    Well it's more of a variety show that usually involves a lot of imaginative stripping acts. But's all done with a sort of 1920s to 1940s vibe.

    People in the audience tend to dress up in that style as well.

    Although you'd know most of them aren't regular hat wearers as they keep their hats on indoors all night which to me is VERY bad hatiquette.

    Ok your bordering hipster status now with hatiquette & all...if I were you I'd use this opportunity to randomly assault Retr0. That's what I always to to take the heat off myself here :P

    I don't even know. My jeans are baggy too.

    From Wikipedia:
    Kyosuke Kosaka, a normal 17-year-old high school student living in Chiba,[3] has not gotten along with his younger sister Kirino in years. For longer than he can remember, Kirino has ignored his comings and goings and looked at him with spurning eyes. It seemed as if the relationship between Kyōsuke and his sister, now fourteen, would continue this way forever. One day however, Kyosuke finds a DVD case of a magical girl anime which had fallen in his house's entrance way. To Kyosuke's surprise, he finds a hidden eroge (an adult game) inside the case and he soon learns that both the DVD and the game belong to Kirino. That night, Kirino brings Kyosuke to her room and reveals herself to be an otaku with an extensive collection of moe anime and younger sister-themed eroge she has been collecting in secret. Kyosuke quickly becomes Kirino's confidant for her secret hobby.

    While Conception Please have my children sounded like a good and interesting game this one does exactly what it says on the tin. Moe **** fodder.

    I've used that joke years before eurogamer, making it even more unoriginal. I also stole it from someone else.

    The first few links that came up in google use it word for word also, so butter wouldn't exactly melt in eurogamer's mouth either!

    Looking at their objectives and explanation of the exhbition,
    they seem to have a very broad and clear understanding of the gaming scene as a whole.
    Which is great, and is it making it hard for me to come up with any suggestions that are not so obvious.


    I think a lot of our suggestions would be on the retro side of these things,
    so maybe we could help out there to show people how the games evolved,
    and not to take too much away from the exhibition exploring the future of games.


    Here's an idea, icon3.gif
    why don't we kickstart Steve's idea in the A Call to Action Comrades thread by using this exhibition as a stepping stone
    and perhaps hosting a "Retro Day" if this is welcomed by the organizers.


    Since Steve proposed this idea, I guess he would be the one to contact them.

    If he wasn't interested then I suppose we could work as a group also.

    Anyone can take this and run with it as far as I'm concerned. I'll gladly do my bit but if someone wants to contact them and get some information and all that then cool.

    What's your initial view on this?

    Do you think it would be a suitable stepping stone for your idea?

    Argh!

    PSN has got to have the slowest download service out there. I'm a Plus member and it's still taken me over 30 minutes to download just 200mb on a 30MB connection.

    8 Player Micro Machines on the MegaDrive too!
    (Turbo Tournament? Or was it 96?)

    Plus a side by side comparison of Sonic in 50Hz and 60Hz.
    If people aren't ringing up Joe Duffy to complain once they learn the truth then its all for nothing!
