Both my camera and the lighting in the rooms sort of suck, so the quality's not always the best, but hey, it gets the job done.

day 1:
the console room
again
NES challenges; that's Mike staring at... something
more NES challenges
various stuff for sale
Frezy, andrewg, and tjp playing some SMB1
a classy bunch (Frezy, nate, Carcinogen)

day 2:
waiting to get into the panel room
waiting more blurrily
waiting even more blurrily
in Friday's SDA panel— it was a decent turnout.
the crowd around andrewg as he did a SMB1 glitches demonstration
...and the crowd one table over, watching the Melee tournament ;)
Twin Galaxies's corner— those people played Nibbler literally all day long, nonstop.
Molotov and spineshark
just spineshark
nate playing Metroid Prime, with MatrixTN and me watching
random licence plate we found in the parking garage
and its owner
Best Buy excursion
group picture— think tri-hex really makes this one

day 3:
Grant Kirkhope during his panel— very interesting stuff
Benjamin Heckendorn during his panel— pretty funny guy
in the OCRemix panel
Twin Galaxies booth "babe"
in Saturday's SDA panel
check out the crowd gathered outside Saturday's SDA panel
nate and Mike playing Bare Knuckle/Streets Of Rage
mural that was done live
hot dogs
this Power Trooper was scared of nate (more in the below video)

some videos from day 3:
the SDA panel
cowardly Power Trooper in Metroid Prime

holy fucking SHIT a picture of mike uyama in the flesh

i'm not sure which one he is still but holy shit when i figure it out...:)!!!

btw nate & frezy look like cool badasses

i wanna see someone make a vid of stanski picking up chicks Smiley

Mike is scarier. I don't want to meet him in a dark alley at night.

Also, Frezy has a nice shirt. I have that one too. nate's shirt doesn't surprise me one bit.

Tiki

2009-01-02 02:58:28 am

I don't even know what the fuck this is

Wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley at night? He looks like one of those big friendly wouldn't-hurt-a-fly type dudes to me Tongue

Carc looks fucking fucked up. WTF MAN? Lips Sealed

Frezy holds the controller weird for Contra Tongue

andrewg and stanski are hawt Shocked

and nate looks way happier than I expected. Smiley

that's my analysis. I wish I could've been there, looks like you guys had tons of fun. Promise me you'll all still be around in 5 years, then I'll be 20 and will probably be able to go, k? Kiss

everybody wanna tell you the meaning of music

I should probably be asleep but I woke up at like 2:30pm so it's kinda hard to. Instead I'll label some pics or something to help Alucard and anyone else out. I love how these pics and vids are totally not a good representation of everything, lol. Like the part when Radix came. Shocked

Again: to the right is Molotov
NES challenges: I'm sitting down at the left holding hard-earned (not really) NES challenges Expert t-shirt and looking at the schedule I guess, Breakdown is standing at the nearest challenges laptop probably wondering where the guy is to add even more points after another successful challenge, you can barely see Emptyeye's face right behind him, then it's some other dude (don't think it's SDA, sorry if it is), you can barely see andrewg behind that guy, Mike is the penguin standing at the farthest computer, and andrewg's brother is the guy behind watching
More: three closest guys are Maur/Vorpal Edge, spineshark, and Frezy
Various stuff for sale: as soon as we walked in, trihex was like "oh man I gotta buy that SNES box!" but I guess he didn't

"Tekken 2" vid: by far the shittiest and least funny bit of the entire time of playing that game... Mike said he got ripped off paying $15 for this in Mexico instead of buying Pocky and Rocky, then Frezy said his friend actually bought this game for $100

Mike's basement: in order right to left: Frezy, andrewg, stanski, Maur, me, Mike's head, Ark, spineshark leaning forward, MatrixTN

Alucard: I love how no matter what Nate and Frezy looked like, you would have said exactly the same thing Grin

Sum2k3: I know he's a pothead, but he's actually not high here
Tiki: that's right, Mike is a happy penguin... btw if you think Nate is happier than expected, if you saw Radix, well lol, he's awesome and also the complete opposite in personality of what many people would think

i will def be at the next one, in super saiyan alucard form....make me an announcer or something and the fans will come

btw ark looks cool too, and of course stanski looks hot in that hoody if i don't mind me saying, which i dont

also i think you guys HAVE to do some kind of challenge where the loser has to hit on girls on camera, would be fucking awesome. i think the vids are like the best part so far. i wanna see mike stroll into a nearby arcade on camera, where some japanese guys are bullying a poor white guy that sucks at street fighter, and then go "it's uyama time." someone should get a food speed run on camera or have stanski ask random hot girls if they know of his sonic 2 run. you guys gotta use that camera to the max <3

[quote="nate"]
some videos...

Man, that stinks. All the fun happened at Mike's house while I went back to my apartment. I had Quiznos. Oooh! Roll Eyes

I'm gonna give Mike a piece of my mind today...

Also, yesterday, when I was playing SMB1 in the gaming room (not shown here) a camera crew started videotaping me. I told them I was probably the worst player and that somewhere in the festival is the world-record holder.

Guy: "How?"
Me: "The fastest time!"
Guy: "Oh, you mean he's a speedrunner?"
Me: "That's right! He should be around here somewhere..."
Guy: "Thanks!"

But why are you making photos of girls? Never seen one? Grin

Reminds me in a sketch comedy of two WoW playing Giga TV hosts talking about women and one of them asks "What is 'women'?", lol.

I want off the ride....

because of my inability to show up I was going to ask if someone wouldn't mind carrying a cardboard cut out of me (I would've paid for it). this would just be to say, look I was there. of course this was inspired by a friend who couldn't go on a trip so some people got a cardboard stand of him and took it. great pics those were.

looks fun, wish I was there to (fail) have fun and meet some of you. and also maybe see how I match up to others.
