I worked at gaming conventions. I probably played hundreds at each one.
A friend of mine dated an African Swede who was living in Arizona. Bit of a pompous dick. I couldn't tell if he was compensating or just absorbing Sweden wrong.
Look up Diggy Hole. You're welcome.
Also, it's really sad that Nightwish went all female.
Wait till you find out that Scandinavians identify with Nords
I think they're more angry that WarHammer is part of a joke. But enough about Sisters if the Inquisition.
I would as well.
It was created to counter crappy kids shows.
Thanks?
Venom and Sonic only because there is enough story to actually move them ahead. Dune, Ghostbusters and Deadpool are on a maybe because I hadn't seen the previous ones and don't k ow if I want to catch up, but have enjoyed their other works including videogames. The rest are right out.
You may want it to go Ka Bluey?
I really want to see that, but foster kids says I don't have the money or ability to do so
Don't forget the giant mushroom and a kids toy.
A part of me does as well.
If Godzilla really talked, it would be adorable and terrifying at the same time.
Its an odd vine, but it still holds up.
Why does he look like Austin Powers?
That turkey will be cooked when he's done.
I had someone say that to me the other day. I haven't seen what is being referenced.
Mele Kalikimaka!
Cordoba becomes Denver for flights
I wonder how many takes each part took. That was an obvious act.
Imzadi. It's about the love story between Riker and Troi.
Human artistic expression isn't gone. You need to know art to properly make a good picture in AI.
There's a guy in Orlando who did the design doc for a fake theme park using AI. It sort of blows my mind.
A hundred sixty years ago my grandparents would have been from different countries that happened to speak German. A hundred seven years ago I had ancestors fighting each other in World War I. Now we act like it's all one group that was in lockstep with each other.
There are three or Four Chinas if you ever actually look. We treat it like there's one.
The fact that two people met and fell in love despite their differences is just part of dealing with our modern world.
And smaller shows throughout the Northwest. The Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show generally has 400-500 arcade games.
The Portland Retro Gaming Expo has about 200 arcade games, plus the console area has 50 consoles with 30 games each. Then there are display areas like Neo Geo or Portland Indie Game Squad.
Seattle Retro Gaming Expo is way smaller with 30-40 arcade games, plus a console area. Sadly they don't have the funding to continue.
ComicCon will have at least 30-40 arcade games each, plus indie booths and secret games. There are also secret games, but those take some explaining.
There are game displays that appear at malls by specific companies. Microsoft and Nintendo have a thing every year. They're generally 10 games on display each.
Indie game folks have mini conventions that have 20 games brought by members. That's a cool scene. I met the guy who made Five Nights at Freddy's through that.
The bigger conventions will also have mini conventions or displays outside. Every hotel will have an area for journalists or influencers. That's a weird thing because it's just tvs with consoles and guys in suits watching. Imagine seeing a hand puppet talking to a camera outside a hotel as well.
All of these places have games for sale. I generally go in with a $100 budget. The popular 3 years ago games sell for a $1. So my collection is a bit more vast than I like to admit. Gamestores will have a small thing, and I'll grab a game or two. Pawn Shops will have games for cheap because they're outside of the gaming bubble. I got a PSP for $15.
One of the biggest things about moving to Florida is I am generally away from that. I want to work conventions like FreePlay and IAAPA, or find the nice game shops. Its just not as big here, and I work with theme experience designers, so they're generally ignorant of any scenes nearby. The newest game being played in my office is Guild Wars.
