The Art of Video Games: The Guestbook

I went to The Art of Video Games exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. yesterday with my brother. I'll upload more of the video we took when I get back from the two-week road trip I'm leaving for tomorrow, but I wanted to show off one of my favorite things at the exhibit: the guestbook. This guestbook was laid out for visitors to sign just a few days before on August 30th, and it already had quite a few people write in it. There are a lot of nice messages in there, along with people mentioning their favorite games or drawing their most beloved characters. It's a little lengthy, but I recommend checking it out to see what fellow enthusiasts had to say about the exhibit and video games in general. You can see my brother and I put our own messages in at the end.

I didn't see any mentions of Giant Bomb in there (I'll do that when I return to the exhibit later this month), but someone did draw the NeoGAF logo!

Go to the 15:00 mark for my hilarious suggestions for what my brother should write.

My Penny Arcade Shoes

The box to my pair of Penny Arcade shoes.

With Kitty peeing all over my only real pair of shoes, and my nurse clogs I wore as Nurse Joker for Halloween 2008 being a filthy mess (for a different reason),  I was out of options for footwear in the first half of 2011. I preordered a pair of Penny Arcade's new shoes, not realizing the wait for them to be manufactured and shipped out would take so long. They eventually arrived on August 15th.

They feature the Penny Arcade logo on the front and the Konami Code on the back.
