Last night I attended EXP Presents: Gaming on the Rocks.
Now I half expected this to be some huge dudefest where people were just going be LANin' in up and the women were hunchbacks that spent their times in clock towers than social events...but was most definitely wrong. This seemed more like an E3 after party than anything. Dead Rising 2, Halo Reach, NHL (whatever the recent one is...) and a bunch of others sprawled across thirteen TV Screens they even had the PS3 Move--which I must say was really not that fun to play once you have played the Wii. Hell, they even had their own semi-booth babes selling vouchers to buy food. The drinks were great too. They had a lot of hilarious names to existing drinks like "Level Up" and "Shoryuken".
I mostly played Halo Reach because most of the other venues and screens had huge lineups and Halo Reach was the only game I could really excel at either than NHL, which at that point was taken over by a group of VIPs. Reach was enjoyable for the most part except the fact that everyone kind of didn't know how to play and the people that did were not all that great either but I still had a blast racking up Multi-kills.
In the end it was a great night of drinking and gaming and socializing that I won't forget soon and I encourage everyone who is reading this to get check it out next year if they do it.
