Well thanks to my awesome networking skills days 4 and 5 were busy ones for me and I’ve kept myself quite busy for me!

Day 4-
I spent walking around ALL of CES. I got to check out the oh so sexy cars and audio system section. I spent a good hour or so drooling over the cars and equipment and headed over to the Sony area where I played some games in 3d and watched some movies and tv shows in 3D as well. I have to admit, I think 3D gaming is by FAR the best utilization of the 3D technology. Watching tv in 3D was rather boring, however if they had Avatar in 3D I think that would have made me ate my words. After the 3D area I sat in line for a bit and managed to sneak my way into a spot ahead of people to play with the EYEpet. I’ve been looking forward to this moment since I saw the game so I was going NUTS waiting to play. After I sat down I pretty much only got to do a few basic things since the game is still in it’s early stages. I bathed my pet, gave him some xrays to see how he was doing, then drew a robot and played with him for a bit and before I knew it my time was done. I have to admit I was rather disappointed since I had already seen the same routine several times and was hoping I’d get to do something new. I still think I’ll buy the game when it comes out however. I’m just waiting for them to progress into the later stages of the game so I can do more!

After playing some games I decided it’s time to network some more and I got a lot of really good connections going. This is the best part of CES for me. Why? Well because of one of these new connections I get to give you guys cool new swag every week! You’ll have to stay tuned for more details on that one though!

After walking around and playing Guitar Hero at every booth that had it on every peripheral made by every third party that was at CES I got a bit bored and found myself back at the Flick Truck to pass some time. Before I knew it the owner of the truck came up to me and asked me if I’d work at the truck for the rest of the day and the next day. I had so much fun playing on the truck and hanging out with all the cool people that stopped to watch me play that I agreed and rocked out for the rest of the day.

DAY 5-
Day 5 I was at the Flick Truck for most of the day. I took a short break at 12:30 to meet with GamBridge about their new midi Guitars that are compatible with Guitar Hero. The guitars are pretty epic since you can use them to learn how to play REAL guitar since they have REAL strings where you strum and a shit ton of buttons all over the headstock so you can play all the normal chords and such without it hurting as much as real strings. While the guitar that I played on was still an unfinished prototype, I was pretty excited with what I saw. I think if I had a good month to sit down and play with that guitar specifically I could play Expert on Guitar Hero with it no problem!



In order to get more people to come over to the truck and check out it’s epicness we decided to do a little mini tournament. I brought my laptop and hooked up the ustream and Flick Truck was awesome enough to give away a $50 gift certificate to the winner. We had a decent amount of people join the tournament and it was set up round robin style. In the end it turned out that the winner knew who I winner knew who I was and used to work with me. Small world! I played a little joke on him and said “Now, if you want that gift certificate you have to beat me!” and we battled. He lost, but we still gave him the gift certificate.. it was all in fun! Everything went over so well that I was asked to do future events with the Flick Truck so prepare to see me rocking on a 119” screen more often because I can’t get enough of that truck!

I had a TON of fun at CES and I’m so glad I got to go! It was great hanging out with all of my buddies and seeing the Ultimate Gamer crew again! Stay tuned for news about the new partnerships I’ve made thanks to CES and for news on Ultimate Gamer 2 also! I want all of you to audition this time. See you all at CES 2011!
