I started one last year so I might as well do one this year. I didn't bring my camera, but took a few shots with my iPhone. Good enough.

Feel free to post your pics and/or videos.

Vectorinvadr had time to share a teaser and do a bit of Q&A for his film, The Video Craze. He got a standing ovation. It's going to be an epic film.

Pole Position competition all ready to go. Machines were breaking down all night, but they were able to get it done. I believe our very own TronGuy won the competition:

Richie doing his thing and DUI:

Got to meet Walter. Very nice guy who seemed to enjoy the sights and sounds. He probably took a photo with half the crowd:

Lonnie "Lon" McDonald rolling over one of the many Joust machines around the country he plans on pwning. I was admiring his play near the end and he asked if I could hold his iPhone and record his last couple of minutes. The guy is amazing. Those are signed Twin Galaxies trading cards up top:

And done. Another CAX has come and gone and it was a blast. Thanks to all of you who took time to hang out, share a meal, chat, play some games, etc. I'm looking forward to next year.
 
^^^^^^^^ was one of my favorite games at CAX this year! I mustered a score of 1800~ but i suspect one can score much higher if you hit those blinking 200's in the way back :)

that Ferrari F355 Challenge game was really realistic, very fun to play! I wish i would have had more time on the machine and learned how to REALLY drive it - rather than just learning how to stay on the track and being able to keep up with the computer!

and i was glad to see the Hard Drivin' Airborne was back; I managed a 170,000~ the top score of the day !

This is jack gordeans modifed shooter. Its a custom project made by some sothern california collectors. Its been to cax 2 or 3 times before.

Good to know. I never tried the EM shooters before. There were barely any open games so I decided to give it a shot (no pun intended).
 
Pretty sad to hear there wasnt an organized group photo this year. Cool photos though Jess.
