GenCon 2009: Day Two, Part Two: Life Ainâ??t Nuttinâ?? But Hey And Nonny Nonny

[RSS FEED]

Dave and Luke are in Indiana for GenCon 2009. You can follow along thanks to our GenCon 2009 coverage. Donâ??t forget to look for them if youâ??re there! Youâ??ll probably find them out front, asking for spare change.

Theyâ??re alive! As you may recall from our previous installment, Dave and Luke were having a little monster trouble. Thank the stars that they had a cunning plan.

Unable to cross, the monster walked in tiny obedient circles until it eventually starved to death and died. And when you defeat a monster, what do you get? Thatâ??s rightâ?¦

Treasure! So now it was time to do what every good adventurer must do sooner or later, and go to town and sell some crap. In this case, â??townâ?? is more like a cubicle farm in a banquet hall, but hey, Washington D.C. was built on a big pile of garbage. You take what you can get.

Crazy Egor got the name because he didnâ??t put many points into Intelligence or Wisdom. But we gotta say, his Charisma is off the charts!

Strangely, thereâ??s no ten day waiting period for axes. However, you do have to allow a background check if you want any magic rings. Donâ??t expect that law to go away any time soon, Wizard Lobbyists are pretty powerful.

These cat-girl tails are captured on site. Each morning before dawn, a team of rangers head down to the Anime booths to check their traps. The practice is controversial, but weâ??re told they sell very well to Japanese businessmen.

Of course, when it comes to finding the best clothing deals, thereâ??s only one rule: kill or be kilt.

Not everyone was a fan of the Pac-Man snack bar, but those with special dietary needs were thrilled that the organizers had been so thoughtful. Additionally, Dave and Luke were sad to report that they arrived just as the cherry was going out the side door.

The on-site bard provided entertainment and also doubled as a save point!

Casual visitors paid no notice to this interesting space. But if thereâ??s one thing gamers know, itâ??s how to read the signs. Empty corner? At the end of a path? With a pirate flag? Oh, yes, oh yes. This could only be one thing. A secret room.

See? Thereâ??s a puzzle ready and waiting. Dave and Luke discussed their options. Slide the trash can left? Realign the mop and bucket? Kick all the differently colored tiles? Touch all four circles at once? Dave and Luke tried it all. And finally, finally! they figured it out. So guess what they unlocked?

Alternate costumes. At least itâ??s something.

Remember to keep watch for Luke and Dave all this weekend as they wander around GenCon 2009. If they catch you wearing your Woot shirt you might end up Internet Famous! And our GenCon2009 coverage won initiative, so youâ??ve got to keep checking back. Itâ??s the rules!
