The Tokyo Game Show post aka I'm Better Than You

[Kinoko]

Who went to TGS this year?

Anyone?

On the very secret and exclusive press days?

Hmm?


Hmm. Only ME, then.

I went with pet monkey, Patrick Alexander (some of you may know him as the creator of Raymondo Person and Chu-chi, others may remember the time he insulted their grandmothers and broke beer bottles over their cats' heads), who was there on official MYSTERY PROJECT business (it's extremely interesting, and you'll all have to wait another week before you know what I'm talking about).

We sat in the very exclusive Namco Bandai booth which was cordoned off because we were special and everyone else might have infected us with their Normal. I got to see some interesting trailers for some games I cared about, and others that I wouldn't piss on had they suddenly been engulfed in flames. I met a VERY nice man who worked there and he told me secrets.

Mysterious secret secrets about the industry.

We checked out some of the other company booths but mostly they were crap. I did play the Ninja Gaiden DS demo and received an EXCLUSIVE UNIQUE poster for my trouble.

However, for the most part, it was tedious commercial crap that you will hear about a thousand times from the hundreds of biased game news media that spent their time frantically covering it. We spent our time checking out the student games for the most part, and that was really interesting. I wish I could show you guys some of the games... well, perhaps I can later as we got CDs containing many of them. Anyway, this is for the future. Calm down. Go have a beer. Relax.

For now, here are some photos.













There, wasn't that fun?

TGS was awesome. I didn't see you there though. haha

Sadly I didn't have a camera, my parents took it when they went on vacation to new york. Psshhh, my luck.

Damn, I loved the cosplay though! ^_^ Next year I need to cosplay at Anime Expo, Comicon, and TGS.

[Ghost]

A room full of dancing cardboard doggie things? Whee! Must've been fun.

I'm only going to Kaiser Karl's Feast this month, meaning a crossroads where there's some beer-barrel-bowling. Isn't autumn in Germany fun? 

[Kinoko]

Radiant: Yes, well TGS was in my own country so no international flights involved. Hold Mittens in Japan next year! Then me and Vince can come!

Nik: Aww, thanks ^_^ Yes, it's muuuuch better.

I'd like to reply with something like "Make next Mittens in the uk, and I'm sure to come", but shit, we have Brittens each year and I've never been there hehe...

Still the chance to meet Kinoko, Vince, and now Brad seems extra nice So... go ahead, make it happen (and I won't come, but anyways... :p)

Oh, if there's a Jittens some time I'd be sure to come! I've been meaning to go to Japan for ages.

Don't forget Luke aka Space Pirate Cain!

Pics look like fun Kinoko.  I would love to have come, but Tokyo is so far away from my beautiful little island!

[Kinoko]

Yeah, does suck about that :/

We shall meet someday, Vince! Then our secret love can be realised on a gray beach somewhere!
