I receieved free tickets to go to Dew Tour 2007 (I know someone who works there.) The Dew Tour is basically an extreme sports-themed event with mounds of free stuff and giveaways.

My first stop was the House of Dew, a house devoted entirely to Mountain Dew (I was in heaven.) Upstairs were skateboarding games, which was a pity considering I really don't like that type of game too much, probably because I'm not good at it.

Later, I put a penny into one of those machines that imprints a design on the coin. I chose a SKATE one. I also won a free DVD player, one of the three that were being given away (lucky me.) There was also a band behind the House of Dew which was ridiculously awful (ugh.)

The Dew Tour had many sponsors, such as MAD Magazine and Sony. Because of these two, I received a free MAD on my way in (I read that sort of thing, just so you know.)

There was a large area devoted to all things PlayStation as well. There were many PS3s and PSPs, and a few PS2s, most of which had either a baseballl game in them, but one had God of War II in it. The PSPs had Daxter, Symphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, Ratchet and Clank:Size Matters, and several others I'm not familiar with. I'm not particularly fond of PSPs because I don't like the controls. The PS3s had Gran Turismo HD, Motorstorm, Tony Hawk's Project 8 (of course), Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and Resistance: Fall of Man. I played NGS and Resistance. I have never played a PS3 before since I don't know anybody who owns one and the places where I can find one set up have a sports game in them. Resistance and Ninja Gaiden are fantastic games, but I already knew this for NG, since I played it on the Xbox at a friend's. I was only able to finish the first level of NGS, considering it was a demo. Resistance was the full game and I played quite a bit of it. I didn't realy like the TVs the games were on, because it all looked so darn shiny and, because of this, not that good in my opinion. Maybe it was because of the shininess and because it made the flaws stand out more. Oh well.

But anyway, I had a pretty good time. I got to play a PS3, watch the final event of the day, and walked home with a free MAD magazine and a DVD player along with other assorted things I wasn't too fond of.
