Phat loot.

So today I went down to the Games Convention Asia thing over at Suntec. It was alright, though honestly there was nothing much in terms of seeing games to look forward to. Well, maybe Crysis, but the booth was so crowded I didn’t get to play at all. (And the dudes closing the booth wouldn’t let me take the cd with the beta they were showing on it. :\ )

In any case, I got alot of free stuff. First, I got a free City of Heroes poster for registering with the con (though all I really gave them was my name, occupation, and possibly my email, I really don’t remember). Next, I got a jumbo version of the Guild Wars: Factions retail box and a City of Villains poster for registering with some gamers’ association (oh and a kitkat bar, too :D). The jumbo box was too big for my ol’ bag, even when folded, so I was carrying it around like an idiot for awhile, until I got to the Razer booth. There, after playing — more like, getting slaughtered by “Rocketboy” at Quake 3, I got a goodie bag for playing. Blah blah blah, no one really cares, I mean, I don’t either. Here, have some pics.

Pretty much the same thing, but I pulled out the white stuff around the Guild Wars standee.

Notes:

City of Heroes/Villains: Online game where you play as a hero or villain of your own creation.
Guild Wars: Online game about… well, it’s a fantasy genre game. You figure it out. Factions is an expansion for the series.
Rocketboy: Some gamer from China who beat Fatal1ty at a game of Doom 3 and won $125k USD. A “professional” gamer.
Quake 3: First person shooter. Old. Twitch shooter.
Doom 3: Another FPS. Newer than Quake 3. I honestly didn’t think that many people liked it. *shrugs*

Oh oh oh. I also ate pho for dinner. It was awesome. But I’m still hungry D:

(The only thing I paid for today was: transportation, food/drinks. Yay.)
