So...now that it's been about a month... what did the people who went to Game Unicon think of the whole thing?

I know BK was there vending, and whoever fixed my forum account was there too...so...thoughts?

I was the one of the people from baku who went to Game Unicon helping out BK comics, I didn't find that it was run well, or run all that poorly either. There was almost no security and i never ever got stopped for not wearing a badge ever even at 3am and 4am

I hated that the game rooms were 24 hours. I think that it was just a bad idea, and I think infuriated most of the vendors because we were stuck in there guarding our stuff.

As far as gaming cons went it was really boring, I didn't see anything that I couldn't play with my friends at home, there were no cool import games (besides the inital D machine), nothing diffrent or unique, it was a con for the steriotypical not for anime style gamers.

Personally i just expected more out of it, but it did have some cool sounding tournys and i got my ass kicked at blazblue so i can't complain.
