SGC 09: Stuff, things, happening, yes photo

I'm here in bloody hot Dallas where the sun is shining and the aroma of geeky nerds clings to the walls of the Westin Hotel like Tupac fans cling to the notion that he is still alive. It's day one of the ScrewAttack Gaming Convention and already I saw Stuttering Craig walk past me. I think he pretended not to notice me, but I will find him again and make him give me a job as their new Yahtzee. I think it's Yahtzee that does ScrewAttack, right?

Here are some photos from early on today, giving you a brief idea of what things looked like before all the fourteen-year-olds registered and filled the place up with their curly hair and the undeniable stink of wet dreams. There'll be plenty of fun to come from SCG, including our shakily recorded footage of a bit of the cartridge-blowing competition and a photograph of me with a very special celebrity.

Stuttering Craig is a busy guy, with this being his first gaming convention and all (Iron man of gaming doesn't count). I'm sure he'll acknowledge you later.

QFE.
But what Jim's NOT telling you is most of that aroma is coming from him.

nah, just kidding Jim, it was great hanging out with you.
All they need is proper ventilation. You can't shove a bunch of arcade machines in a 20x20ft room without fans or vents and not expect "gamer stink" to hit you in the face like a fucking baseball bat.

Not quite as big as they're making it out to be, but still looks cool.
Jim, Ghostbusters can get laid almost instantly, so why is it a surprise when one makes his move?
