Tokyo Game Show 2010


I guess in theory this should have been fun.  It is the expo where all the big game makers show what's new and what is in the pipeline and you can get a chance to demo the latest games.  But, the reality (and I'm not talking virtual) was lots of people, lots of noise, incredibly long lines and not much excitement.  But then again, it is not my cup to tea to put it mildly.
Nick called this character "Puss in Metal Boots"

Lights, Action, NOISE!

One of the working girls-geeks heaven as I said
I'm not sure if they were working or visitors

Thought of the Whitneys with Old School Pac-Man


The boys got to each play a minor game and then even they were begging to go home.  Please note that Nick and Jack declined to be in any photos as they thought the whole concept a little to "un-cool".  



The people who seemed to have the best time were the cos-play kids who dress as their favorite manga, anime or game character and mug incessantly for each other and others.
not sure the names of their characters
Cos-play kids




I guess we will just stick with the arcades for now.
