I am still not sure how I got back to my hotel room after eating all of pbj's wings and solving all the world's problems over a bottle of scotch with Opt.
Haha, I remember that. We finished through 2/3 a bottle of that Glenfiddich, and I got to know Mike a lot more than what I know from the forum. Good times, brotha!
Just a lot of drinking, video games, and good company.
I have met a couple of people out there that I consider good friends now.
Honestly, this is what makes me truly happy. Playing games with good people, while enjoying a good buzz. Chicken wings are a nice bonus.
This year I plan on bringing the Vectrex again, and perhaps some janky emulation device for the party house. Every year I bring some gaming system to play with the homies.
But it's true, ever since last year, I have been in constant contact IRL with multiple forum members I was privileged to hang-out with at ZC.
Great people that I consider my friends now, and due to our shared passion and interests in this hobby and gaming in general, it's great to have people to talk to that 'get it'.
This trip is worth it.
