Gen Con – Thursday
by Chris Hussey
Thursday kicked off Gen Con, and all the requisite and time honored Gen Con traditions are there. I find it amusing that year after year, people seem to not pre-register so they can avoid lines. Now, I know that many people make the decision at the last minute, but this many? Still, I gotta respect these gamer’s tenacity in standing in line for so long. In the video below, we get a look at the lines and talk to Andy, who was (cue Ronnie James Dio) the Last In Line.
What also impresses me are gamers who will wait to be the first in line to get the gaming product they want. I talked to these folks about it.
And speaking of gamers wanting what they want, we got inside the Exhibitor’s Hall to talk with Paizo about the release of the Pathfinder Core RPG. Of course, we also got the rush of those gamers who wanted to get the book. Or books in some cases.

Awesome, Chris, Chad, Dan, et. al.
Chris you seriously look so old I thought they were joking when they talked about how you looked 40 in your teens but man.
Great coverage though wish I was there
Ouch… at least I’m out here working hard for you guys! :)
Thanks, Chris, for the uploads. You don’t look that old to me!
Chris looks almost exactly as I imagined, just less the gass.
Thanks for the coverage, much better video work (especially on such a tight turn around).
Hey, we’re here for you guys. I wish it wasn’t proving so tricky to get stuff uploaded. Glad you are liking it, though. Obviously people are watching. I’m really impressed by the view numbers! I look like you imagined, huh? I’m not sure if that is good or bad. :)
So how did you guys get in to tape that? Were they letting press in before the general attendees?
@Dan – Yup, Press and VIGs got in an hour early.
