RetroGameCon 6

So my town plays host to a convention called RetroGameCon. If the title isn't screamingly obvious, it's a convention surrounding old school gaming, and literally everything surrounding it. The games, the creators, voice actors, gamer culture, and thousands of random knick knacks and artwork hanging off the side.

It's my childhood packed into a convention center. This is the third year I've gone, and it's...

Ok, you really can't add more to retro. There isn't more new old stuff... at least not always. I met a game developer that was still making games for the Colecovision. A 36 year old console is still getting brand new games published. This guy has, so far, published more games for this old thing than Coleco Industries ever did.

Besides looking at some very old hardware and the uncalled for price tags on them (maybe if it was mint), meeting game developers and talking with them about what they're working on is always fun. They're exactly my flavor of nerd, and they're really into what they do. I'm not a programmer by any stretch, but I know what works in these things.

Also I won a raffle and got free stuff, so yay.
