So Friday was spent in Koln at Gamecom. This is supposed to be the largest "international" video gaming convention with something like 49 countries participating. I'm not really sure what the fuck I was thinking...but in usual german fashion the germans managed to dub EVERYTHING into german. Videos, presentations, demonstrations, folders, flyers, etc was ALL FUCKING GERMAN.
Not very international.
Aside from the german, the only other really annoying thing is there was a wait of 40 minutes or more (we saw 4 and 6 hours on some games) to play a fucking video game for only 10-20 minutes. On top of that, most game booths had the demos inside the booth so you couldn't look from over someone's shoulder (there were some who had their games in open air so you could watch). So yea, didn't get to see the new Assasian's Creed, Call of Duty, etc because that was behind closed doors and I'll be damned if I'm waiting up to 6 hours (that was assasians creed) to play for maybe 20 minutes.
But, here's a few photos. I have more, but my SD card reader in the tower here at work apparently has stopped working and I don't have my usb SD card reader with me.
I'm actually surprised they didn't have a Hasslehof dummy sitting in it...
Case mods...
