Write In A Card To My Fiance

Video Games Live and the Games Convention Leipzig

So, here I am again. My holiday is indeed long been over and I would have been able to blog frequently small, unimportant things, but I thought I can sign me right back to times with NEM great entry. (That this blog is composed largely of small, unimportant things, sometimes I ignore qualities)


was mentioned earlier, I at Video Games Live and the ticket as one day encouraged at the Leipzig Games Convention .


So first come to Leipzig times. Fortunately, Basti, who also went to tour again, especially on home leave and had to be today in Lübeck. Practical. Not quite so handy was that his girlfriend was here, but had returned to Kassel. Passau, Kassel, Leipzig and Lubeck unfortunately are not quite on a line, as the following chart illustrates.



(who now wonders why there PA, KS, L and HL instead of A, B, C, D is: putting ashamed to think and)


The trip to Kassel was certainly entertaining. We came through well, there's also enough to talk and we also had (should he care during the holidays) and the dog of Basti's parents on board. In Kassel we were back then dog and girlfriend, but before that it was still short visit home. The young lady has a corn snake as a pet, which I also held the same views. Had the first time ne snake in his hand and needs, it was a cool feeling (snake around his arm included). I like reptiles.


Continue to Leipzig. The road map leads A38 cross over to Leipzig, in reality, the German-made single-class highway as far advanced as the A94 (ie, probably not). Many country roads with trucks and about the same time we have used from Passau to Kassel, later we were in Leipzig. controlled feeling lucky the first youth hostel. Sold Out. In addition, the info "Then they'll be hard all over the city, it is finally GAMES CONVENTION". But as a co-worker remembered that the large tour group from the group in the eighth room Stock had left and we are the exception, could have if we are coming all the way from Passau. Tadaa! We had a bed to sleep only, but also still the same a whole floor for us. If we had previously called and asked for, we would get nothing more, but so ... great KARMA, I haz it!


As before seven in the evening was already half said it right after checking in next to the concert. The Arena fortunately, was only 5 km away and we also have parking at the entrance to get a version (KARMA!). Inside were


's then only once a Guitar Hero contest, but after someone in front of me at 98% Mississippi Queen Song Contest made it to hard, I've omitted. From the main sponsor was Razer's bright green shoulder-things, which in the darkness of the hall then looked very cool.


places we were actually very good, close to the stage a little left out. The orchestra was good to see, but the view of the screen was severely affected by a carrier. But since the start of concert still some places in the pit in the middle were free, we are hingehuscht and BOOM, a perfect view of the stage and screen, if a little further away. Then repeated the stunt a few others, so that the first concert minutes was still marked by a small migration in the dark. After the break it turned out that these places were reserved for staff, this member and have been subjected to this same break even for the most part ... except the two places where we sat (KARMA!).


The concert itself was fantastic. The orchestra played really great, this there was still a choir and of course the two leaders as a mood-maker.


It started of course with Pong, Space Invaders and a number of other classic games, then there was the same time the first peak in the form of a Metal Gear Solid -Medley, a world premiere of Crysis at Video Games Live and of course lots of music from video games (God of War , Civ4 , Zelda, Mario , Sonic, Kingdom hearts , Starcraft 2, World of Warcraft, Metroid and certainly something, I forget what). The grand finale was then Halo quite successful as I thought. The game itself but I find prollig (I mean, even if the hero is Master Chief ...), but the music was very epic. As a bonus, then there was the One Winged Angel from FF7 (However, only Fanart on screen, because the use of its Game Square sequences are not allowed, so it just Disney in Kingdom Hearts were to see figures) and Castlevania . That both are very much mood. In between were


's always a few little extras. Once a member of the audience was allowed to Space Invaders on the screen matches, while The orchestra made the music to it. Then it made a Frogger Contest (again with live-OST) and the conclusion could play the Guitar Hero winners on the stage.


And a true highlight was of course the two appearances of the Video Game Pianist Martin Leung , once with a Final Fantasy Medly, even Super Mario - some with blindfolded (which made him famous was added). At the end of the second round, he also took requests from the audience. To Bubble Bobble he could unfortunately nothing, but when it was still Megaman, I was finally happy (perhaps He now learns Bubble Bobble)


went after a late dinner at the restaurant the golden M's back to the hostel, we were both really tired and if we have what the next day of the fair wanted, it had to get up early.


The exhibition hall of Leipzig was me well through two book fairs now familiar, I knew so well, where you could park for free ^ ^


As was Thursday, it was fortunately not as full (but enough) . Cosplayers and visual acuity were also hardly move (not 15, I've seen). Do not know if the towards the weekend yet changes, at least it was a different picture from the book fair, because practically no one rumsaß on the ground. If the weekend days likely to be different, after all the nerd-factor here Geake higher overall than at the Book Fair.


At the fair, of course, everything was there, what the big names (except Nintendo).


Warhammer Online launched a new great trailer, but also its playing surface and how different it would have to be WoW in the Warhammer world. A possible trial version, I'll try anyway, at the show you do not get even with all the details, but I fear that it was economical with innovations. Why bring out something special when you can simply copy the market leader? The same is true for the MMORPG Aion and others could be seen. Even the interface looks almost the same everywhere. Postive I noticed, however Mortal. A MMORPG that will appear next year and wants to give up the whole level orgies and car struggles. The character is only as good as it plays itself. Is called a n00b too, can get an experienced person. Sounds promising, perhaps because of something breaking out of the mainstream mud. Time to observe what comes of it.


Blizzard was, of course also there with a huge booth where you could preview gamble Starcraft 2. Fallout 3 was represented by its own bunker (you see both banned in the photos below, interior photos of the bunker were).


Otherwise, I have noticed is that the stand-Valets were wearing the less, the less important is the associated company. Make way, one could almost call it prostitution.


whole, the exhibition was impressive but, I enjoy preparing and again has given us a taste of video games. Must be:)


Here now the promised photos:

I would like more Photos made, but I've got a new digital camera (Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W110). Was a rate for a subscription for a magazine, but unfortunately my old memory cards do not fit, so I had to resort to the internal memory of 15 Mb sensational.


After the mass was

's still a late lunch at the Grand Canyon, which has been recommended to me Dida last book fair. Was again very tasty.


Then it was take home. Basti threw me out of the station and sprayed them north. I to the ICE South. ICE-trips are really nice and cozy, had long run out. And since I had booked two weeks before, I still have one of the cheap tickets dusted (KARMA!). In Nuremberg, was unfortunately in an IC change ... comes with no less than before as a local train. And how should it be different (you know by now the German Railways): The ICE had before Nuremberg 10 minutes late. The IC, however, fortunately, so I caught my connecting train to Passau problems (KARMA!).


mountaineering Once later I was home and I fell into bed exhausted.


Take care!
