who are the staff working at the pandora booth?
Well... he's a nice guy, he composed the most favourite music of my childhood (Turrican 2
) and he likes the Pandora (and also took a picture of it a few days ago).I HAD to give him a shirt
He's back tomorrow for more live music on stage, right beside our booth

This looks like such a great show. How come all the great nerd shoes are in other countries?

I will upload a video of the pandora booth at gamescom when I get back home. The retro area in gamescom has more life to it. I went walkabout today but ill be damned if i could queue for a few hours just to try some new games. I will help ed out again tomorrow.Its the last day and I dont leave till monday.All the guys from the community helping ed out are good guys.
Great show guys. I'm glad to see such a strong showing of the Pandora, and classic games in general. We just had the classic gaming expo here in vegas last week, but it was nothing like GamesCom appears to be. Keep the pics and vids coming, they are greatly appreciate by those of us who couldn't make the journey.

I must agree with mr swat german women are very beautiful.as shown in his cunningly taken pictures purporting to be about gamescom coverage. Some of the girls cosplay costumes leave very little to my admittedly fertile imagination.skyrim warrior girl? She had me at hello.

Careful with that. Most of the pictures here are just of the small retro area. It's lovely, true, but it's just a small heaven within that big and annoying thing that the Gamescom is now. I would not say the Gamescom at the moment is worth a visit, except you like to spent 2-3 hours in a queue to see 15 minutes of a certain game. This is sick. I went past the booth for Assassins Creed 3 and the queue was already at the "300 minutes from here" spot. And it was only thursday. This is ridiculous and I really wonder why people do this. Why waiting 5 hours to see a mediocre game when you have a fully blown 80s Arcade right around the corner in the Retro-Section, that does not even cost a dime to play?
A well. I wish they have a bigger retro-corner and redesign the rest of the fair. Where was I...a right: Don't get fooled by Linux-Swat's pictures. They make you think the whole gamescom is a huge heaven, filled with old computers and young girls. No. It's a dream and it stays a dream Let's start the collection:
Besides ED there are WrathofKhan, Linux-SWAT and Askarus for the whole week (or most of it at least). I was there on Thursday and I have to apologize because I already forgot the nicknames of the other nice guys
Help me out!

Totally agree with that.
I don't want to leave our retro heaven
.It's great here.
Here my favourite sentence from a visitor:
"Oh, boring, it's just a mini PC. Let's go on"
For the girls:
We found out that Spyro attracts them.
They're always screaming: "Oh. Spyro. It's Spyro"

In Leipzig at the old Games Convention I never had to wait longer then 10 minutes. I'm also sure, even at the gigantic E3 you don't have to wait hours to see a game. Somehow the GamesCom does something pretty wrong.Careful with that. Most of the pictures here are just of the small retro area.

However, people told me, that you don't have to wait at least at the Diablo 3 stand, it's pretty empty there over the whole Convention. :rolleyes:
Ah, so to get the girls, I just have to disguise as Spyro? Good to know. :lol:For the girls:

Indeed, our retro corner is probably the nicest place here.
We see people coming back, spending hours, smiling while playing.
As the gaming is now an industry (like music), many big boothes are just boring and it seems that the giveaways are a bit ridiculous.
I noticed that germans likes tatoos. I never seen that many tatooed girls and boys. And also that ear thing that makes a hole in it.

Also, about gaming girls i totally forgot the Amstrad.
I was a bit sad when we left today, because we only have one last day.
It's nice to have met together and discovered our true faces.
There's also two members of ED's family who are helping.
Hopefully they are not as evil as him.

Last batch.
Today we showed a bit more accessories, including DVB dongle, usb-rj45, usb-rs232, etc.. It's always fun to see the faces of the people who realizes the awesomeness of the OP.
Those ones get free t-shirts .
Maybe tomorrow we can make some VOIP demo.
Mmm... or maybe i'll grab the Spyro .iso and make some private presentations...
