VGMari \| 1:09 PM on 01.21.2009	13 comments

Days late, but here it is! My picture blog covering Otronicon in Orlando this past weekend. The con was pretty chill and there were some really cool things such as the Apple museum and retro arcade. Check it out!

You didn't use the word "weeaboo" nearly enough in your profile.

Wow, seeing those old ass Macs brings me back to middle school, when I first encountered a mouse (mind-blowing at the time). Odell Down Under 4 lyfe.

Well...not really. It was just the only Mac game I could think of, but you get my point.

Wish I could have been there. Sounds like fun!

Sam Spectre

Jealous. Looks like you guys had a blast!

Curse you Mari and your constant adventures...

:D

Good stuff.

The pictures are a little Diddy-lacking

My adventures of finding Disgaea 1 and 2 are much better than yours. I'm not trying to cover up my insane jealously and broken heart at all. Excuse me.. *baws*

The GHost

That's not Niero. Everyone knows that he's only 5 feet high, hairy, doesn't speak english and wears a robot helmet.

GAWD. YOU'D THINK THAT SOME JOURNALISM WOULD BE IN EFFECT AROUND HERE.

Also, for some reason it looks to me like those kids are going to get sucked into that TV...

Technophile

every time I see you've hung out with Colette and Niero makes me a little bit more jealous of you.

the con looks like the funnest thing ever though.

I love Japanese video games and most of all my favorite games are Japanese. I grew up on Sonic and Sega and idolize Segata Sanshiro and recognize his epic greatness.
