Actually, I’m just being dramatic. Game|Life’s Kohler was on the other side of the Attack of the Show discussion I just recorded regarding E for All, but we didn't fight. We just butted heads a little on how we thought the expo went.
Honestly, I agree with a lot of the stuff he said: the show was a little too expensive, there could have been way more to play, and trying to compete with PAX next year (E for All 2008 will be the same weekend as next year’s Seattle-based show) is a very bad decision.
But gosh darnit I had so much fun at the show last week and I know there must be people out there that agree with me. Could it have been cheaper? Yeah. Could there have been more stuff to do? Totally. But it was the show’s first attempt and they really should be commended for trying something that keeps the general public in the spotlight. Besides, I got to hang out with some amazing people and I had FUN! Doesn’t that count for something?
Anyway, you can watch how well I defended Chris’s Shoryukens above. I hope I did okay … if not, be gentle.

That guy was a hog though...
Yeah, the video seems to be running really slow and is taking forever to load. You might want to try back later. Sorry, everyone. :(
Actually, I think it is the fires, I just made some phone calls. Damn you, FIRES! *shaking fist in air*
Damn you, FIRES!
HA HA HA HA! Since G4 must have burned to the ground, I think this post should now be dedicated to just cursing the fires.
And I didn't know that E for All next year was going to be on the same weekend as PAX! That is a HUGE error, if you ask me...
I'm don there in Tijuana =D.
Anyway... DAMN YOU FIRES!!!
OMG! HA HA HA HA! Take that, fires! Dude, that is seriously amazing.
... wait, did the embed work for you, then?
I am totally coming to PAX next year. This year I was too busy reading to blind orphans and petting diabetic puppies to make it. :)
Now, maybe I'll get this video to work sometime before I die...
DAMN FIRES!
*sigh*
Fire fighters better kick some ass. We need the power of the medics!
"Chad is adorable."
Trufax
Yeah, there were/are some fires but nothing as big as on your side. And thankfully not on very populated areas.
Still a lot of people from over here (my self included) have family on the US or some other work over there, so one way or the other we are also affected.
@Chad
You looked more secure this time, you're getting the hang of it =)
But Chris Kohler is the about most thoughtful, insightful game blogger I read, and I read a lot of game blogs.
Well played Chad and Chris, I just love that guys like you are getting on TV to talk seriously about games and gaming related shit.
Also I am in NZ, but still DAMN FIRES!!!
Good show Chad, next ep will be just Chad vs. Chad! FIGHT TEH POWAH!
Sorry, I just really like the guy. If anything, he's a good writer.
E for All was a ton of fun, but I completely agree that what I got out of the show really wasn't worth traveling all the way from Atlantic Canada. By lunchtime on Friday I pretty much started to get bored. I still hung around I had fun, but it wasn't the OMFG fun that I was expecting. Thankfully I stayed a whole week and did a lot of other stuff so the trip was completely worth it. If I just went to E for All I probably would have regretted the trip.
BTW, I saw you guys several times and wanted to say hi, but I didn't really know what anybody looks like. I know your voices (Retroforce Go ftw!), but there'd be that awkward moment of "Okay, who is who?". :p
