I pretty much just looked around but the BF3 exhibitors wanted an video interview from me before and after seeing BF3 footage as part of a joke since I was dressed up as Ghost from MW2. It was cool.

Dragon Nest/Vindictus (8th person to try them both out, so I won a FireWolf SpiritHood)

Yes, but I wasn't in the SJ booth. I was demoing for the Tabletop Arena section (had the white shirt on for Saturday). If you passed a guy that had all the Munchkin decks, Munchkin Quest, Frag Gold, Nanuk, Chez Geek, and Illuminati on the table, that was me.

I'm also the guy that handed out all the bookmarks to the players in the Munchkin tournament on Friday.

I never did get to try Munchkin this trip - it was one of my goals. The tables were always super full and mostly playing the Zombie version. I was going to pick up the basic set but ended up picking up a few other games as I wanted to try it before buying to see how complex it is for different age groups.

For the trip itself:

Prepax Dinner - fun
Dim Sum - even more fun and tasty

Panels:
Keynote
Q&A #1
GeekDad
Escapist Panel
Final Omegathon

Concert:
VGO/Paul & Storm/JoCo - I have to say Paul & Storm were in rare form, completely full of hell - seemed like they were genuinely having a great time on stage.

Games:
Face shooting/AR/Resident Evil/Nintendogs on the 3DS
Bastion - great game, stupid voiceovers
New Earth Defense Force game
MvC 3 (I hadn't played it yet)
Mortal Kombat
Pokemon Black (I'm not allowed to buy it until after we move)
Pokemon Online - VERY well done
Lots of arcade machines


I also played D&D for the first time since middle school (about 20 years or so), Magic for the first time since I was a teacher (about 10 years), and a tried and bought a few new board & card games. I had a great time!

Tried playing Live action D&D but the vampire dude was to scary. The Giant mech suit would have been an awesome upgrade.

Men In Black.

We're the Demo team for Steve Jackson Games, the guys who brought you Munchkin, Zombie Dice, Cthulhu Dice, and other games.

our bosses had a booth in the back of Tabletop (the right side of the building if you walked in by the Bioshock display) where our games were displayed.
