Another great year at MGC, as always, nice catching up with everyone while drinking copious amounts of beer and gaming. Awesome work by everyone in the NA room, all of the homebrews were great, the bean bag game was a ton of fun! Probably played more arcades and pinball this year than the previous 6 years combined. Came home with a few things, the highlight being a new bartop MAME cabinet loaded with 645 games.

Another Year in the books. My apologies if you received a plethora of headbutts on Friday night, I don't remember going to bed.....
A big thanks to KevBot for saving my ass Saturday Morning in the Vendor Tent. & for buying my black Sega Display Case.

Highlights for me Seeing everyone again.
MGC Highlights. Meeting Johnny Cage (Daniel Pesina), Young Shang Tsung (Phillip Ahn) & General Chaos Creater Brian Colin.
I brought my copy of MK1 from home to get signed by Mr. Pesina, I was able to find a copy of General Chaos (I forgot he was coming) and MK2 in the Vendor Tent to get signed as well.
Mr. Pesina commented that he really liked the pen I gave him to sign my copy of MK1 with, so I told him he could keep it, as I only brought it for that reason. He said hang on I have a gift for you then, and he pulled out 10 Mortal Kombat Trading Cards from his stash, all signed by his brother Carlos Pesina I picked the one of him fighting Johnny Cage, and Mr. Pesina said hey I can sign that too, then you have both of our signatures on it. (Really cool guy)
I bought that General Chaos Statue from Mr. Colin and he through in the poster for free and signed that and my game.
I picked up a few things for the collection.

It was nice meeting you and the rest of the guys as well! I like the Wizard poster, do you remember which vendor you got that from? That'd be sweet to have in the game room

I picked up NES, SNES, GB and Saturn stuff this year at the convention. I was surprised at how many uncommon/rare NES games in particular I saw at the convention this year. 3 copies of Little Samson, 4 or 5 Panic Restaurants and so on. Good times and the weather was great on Saturday for it!

They didn't put it out until Sunday Morning and I grabbed it before the tent opened to the public.

I thought you might have challenged someone to a headbutting contest. Winner gets the poster.

That poster is pretty cool. I'd accept that challenge if that's the prize

I got to hold/model the Nintendo Playstation.

Still going thru my photos but I'll post the NA centric ones here. Mostly of Tailgate Party (which was super fun) and the beer tub.

Where was the Nintendo Playstation? I heard people asking where to find it, but no one seemed to really know where it was.
