Somewhat related... I hope some of you guyz can make PAX East!

you managed to get a ticket? The event is 5 months away, yet it sold out before I heard they even went on sale.

So this was definitely a funtime! AND I'LL POST SOME PICTURES. I took some using a medium-format TLR camera and it'll be a while before I get the developed negatives back and longer still for me to scan/post them. And I've got a video surprise in the pipeline...

But I had a digital camera too! Here are pics I took!
Key-Glyph playing Hang-On
Key-Glyph making the "I'M PLAYING A MOVING SEGA ARCADE GAME" face.
I won a lot of tickets (and have a cool belt buckle).
I have laser-eyes from all those tickets.
Total ticket winnings... before helping Hobie-wan win a glass.
Hobie, posing with tickets!
ALMOST A PROPER GROUP SHOT with Pierrot playing Space Harrier, Key standing behind and Hobie JUST AT THE EDGE OF THE FRAME.
A much more almost proper group shot? I'm missing since I was taking the picture and Key-Glyph's husband is also not pictured!

translating, on-the-fly, the Japanese phrases that come out of the Parodius megaphone -- while not dying.

I don't remember any of this. I must have gone into a trance or something.

I popped Pocket Monster Red Version into my GBA recently and found that it says they 'collapsed' when the pokemon faint, by the way. I don't know about the story translation at all, though. I haven't really played any of the Pokemon games more than once. Might not change anytime soon.

I look so ridiculous in those shots. I was having fun despite what the pictures imply.

I don't remember any of this. I must have gone into a trance or something.

That was when you were playing Parodius and we told you to stop having fun, catch the right color bell, don't die, and tell us what they said. I can't understand why you can't remember us doing that to you.

I don't know. PTSD maybe?

Oh god— I can hear the ringing again! Where are the bells! I can't see them!
