becky Cloonan. I spent lots of money on comics and games.

About four dozen people were dressed as the TARDIS from Doctor Who.

Couldn't make the meet up today, sorry dudes! Legs were #dead from working almost the entire convention.

Played Powergrid in the boardgame room and it was so cool!
 
Worst Fanexpo. Marvel and DC weren't even there. Way less Q&A and discussion panels. They must've raised the vendor rents cuz plenty I seen previous year were either MIA or sharing booths. Prices for toys were through the roof. Sony and Microsoft took up way too much empty space. Celebrity cancelations abound and even though it's spread our between south and north building it was still way over crowded. This could be relieved if they made the aisles wider. So much empty space by the gaming side.

I can't believe some of the prices I saw for even just random little things. Some guy was trying to sell individual stickers that looked photocopied onto sticker paper for 5 bucks per sticker.

Another table had bookmarks for $10 that looked like, again, photocopied paper. I can't get over this shit.

Also the entrance fee just to get in is crazy. Why is it $50 to get in on Saturday, but $25 to get in to see the same exact booths on Thursday? You need to pay per autograph anyways so I don't think its because of the "celebrities"...
