- AWESOME, GC 2007, Insanity
Time for part 2. Here’s a teaser:
Lara was there…
… and so was Big Daddy
Well, I wish I had enough HPs to endure more than the approximately 2 hours I managed to spend at the consumer exhibition of GC. The place was ridiculously big, but I spent most of my 2 days in the business area where me and our Art Director Niklas were desperately trying to get some meetings with all o’ them publisher peoplez. It was hard, but we did get a few. The business area is of course huge but only about a fifth of the entire place. Not only is it smaller but a lot calmer than the consumer halls, because all business goes down behind closed doors, inside the booths.
Here we are making an early morning effort to set up our corner of the Nordic Game booth.
Smoking and consumption of alcoholic beverages is allowed at the site - as you might already have read on Kotaku - which really inspires me to go there with a bunch of homies to smoke, drink, play video games and hit on booth babes. Now that I’ve put it writing it sounds even better, so I’ll just go ahead and suggest that we the BombTruck crew do exactly that next year. Preferably as press.
Okay, so I didn’t actually play a lot of games. Because the whole thing just seems meaningless after a while. The place is extremely desensitizing, almost to the point of apathy. I don’t understand how those nerds persevere. I mean when you get your hands on a sweet game, you normally want to crawl back into a secluded hole in a familiar part of your natural habitat and slowly sink your teeth into it, right? You don’t want to stress through a 10 minute game session and have some fucker stare you in the neck and then have to wait in line for another hour just to repeat the same procedure. I guess what I’m trying to say is that there is no real possibility to savor any special moment. I suppose It’s kind of like getting a blowjob from a hot chick while wrestling with a facehugger. Besides, there’s also a LOT of people and a LOT of noise which really just sucks the energy right out of your soul. However, I did manage to play some Devil May Cry 4, some Sacred 2 and a little Timeshift. I also saw the Maffia 2 trailer in German and saw Niklas try to play Age of Conan.
After the first tiresome day, Nordic Game had a little afterwork party at a small night club in Leipzig. It was awesome. Free booze, cute bartender girls and a contemporary dance performance by some dude and his fairly hot chick. That’s what I’m talking about!
At 0300 hours we were back at the hotel, drunk as hell. At 0600 it was time for day 2 at GC. Reeking of old booze we put our game face on and hit the halls.

Sweet dude! Seems like you had a good time! =) But one thing though… Big Daddy strikes a pose at Webhallens city store in Stockholm. And to be totally honest, I would crap my pants and call out to mommy if he came chasing after me!

“I suppose It’s kind of like getting a blowjob from a hot chick while wrestling with a facehugger.” I literally lol’d. It’s an intriguing comparison. I would rather get a blowjob with a fucker staring me in the neck to be completely honest. Those facehuggers are icky.
You didn’t by any chance catch a glimps of Age of Conan by the way? *hyping away*

Hahaah meh lol’s.
And that’s a great thought to, going to a gameshow as ‘Press’. I wonder what constitues press and how we become it if there is lackage.
Great show sir, most awesome!

Awesome post. ;D Gotta do some researching in “gettin ‘em press-cards” till next year. Btw, that dancin’ chick’s really got BIG feet…and the same goes for that Laura, still I’d hit it.
Mr AFK writes
Perhaps a categorization is in place too?
Henke writes
That’s one stone cold coyote! The contemporary dancing looks wild with the fire and the stick and the sparkly outfit.
The Mad Hatter writes
Who is the wannabe with the spectacles?
Johnny Roecker writes

The Mad Hatter writes
I would punish her in natura for abusing the Metal-sign while looking like a corporate wench rather than a rocker.
Mr AFK writes
is there anything more punk than looking like a corporate wench metal-signing the ass out of ya all rock-bitches!??
The Mad Hatter writes
Yes.
Mr AFK writes
I can’t think of anything, maybe tall cat looking corp metal signing a rock bitch at most.
MacTwiste writes
Well, she was neither a corporate wench nor a cool metal master like yourself Hatter. In fact she was just a bartender girl, and a very kind and sweet one at that. The reason for her throwing the horns up is because I asked her to. The funny thing is that this poor girl didn’t even know what the horns mean and probably threw them up just to get rid of my drunken demanding ass.
