TGS post #4: best photos (?)
I haven't been... LiveJournal-ing much lately. Sorry. I sort of just forgot that I can.
ANYWAY. Because no-one cared to begin with, and less care now, here is another entry about the Tokyo Game Show! Last one, though. At this point, I'm obviously not going to complete this little series the exact way I'd intended -- but it would have been boring, probably, so who cares. NOT YOU, as we've established.
Instead, I'm going to wrap things up with a handful of photos -- the best ones, with just a sprinkling of commentary. It will be DELIGHTFUL. Here's the first:

Pretty self-explanatory.
Here is the saddest thing I ever did see:

It's a taiko game without any sticks! You can't play it!
Why's it there? It's part of a display for the mobile phone version.

I don't know why Wacom had a booth at the Tokyo Game Show, but they did, and I finally got to try a Cintiq. If you buy me one, I will marry you immediately.
At Hudson's big thingy, they had a van covered in stickers with everyone's Bomberman drawings:



This next photo must be my favourite from the whole show:

The Lone Weeaboo
This guy was just too perfect. The mum haircut; the bland features; the puffy physique, tucked neatly into the casual shirt and trousers. And the backpack and the laptop and the oh no the notebook. He's got his important little notes that he's written down about the very important videogames, and he's typing them into his important little website... Ohhhhh. And he's all by himself.
He's just... RGH! He's perfect. He is videogame journalism.
This is the highscore screen for a student game about cockfighting:

Did you know they have student games at TGS? I never knew. I was gonna do a whole entry about them -- I spent most of the weekend at the student booths, honestly.
And finally, REQUISITE PHOTO OF DEAD OR ALIVE HUG PILLOWS AT THE TECMO SHOP!

Seriously, as far as I could tell, it's all they were selling.
Okay, BAM! Done! Tokyo Game Show report OVER. I am the fastest blogger in the world.
NEXT ENTRY: Who knows, man. I AM A FREE SPIRIT. Nicholas Cage could never play me in a movie about me because I CANNOT BE CAGED. Also he is an uncharismatic creep and would be too old anyway, surely.
