Stay Puft: Ghostbusters party at Bourbon and Branch
Tiff | 12:48 PM on 04.10.2008 38 comments




The gaming companies are hitting up the streets left and right in San Francisco this week. With M16 bringing in the first flux of the gaming types, Tuesday kicked off my first gaming event with a sit-in preview of Fallout 3. Amidst the preview I had the pleasure of partaking in some The Wire humor with the very personable N'Gai Croal. I thought it was pretty great.



Last night Sierra Entertainment threw an elaborate Ghostbusters party at the highly esteemed speakeasy Bourbon and Branch. Instead of the bar's typical candlelit atmosphere, the interior was splashed with red light in the main room and green light in the secret library room. With a buffet of ingredients for smores to the right and delectably mixed drinks to the left (Such as the Stay Puft drink with vannilla vodka, chocolate liquor, and marshmallow cream with a graham cracker rim), CTZ, Dyson and I got a wee bit sauced. It was, very fun.



Duty eventually called and I fled the scene, sobered up with a quesadila, and wrote that Fallout 3 preview until 5 in the morning. This leaves me in a present state of delirium having only gotten 4 hours of sleep, but all will be well later when I grab a forty and head to Dolores Park for a sleepy outside viewing of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. In the meantime, enjoy the pictchas!

ceark's Destructoid Blog

ceark's Destructoid Blog
also I imagine hamza was pretty wasted.
SteamyV's Destructoid Blog
For a moment, I thought that book said "I, Sex Greatness..."

Incidentally, that is how I will preface all official statements from here on out.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
Why is San Francisco so far from New York, goddammit?

Also, that photo of Hamza is pretty awesome. And I will have to keep quesadillas in mind as a sobering-up agent.
Azereki's Destructoid Blog
I am so ridiculously jealous. :(
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
Hamza got slimed. I wonder what it tastes like.
Tiff's Destructoid Blog
@MaxVest Woah, you're totally right. If you turn your head to the side and squint your eyes you can see a toothy slimer face in the green light to the right.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Aww, I wish I was there. :( I WUV TEH GHOSTBUSTERS!
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
Goddammit. Somebody give me a job in the games industry and a place to live in California. Dammit. DAMMIT.
Hamza CTZ Aziz's Destructoid Blog
Holy shit Tiff, you're right. That's sooooo creeepppy.
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
Uhhh, I thought that was like an effect at the party. Is that really just a random ghostly image?
Tiff's Destructoid Blog
Yeah. Totally random.

FreeeeEEEEeeaaaakyyyyyyy.
Hamza CTZ Aziz's Destructoid Blog
Max: Yeah dude. Tiff was fucking with the camera effects. The room was lit green. Seriously, what are the fucking odds that it would even look like Slimmer? I'm am seriously creeped out right now.
MechaMonkey's Destructoid Blog
The question is: Is it an omen of good or ill? Only time will tell...
MaxVest's Destructoid Blog
Well, Slimer did help out the Ghostbusters in the sequel, so this is probably a good omen.

Hoygeit's Destructoid Blog
OoooooOOOooooo...
weedgan's Destructoid Blog
Holy Shit! I can see it too!

This is some of that TLC ghost stuff...kreepy.
Tiff's Destructoid Blog
Heh. Also, Slimer is making a Chad face.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
Slimer IS making a Chad face! I just noticed it! Lol.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
@MaxVest, Tiff: WOW. That is some freaky shit.
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
A ghost is haunting Hamza? If only there were a group of individuals you could call in situations like this...
mid3vol's Destructoid Blog
hahaha. i love these pictures ^__^
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
Hamza looks shitfaced. JAWSOME
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
That looks awesome.

Also, what Sharpless said.
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
Except I already live in California. So all you'd really have to do is give me the first wish. And since my wish is simpler I get higher priority over Sharpless.
Knives's Destructoid Blog
Wow, Slimer hasn't aged one bit.
Elitechief27's Destructoid Blog
That is plain creepy
EternalDeathSlayer's Destructoid Blog
Hamza looks fucked up. Looks like fun.
Cowzilla3's Destructoid Blog
Hamza was so wasted he turned the cameras lens green!
Chad Concelmo's Destructoid Blog
I would have done anything to go with you guys! ARGH! :)
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
Look amazing, and... is CTZ a ghost?
Dexter345's Destructoid Blog
I ain't afraid of no ghosts.

The Hamza face is similar to the Chad face, but oh so different at the same time?
SenorCalavera's Destructoid Blog
I want a stay puff drink. Sounds amazing.
Hamza CTZ Aziz's Destructoid Blog
I was going for the CTZ face, ended up as the Chad face. Eh.
GuitarAtomik's Destructoid Blog
I envy the shit out of you. Also, yes. Hamza is a freak.
welkstar's Destructoid Blog
Who-ya-gonna-call?
