That's probably what most of us look like, to be fair.
I do try to avoid Star Wars t-shirts though.
Playexpo in Manchester has a wider selection of clientele, but that's because it's trying to be everything to everyone.
You get teenage girls in cosplay, awkward boys carrying around their own tournament joysticks, stressed bald men trying to repair their dying pinball machines and random people in between.
I didn't realise Mr. Biffo and Iain Lee were going. I can imagine that was a fun discussion!
I'll try and go next year.

As much as gaming has never been seen as "cool" by poser sort of people, if you're a gamer you just enjoy the hobby and accept that all the reasons you love gaming just won't compute with people who don't appreciate it.

I've been going on the sunday with mates for the couple years and it was nice to have them expand it out to 2 large rooms for the first time since i started going when they restarted from that farm function room. I can see from the picture the F355 machine actually had F355 in it , sunday they had swapped it out the rom for Outrun2 which was really good fun. Also enjoyed the standup Hang-on and Ridge racer machines, operation wolf and 4 player Gauntlet. Also fewer knackered machines this year which is nice, a couple of the older arcades had bits of the monitor cut off, T2 second uzi didn't work and the 2 SF2 machines we played both had joystick problems.
