My past few days have been too freaking awesome
It's a great break from my usual routine, which is usually just work and come home. I wish it was like this more often. I've been with some of the folks at Capcom (all cool guys except for one who has a short temper) and I've been playing tons of games especially yesterday and today at the NY Comic Con.
There were
tons of booths with
tons of cool stuff practically everywhere. Lots of hots babes everywhere too
, I took my picture with some of them, including with a Cammy and Chun Li cosplayers for IGN
. There were so many souvenirs it's not funny. Enough to drive many collectors broke! Marvel was the only booth I know of to give somewhat expensive items away for free to random people. This too was funny and the Marvel rep practically controls the fan like puppets by telling them what to do to get the item.
I played Dead Rising 2, Ghost Trick, Resident Evil 5 Gold (PS3 move), Marvel vs Capcom 3, and Mega Man Universe (both XBox 360 & PS3 versions). I must have played MMU today for about 2 hours straight as I had the PS3 booth to myself for that time period and every now and then someone came to the Xbox 360 booth and played MMU. This gave me a chance to play as each character and beat the 3 playable stages. I turned up the game's volume to full blast. The music is stuck in my head now.
Some people were even dancing to it.
After a while many MM fans came to try it out and we chatted to the point where
MANY thought I worked for Capcom because every question the had I knew the answer to and I hung around there the most (Damn it Capcom give me the job, people loved me there
).
Inafune was
right next to me (not even 2 feet away) doing signatures but I didn't get one today because I didn't want to leave the MMU booth since no one else was playing it
They were too busy getting on line to get his signature. One of them was dressed with a giant Servbot head and took a picture with him. Inafune couldn't hold his laughter. That was priceless.
I went over to Nintendo's booth and played Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii, which looks fantastic and plays just as well. The 2 player co-op is very nice! I played with some people and we had fun.
I met the producer of MvC3 and took a pic with him. Great man and very down to Earth. The Marvel booth was not to far. But the crowd there was too much. Stan Lee was there today. I would to have like to meet him, but the crowd went nuts when the saw him and ran like an angry mob over there, so I said forget it.
I'm going again tomorrow but probably just to get a signature and picture with Inafune. He gives you either a MMU or Legends 3 poster.
If any of you were there you would not want to leave, despite being tired and hungry
