Too Many Games’s Last Day Equals Necessary Ease
Today was the last day of Too Many Games, in Oaks, Pennsylvania. I missed Saturday due to other work. However, this Sunday was more accommodating.
The first day, I admit I was nervous. There were so many great guests and the idea of having access to good deals on nostalgic items and games. This was too much too take on for first day, admittedly.
I wanted to avoid spending at all cost. If you get one game, next thing you know, you have 50. This became a subtle temptation, once I focused on the atmosphere.
In general, everyone relaxed this day. I photographed sections of the convention center just to display the mood. This included images of volunteers that enjoyed too many titles. Yogibo, a kind of bean bag furniture, soothed many of the individuals there and prepared them for a summer of video game variety, once the convention truly ended.
The reason for the relaxation in the air was simple; it was the last day. I captured some great costume role-play images.
I spoke to some very interesting individuals including the game designer from Island Officials, Adrian Sandoval. While I did not get an interview, I found out about a strong role-playing game tested and expected for your tablet, computers, and smart devices very soon.
I discovered a fun band that I missed on Saturday, Pyschostick. They are fun, simplified, and captured in metal. Only they magnify importance of a good beard, or beer.
I spoke to someone to get an idea of the essence of the weekend. Keyshawn, a young visitor, summed up Too Many Games.
Keyshawn said, “I think it’s a really fun convention and everything. It’s really interesting here. Everyone is in cosplay outfits and stuff like that. You can have fun, play games, play old-fashioned games. You can compete in tournaments here.” He continued,” I think it’s really interesting here. It’s really fun. “
Fun, in my opinion, has been something off my radar recently. Some Call Me Johnny created a video on the Street Fighter series. I met him today as well. He quickly reviewed Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game in his analysis. He showed us that was fun.
Teenagers and other youth interacting with an Intellivision System established the idea of fun. PkSparxx DatHottness destroyed all opponents in Super Smash Brothers, for the Nintendo Wii U on a high definition screen in the name of fun.
8-Bit Eric talked about wrestling, life in San Antonio, and his life as a YouTube personality, without care as he endorsed fun. It is the start of the summer. Too Many Games allowed us to feel video games are as important for summer relaxation and our past, present and future. I got Mortal Kombat 2, for the Super Nintendo, in the summer. I conquered Shenmue, on Sega Dreamcast, in the summer.
It was hot outside. Just jump inside. Turn on a fan, or decrease the temperature of the air conditioner. Just for a short, playful, stint.
