I see what you did there. ThinkGeek is cool though, my favorite shirt from them is probably this one. http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/illuminated/991e/

I hover over all my links anyways. But why not use one that has java lol internetisseriousbusiness.com sucks now because it has no java.

^Looks like I just missed you today - I got there a bit late at around 1:30 or so. Did you seriously ask around for me? The Vintage Stock guys said that some kid was looking for someone with my t-shirt!

The show was awesome. Everyone got real excited about my portable SNES. I took my black ZN-40 one, and was asked just about a million times if I was selling them. I wasn't able to finish my new one in time to take with me, but it will be done soon so I'm happy with that. I think the most fun part was discussing things with exhibitors, and handing them my SNESp to play with while talking to them.

I'll be uploading some pictures soon.

You should come to MGC sometime; we repeat customers are genuinely expected to bring a new creation for them to play!

In the case of some vendors, it may even get you a bit of a discount...

This year, the owner of the show played my old Genesis portable and was so impressed, he pulled the Virtual Boy that wasn't on display in the museum out and let me play it because I'd never seen one before. I almost wish I hadn't! *shudders*

Sounds like it was a lot of fun, shame I couldn't go. Then again, it is a long haul to Oklahoma from Michigan. Looking forward to the pics!

It's great walking up to a vendor's table and asking, "Mind if I 'test' some of these games out? Hey, you might want to clean the contacts on this one..."

There was one table set up where two guys had like EVERY SNES RPG ever made. It was amazing, and I am jealous.

For sale, or just to show off? Either way, I would've had to change my pants after that!

Me and my younger brother Sean.

The guys from Game Crazy were apparently pretty excited

Free arcade machines are the best kind:

Testing out some games, trying to decide what to buy:

Getting some two player action going on:
