Tonight, I attended NYC’s CES preview in Manhattan, which was held at the Metropolitan Pavilion - which isn’t really a pavilion at all.  Besides meeting some awesome people, I got to try a bunch of new gadgets (which I’ll be posting on later) and watch a bunch of cool demos on new tech stuff.

Here are some photos.  I’m super excited for CES in January! wpid-2011-11-08_19-38-18_780.jpg wpid-2011-11-08_19-48-23_148.jpg wpid-2011-11-08_19-45-14_61.jpg wpid-2011-11-08_23-18-09_563.jpg

Oh, hello…what are you doing???

]]> http://abigailelise.com/2011/10/wii-sunday/feed/ 0 I love old school gaming! http://abigailelise.com/2011/10/i-love-old-school-gaming/ http://abigailelise.com/2011/10/i-love-old-school-gaming/#comments Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:39:25 +0000 AbigailElise http://abigailelise.com/?p=72 I love my PS3.  I also love my Wii.  I’m a whiz at Guitar Hero and somewhat effective at Call of Duty.  But if I had to choose only one console to play for the rest of my life, I’d probably pick my SNES.

Lame, right?  But, hear me out.  I looove old school gaming.  Some of the first video games I played and fell in love with were A Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy IV.  I love the characters.  I love the 16-bit graphics.  And I love the difficulty.  Those games were hardcore.  I remember getting the crap kicked outta me a number of times by Lavos in Chrono Trigger and going back for more.  I remember playing Yoshi’s Cookie for 12 hours straight after my parents went to sleep.  I also remember crying at the end of Secret of Mana, because I couldn’t believe that, alas, the journey was over.

And, as much as I love gaming now, as much as I love shooting Nazi zombies in Call of Duty: Black Ops and scaling mountain terrain in Uncharted 2, I’ve gotta admit that…it’s just not the same.  15 years ago, being able to flip a switch and enter an imaginary world was kinda a new thing for kids and gamers.

K, I’m gonna go play some SNES now.  Later.

What are you doing?

Welcome to my blog. This is my first post. I’ll be adding lots of stuff here – pics, video game news, reviews – and a plethora of general geekiness. Did I mention I’m a huge, huge geek? I am.

So, stick around. I promise I’ll add more interesting crap than this semi-boring first blog post.
