    i was just daydreaming about the "good ol days" and all the craziness that occurred at CES. like namco talking about releasing a new console, or atari dropping plans of localizing nintendos first console after seeing donkey kong on competitors hardware.

    i only wish things could be that exciting again, e3 and tgs were so boring this year (for the most part.. e3 had a few decent surprises). #consumerelectronicsshow

    I got this press release and only one question came to mind. What in the hell does that mean? Last year, there was nothing in the gaming section to even think about, let alone to really look at.

    Well, not in terms of gaming, anyways. #consumerelectronicsshow

    @Jamez: well last years show was really mroe about Bluray winning the format war. This year we're seeing new controller implementations that should start appearing in the spring. PlaySTation wand, Natal, new DDR Pads. So there is certainly more available to show off at CES. Last years CES really didn't have anything in the gaming arena we didn't already know about. #consumerelectronicsshow

    @KazeEternal: That's assuming we'll see anything with the PlayStation want (publicly) and Natal. That said, Natal might be shown off since Microsoft will have a booth in the gaming section, though I doubt it'll be shown publicly as well. #consumerelectronicsshow

    Can we have these events in the East at some point in time? North East preferably?

    @Muon: because it would suck? most of the fun comes from being in the same physical space with all those people you chat online with all the time. no, I'm serious. to be able to turn to ten people in the same line and basically be like, "isn't this awesome?" and they all grin back at you.. I live for that.

    plus you need to be within a certain distance to be able to draw cookies in Pictochat and have somebody else turn them into testicles. #paxeast2010

    Someone mentioned this on the SWTOR forums a week or so ago, and I got excited. I had no idea before then of this iteration of the show's existence.

    If I have the time, I'm definitely going to Boston in March. #paxeast2010

    Remember the good ol' days when we got all the good candies?

    Those juicy delicious bars, ready to have their cocoa potential awakened by our tastebuds and absorbed by our stomach acid.

    But as the years went by, the cocoa potential slowly turned into boring corn molasses, and the only safe entry we had were, ironically, the rocks.

    But then that wasn't enough for the industry.

    Within 5 years, the industry destroyed all granite and basalt, and replaced them with only graphite blocks.

    Now the only safe place for Halloween is in our imaginations… which means the INTERNET!

    So this year, when you get your online Halloween Hats and candies, make sure to proudly shout out over IRC:

    "I got a Halloween Hat, and I'm proud of it, damn it all~!" #ncsoft

    I don't participate on any of those sites but I'm sure looking forward to Halloween events for the numerous MMOrpg sites I do frequent.

    Enough pumpkin items, give me my twilight goodies. Bring Dracula into some sort of epic quest, just don't make it suck. :P #ncsoft

    MMOs should also use this time to stress the dangers of Halloween.

    i propose that they allow for random candy drops. 80% of the drops are fine and when consumed will refresh/buff your character.

    15% are poisoned and will cast a random affection lasting for x amount of time.

    5% contain glass/metal and cause immediate death when taken.

    Users can choose to gamble of just eating their candy, or heading to the nearest city to have it "inspected' by a local NPC.

    After the inspection, the bad candy is removed along with 10% of the good candy.

    i think that would shake things up a bit.

    @Taggart6 con estrella: What the heck? You sure got some imagination there.

    I say we include a part where one of the male characters invites you inside for more candy, just as you're about to go inside a huge pop-up appears "No! Don't do that! He's going to touch the privates, never enter a strangers home, even if he has delicious reeses pieces." #ncsoft
