# I went to this on Sunday.Guest 2006-09-18 05:25
It was pretty lame. Grand Ballroom in the Aladdin, the smallest convention room I've ever been to. Mostly unimpressive with lots of self-gratifying, self-serving types trying to be tough and cool to make up for their ever-present screaming virginity. I played Halo 2 for several hours and sat around getting my eardrums blown out by douchebag announcers.
