Chili,

 

How long have you known about this? I don't frequent many other boards or I may have seen it, but I could have made it had this been posted earlier then the day it starts. :'(

 

 

[Chili327]

Sorry bud it was on my calendar for the last 3 months ..lol

 

I was out of town for the last week or so, & It popped up as a reminder today (my 1st time turning my PC on since i left town.) so i figured id post it up. (didn't think too many were into LAN gaming.. expecially if it isn't socom ..lol)

 

I'll try to keep you all posted of these kinds of things more in the future. (its what gamelobby is all about )

The Chicago report:

 

Goat bringing it live from Wizards Comic Con 07,  and yea the laptop doesn't have my real UF ID and rather then change the password for it I'm using the old one...

 

Sony is here in force... however no Socom!!! No warhawk!!! and no anything else that drew my attention. oh sure they got these nice carry bags that have socom Tactical Strike pictures on em.. but that's about it.. their big thing "The Eye of Judgement" some card game that uses the sony cam to show video images of the play cards character... now I gotta admit holding a dragon in your hand was sort of cool... but that's about the end of it... if you ask me its a Playstation equivalent of Pokemon cards and another way to get parents to spend their money on crapola for their kids...

 

I did give the new ratchet and clank a go but ehhhh yeaaa whatever... "Lair" is sort of cool but role playing is too much into the game. There was one "Uncharted" which was sort of like a Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, Mix match game... Camera angles kept changing too much but otherwise it's ok.

 

I did get to meet Greg Horn.. who is the artist who did Socom's cover boxes... yea i got a print of Socom III's box with Greg siging it and all.. that was cool..

 

Also I got some great shots of "Da Goat" with Sexy Booth Hoe's hugging on me... too bad I seem to have forgot my digital camera PC cord... 

 

The place Cuz mentioned is right around the corner from me I'm going to go check it out later today... probably after their bar opens... ;^)

 

Peace yo,

Goat.
