I went to Izumicon this weekend. It was the first year for this anime con in Oklahoma City and, Overall, it was a decent first year show. The dealers room was smaller than I expected, but made up for quantity with quality. I scored a rare blue version of Captain Harlock's Arcadia. It will look rather nice on display next to my Space Battleship Yamato.

On to the real topic here. There was a video game room and one of our friends wanted to check it out. They were running tournaments and such and since he and I are both avid 2D fighting game players, we were hoping to get in some Guilty Gear, KoF or Street Fighter play. Upon entering the room, the guy at the front desk told us he would need to hold our photo IDs. I asked what games were in the room before giving up my ID. He said they had several FPS and 360 games as well as Halo 2, and I quote, "for the old-school gamers." I could not hide the sour face and eye roll at the mention of Halo 2 as an old-school game. Sorry, but the only old-school games on any MS platform are on anthologies or are KoF or Metal Slug games. We all walked away from the game room mocking the guy. Maybe next year.
