Highlights of the evening included (but were not limited to). . . Chatting it up with Brian Eckberg over the course of the evening. My wife and I probably spent more than an hour discussing everything from games to the difficulties of writing about technical specifications that have no bearing on our core interests. We celebrate with Brian in being able to now write about something he loves. Chilling with Jeff and Alex until Ryan Davis said show was on. The track suits were fly and the discussion off the cuff. Bomberman: Act Zero. I was disappointed Jeff and I couldn't play multiplayer, but we've got plans. The game is really an aberration of the great Bomberman legacy. Who would have thought of taking imprisoned cyborgs, giving them explosives, and dropping them into an industrial facility to blow one another to pieces? Lost Planet Multiplayer Demo with a few friends. Eight people on eight 360s shooting each other in the snow. That was a great game, with a somewhat daunting control scheme, to play. I was in first a couple of times, but I took my losses with everyone else. I'm looking forward to seeing it next year. Perhaps I may even purchase it. . . who knows. Winning VIP. The only thing I can possibly attribute that one to was the fact the other competitors in the lead did not come up to the stage. Caro was beside herself as to whether or not to come up. I tried to get her to come up. My wife was encouraging her. Thanks to everyone who voted for me. Caro, I voted for you. Shirts, shirts, shirts. I think I have a new wardrobe. With all of the After Hours shirts we got, and the other wearables I received, I can now probably wear a different shirt every day of the work week. The GS Staff hooked me up with some Guitar Hero II pins. I'll gladly share them with the Union, I'm just going to have to find a good way of doing that. I'll provide more later. Hopefully within the next couple of days I can upload some video blogs about After Hours.
