Success!
The very first Escapism Toronto was today, and it was, over-all, a smashing success!
The Playdium was a good choice for our first meet up, and I think great fun was had by all!
And now, of course...the pictures!
Here is, from left to right: AC10, JRCB, Carbonel, and Asturiel!
Our mascot for the day: A piece of bristol board with a crudely drawn unhappy face.
It was legendary.
Here is Baby Tea (Left) and Asturiel (Right) trying to play Guitar Hero.
Let me say, for the record, that setting that thing up to do two player is a huge pain in the ass.
Carbonel seems to be getting a little too into Time Crisis.
AC10 is the right type of happy. The normal type.
JRCB tries to imitate our mascot. Fail.
Asturiel in the background does a creepy photobomb. Win.
And we are joined by Hashime!
Everyone seated and strapped in for the big, 6 player Indy 500 race!
I didn't win, so let's not discuss it any further. Jerks.
Hashime (Barely seen) and Asturiel attempt the 'angle' style of DDR. It was hilarious to watch.
This was JRCB and Carbonel also doing something hilarious: Playing a rally car game where the other cars fly around the track, through the floor, and just randomly appear all over the place. You have had to see it to truly understand how hilarious this was.
This was another glitch that was hilarious! AC10's steering didn't work (He could turn right, but not left). The race was boring in comparison to AC10's frustration and consistent crashing (And surprisingly good drifting).
Glitches were everywhere, it seems. AC10 and I attempted to play some Tekken 5.
Turns out his Joystick didn't work. And my attack buttons didn't work. The rounds were interesting, if brief.
JRCB and Carbonel playing outrun two player. Apparently if you crash, or just generally suck, the driving control switches to the other player. There was a great deal of switching. It was hilarious.
Here is Baby Tea attempting the batting cages. The pitches were coming in at my freaking knee.
I wish I was joking. It felt like golf!
Asturiel has the right idea, taking the 'squat' approach.
GO KARTS! Here is Carbonel operating his very first motor vehicle. Aww...they grow up so fast!
Here is Baby Tea giving the fruitiest 'WOO!' ever, apparently. I blame the photographer.
Asturiel Behind the wheel. He was all business.
The whole group at Boston Pizza! With our awesome mascot!
Big thanks and shout out to David, the great waiter who took the picture! Woo!
That's all I've got! There were more pictures taken, but I picked the best out of my group.
Asturiel might have more!
Big thanks to AC10, Hashime, Carbonel, JRCB, and Asturiel for coming out!
Great day, guys! Next year will have to be better, somehow!
