Fellow editor Dante Maddox and I spent around 5 hours at the E For All exhibition today, checking out some of the newest games and weirdest nerds the industry has to offer. Following is a play-by-play of the day’s events…
A typical scene at the videogame nerd exposition.
12:00 – We check in, and somehow I don’t have a pass waiting for me. To compound the problem, I forgot to bring business cards with me. Dante name-drops our contact and I have to show them articles I wrote on CraveOnline to prove that I am a member of the press and not just some punk kid, which is a subset that I also belong to. Somehow this gets straightened out and we head for the first booth we see.
We play a little bit of “Sword of the New World” a pretty cool MMORPG developed in part by Izumi Hamamoto, who also developed the Shadow Heart series. There is a “booth babe” there dressed as a pirate, but she claims to be a “musketeer”, whatever that is. Dante is afraid to have a picture taken with her, so I take a picture of her by herself.
Believe it or not, this was one of the only costumed booth babes in the joint.
Someone tries to get me to come up with a pose for the model that no one else has thought of for some contest but I can’t think of anything that isn’t NSFW and don’t want to look like a creep so I make a lame excuse and run away.
