This photo does not do justice to the enormity of the main floor.
Tons of costumes came out after lunch.
I guess it takes a while to get ready.
Every Mega Man villain on one poster.
Stargate made out of legos
A huge game library where you could check out the games and give them a test drive.
Mikeatron
My brother went to high school with Mike.
He had a table in Artists Alley.
You can check out his art on his tumblr.

These guys are so positive.
It's infectious.

The Newsroom
from Aaron Sorkin
I still quote West Wing on a daily basis.
There is a twitter feed just devoted to his dialogue
Emily Gordon (Gynomite) on Gaming Rage
My whole life, I have always been the even-tempered voice of reason. As a kid, I was the family peacemaker, negotiating arguments between my mom and my sister. I was a peer mediator in high school, where my combat-booted self refereed conflicts between cheerleaders, and followed that up with a degree in psychology and a masters degree in counseling. It’s not that I don’t get angry or shy away from conflict- I just have an enormous well of patience for people’s problems. Diplomacy, it would seem, is in my DNA.
Which is one of many reasons why I love playing video games.
In life, I juggle the needs and egos of several bosses, I am the shoulder that my friends cry on, and I am always the one to keep my cool in high-pressure situations. In video games, I am a hurricane-like force of chaotic murderous action. There is no dealing with me, there is no reasoning with me- in video games, there is only you getting out of my way.
