GenCon 2009

GenCon 2009 was fantastic. For the first time in my life, I felt "gamed-out". Meaning that by the last day, I didn't even feel like playing games anymore. We had a great time (for the most part). Can't wait to go back next year. This is what a convention is suppose to be like. The 2 previous one's I attended (Babel Con, Mecha-Con) were a joke compared to GenCon. GenCon is everything that it's hyped up to be and more. Here are some various pics I took while there. I took them with my cell phone, so the quality is not that great, but you can still see all the great gaming goodness that was offered.
