I imagine the days often the question: Why was fun to stand for 4 days in the belly, the feet and in miles of Mount Everest wander down surrounded by the worst nerds from all over Germany?
prelude
The journey to Cologne was not only long but also expensive. And you should have seen my eyes when I-4 weeks 4-5 star hotel holiday in Canada stand-in, before this tiny bed hostel, and realized that I must purchase it themselves. All this was all worth it but even when I met two sisters from Budimon.de Mitnerds and forums in the city center. Together desecrated we the crypt of the Cologne Cathedral with our confessions whom we have already written an email went drunk, euphoric into the first game stop, we were on the road through the town and killed a nasty wasp. After these adventures, we were all still stay with Candy, the fed us, not just literally mothered and you enjoyed the delicious homemade pizza to a bad film in the German private television.
Why I even went back to the hostel is still unclear to me (probably because of Huan, the attractive Hong Kong / London, who took me for a British woman). In any case, I went after 3 hours of sleep and chill 10 hours waiting time in the morning going on far too early to finally do something.
Many games, even more people
the first idea of how big the area was fair I got because I was forced to go around it, at the north (main) to get input. There I waited in the shadow of my beautiful friends and after a brief meet and greet with the Game One team took it even going to the fair. It had quite a few people, at least I had the impression. The halls were huge and actually everything was there, what to my long list preparation standing (13 + 31 games company name). That it would but this day next Sunday still have the fewest people, but we had already expected, but not to the extent that if you compare everything to Saturday. Saturday were filled the spacious corridors suddenly, waiting times were up to 3-4 hours, no longer a rarity - only the women's toilets were still empty.
women Nerds
In general I think that this is a good point, why I loved it. In fact, if breasts and which brings to GamesCom is not only from the fair Boys (yes, that's also) treated very courteously. It is also called quickly to the stage, or sometimes admitted in line. Maybe you will not be overly respected as a gamer, but do not interfere if one of the fact that a truly all who fear not afraid to stare at her breasts, one has at the GamesCom as a woman a lot of fun.
Why not the same even the grandpa and grandma?
But I think not everyone does this hype with you. On Saturday it was even me a little bit too much and I was one of the most unbeschäftigsten people who were ever present. GamesCom contrast to a small child or even a stroller with to haul I think not only extremely irresponsible, but for truly stupid. First, the child has nothing about it, unless you can while queuing in line for napping. But wait! For second, it was in the halls too noisy! Third, I have to tell children? Shit idea. If we had clarified that.
4 days at the senseless Games Fair
Well, it was loud in the halls, even the outdoor area was not polluted unoft acoustically with techno music and the food was absolutely miserable and much too expensive even by Swiss standards. But who needs food. Or hearing, which clears up by itself yes, it's too loud, you can hear it even with tinnitus. What I did on the four days GamesCom?
I got insight into interesting projects, of which I've only heard (Star Wars: The Old Republic, Mass Effect 2, God of War III, Halo: ODST), in projects of which I have found that they interest me or even still not be convinced (EyePet, Singstar, Lips, Dance Dance Revolution) and I was disappointed even some presentations eagerly awaited title (Heavy Rain, Bioshock 2, Borderlands, Mass Effect 2) *.
As highlights I can mention not only my first class support (which I remained true even after the arrival of my Swiss left-brigade and vice versa), but also allowing me to take a lot of heroes of my youth, GIGA, and of course ; of course that despite my continuous 4 days Messe Rummel there never really boring for even a second was.
And what I'm saying now?
The inclusive response to my initial question is therefore in principle quite simple: I felt the first time that properly belonged to it.
Thank Cologne, thank you Gwen and Candy, thank you GamesCom ... see you again next year.
... But then in a better hotel.
