You look different, my brain just doesn't have enough room left to remember who's who! Aww that's mean I'm sorry ]]> AgeExpo Pictures and Videos! http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=32&threadid=11460 2008-09-13T00:23:22 -05.00 Penguin 41 Originally posted by: burdger

Dain's rarity is in my hands... again.

I'd have settled for just the one picture I took by myself but either burdger or PSerge was all "dude, you want a real picture" and took my camera let me rub both hands all over it. I forget who took the shot, but I think we 3 had just come in from wrecking our lungs or something. Incidentally Dain's rarity smells like an ash tray now, sorry Dain . Actually, I think the first thing I said to Dain when I saw his table was, "yeah right you're selling this."



What's the problem Phil, all us fat guys look alike?  It was me by the way!

People around DreamTR/Sosafan's booths presumably early in the day? Though if that's tallguy sitting there, it's late in the day.

From the look of the far background, this might be just when Tall Guy set up. So around 11:00? He might even be selling his CDi! I think this is when I was shamelessly hanging out to be first in line. I later went for a smoke and wound up among the last 5 in line


It was late in the day, after Dream rented me some table space (and I was too lazy to haul my junk out to the jeep).

I don't think I set up until around noon...  but I could be wrong.


I wish I could remember the names of the two dudes that hung out with me pretty much the entire time I was swap meeting.  They were going to come to the after party but got lost in Knoxville.

Thor Q&A

A bunch of giddy children watching Thor talk.

But I won't lie. I could listen to Thor reminisce until I passed out from ear exhaustion.

Thor again with either Tim (Phins) or his brother, but probably Tim as his brother seemed... less interested.

Left to right: Phins' butt, burdger's shoulder, Nistle, NGD, Dain, Mario's Left Nut.

I hope I spelled the boy's name right, Rob. I hope I'm in the right ballpark of what his name actually is.

Some sealed stuff from Brian's Toys. I'm sure someone else has posted this.

DUCK and other foreign junk on Dain's table.

In case you didn't know, he brought out his Myriad.

How does it feel to be idolized by a bunch of huge dorks anyway, Thor?

Time for Thor

Incidentally, I think this was his worst score of the day. I was trying to get the score itself (not because it was the worst, I had no way of knowing). Because I thought it'd be a good photo. By the time my camera had reset someone else was playing.

MOAR THOR

But this time Phins is playing.

At about the time I took this picture we had a pretty serious conversation about sealed collecting and VGA. Everything was winding down. He asked if I wanted anything and I said no, being the cheap shit I am. He asked if I wanted a pamphlet or whatever, and I said no, because I was familiar with his site. And then we got into it. I'm not against VGA or sealed collecting or anything, by the by. I'm just not interested in it either. Not as a buyer, anyway. As an observer it's good fun

Probably before the deadly discussion. And definitely before the shelves collapsed when they were packing up!

What the Ditka case looked like when I finally got to the front:

I was afraid NGD had sold out. He sneakily didn't put them all in just to work me into a frenzy!

mb##### (whatever I don't know the numbers stfu) is the reason I was scared I wouldn't get one. Shit did I even say one word to you?

Phins (I think) and punch out
http://img387.imageshack.us/img387/5524/dscn0373zj3.jpg
Honestly you and your brother look the exactly same to my jaded old man who hates kids eyes.

It occurs to me now that I should have bought more WLoDs, to use for trade-ins at local shops. I'm sure I could have gotten more than 5$ trade value per game if I spread them out. At the time, I only thought "why would I want more than one". I guess this proves I'll never be a good businessman! (plus I really want to open a game soon to get another huff of delicious 1980's packing materials and I'd feel bad opening my only one). Last NES game I opened was XEXYZ back in ye olde 2001. I'm jonsin' over here.

OK threadjack finished!

Let it also be noted that GringoJB looks nothing like Comic Book Guy either, and in fact my wife specifically cited him as being one of the more put-together guys at the event.

Yikes!   I think that Comic Book Guy is more like my "spirit animal" than anything else!

Well hey, give the wife a big "thanks" from me!  She married a sexy, sexy man, so I am extremely flattered.

Fat guy, skinny guy, who gives a shit? If you're not a douchetard in life, people will see it and your appearance shouldn't matter. Besides, bacon is delicious.
Agreed. I could care less what someone looks like, so long as they're cool and buy me stuff
