Conventional Wisdom

The Game Room was right next to Artist Alley this year, with all the temporary walls up. Generally speaking, I think this was a good call, since it made AA feel less tucked away from everything else. However, it WAS pretty torturous to see & hear this really impressive array of classic arcade games when I was supposed to be focusing on running the table. Oh, and also, Mario feels REALLY weird when you play it with an arcade stick instead of an NES controller.

Oh and look! Obligatory Cameo Kids! They made TWO appearances this year!
