We did Nintendoaire live. Here are some pictures of the show.
Scott and I had some expectations for Nintendoaire this year. Our thoughts? Mainly on par with last year's Jeopardy panel, which clocked in at 100 people tops. The reality? Way better. 250 people lined up for Who Wants to Be a Nintendoaire?, with more than 300 people showing up in total. It was fantastic.
Mad props to all who pitched in, specifically Nate, Lauren, and Trick for being grunts during the panel, doing sound, visual, and in-the-audience work. Also, it couldn't have happened without Andy or Zach, who both couldn't make the trip but were there in spirit.
