Pixy is Pissed about VGXPO

Hello one and all, this is your old friend Pixy here with some things about VGXPO that Coldguy left out. First the fucking waiting, I mean I can understand 15-20 minutes but for an HOUR AND 45 MINUTES. This is just plain lack of planning on the part of the organizers. There was also no thank you for waiting, or even a special free item for waiting so long, they just wanted to make a line for their damn cameras, what kind of bullshit is that?

Another thing that was clearly missing was the underground game booth, there was this big gaping hole in the middle of the floor that did not have anything in it. Literally there was nothing. If they were smart enough they could have put some tables and chairs there to make it a chill out place, but no these cheap bastards left it bare and expected the people not to notice!

Another thing that grinded me was the bitch at one game, the 1990 NWC was on display and Coldguy wanted to play it. Since every other console game was free he thought he would not have a problem, well he had to pay 5 bucks to play the game ONCE! That’s right he had to sign up for a tournament in order to play the game. What kind of bullshit was that? He did not want to compete for cash, just wanted to play the game and leave.

The retro store there was eh, the titles were diverse enough to interest him, but nothing stood out as a must have. One thing I did notice about the prices was that they ranged from good to shitty. A great example was a players guide to Earthbound, the one that CAME WITH THE GAME. How much would that cost? $10 – $15 maybe? Nope it was $50, and back in the day IT CAME WITH THE FUCKING GAME! Also the condition of some of the items were questionable at best, and if there was not a hookup I could not be sure if they worked.

Also our good pals at gamervision were here. This website is the apex of bullshit! On the surface it is a social network where gamers can come and play games with each other and discuss news related topics. Underneath they are actually taking your information and selling it to various spam site so they THEY CAN SPAM YOU WITH GAME RELATED MATERIAL. Oh the best part is that they do not even hide this fact, it is in the oh so written PRIVACY POLICY. What ever you do DO NOT SIGN UP FOR GAMERVISION!

Also the job fair was a joke, there was only 1 company on Friday JUST ONE. He was nice enough to talk about his company and sell it to those who came only for the job fair, thats right only 2 people. Someone who look a lot like Z (aka Little Ms. Gamer) from PBC productions and Coldguy. However Coldguy deserves this, HOW THE FUCK DID YOU FORGET ABOUT RESUMES! That’s right in all the planning, and money allocation he was doing what escaped him was to bring a resumes, good luck getting in to the company jackass.

Also there was no music for 4 hours. I mean there WAS supposed to be a band that was SUPPOSED to play 8bit music, but THEY NEVER SHOWED UP. So what did we have to entertain us instead? NOTHING! We got nothing but a blond bimbo doing stupid contests for crappy T-shirt giveaways…..those SHOULD have been given out regardless for making people wait AN HOUR AND 45 MINUTES TO ENTER YOUR DAMN EVENT!

I did manage to see my grandpa, he is currently working on a Lunar Lander arcade machine and found a spot in space where it never changes color. He is doing well, making a decent living without doing shit, managed to have grandma right next to him so that they can retire in piece. They wanted me to move in with them but I told them no, simple reason is that if it wasn’t for Coldguy having to go to the bathroom, we would have started an argument about how I am not union. SO……thanks?

What REALLY got me were the pixels in the world largest HDTV. They were all ROOKIES! I mean if they would have passed the independent pixel excellence exam (IPEX) I would have given them the benefit of the doubt. But nooooo these jackasses were slacking off and screwing up even the simplest of commands. It is cocky assholes like this that ruin it for the rest of us, and I went over and stab 4 of them to send a message not to ruin it for veterans like me.

Food given in the place was a joke….$5 for a soft pretzel and $3.50 for a cup of soda ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND! Coldguy went over to Pat’s steaks and got a cheese steak, fries, and a cup of soda cheaper then you were giving out a hamburger! What a total rip off! Also speaking of expensive, parking from 2:45 – 7:30 was……$29.50. HOW THE FUCK CAN PEOPLE CHARGE THIS AMOUNT TO PARK THEIR CAR ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON!

I could go on about some other BULLSHIT, but it appears that Coldguy is waking up so I better close it on a high note. If you are going to go to VGXPO, make sure you have a press pass, that way you could actually get some relevant information and be able to do something, instead of being treated like a dick and walk around the show room aimlessly. That’s all, have a good fucking day!
