Kevin's Nvision 08 experience

[kevinbo03]

So... Nvision... Was basically :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing amazing. I saw some cool stuff, Met some nice people, Played some cool games, Played the best round BF2 i've seen in years, Got loads of free swag and prizes, Met the mythbusters, And participated in a world record. All in 3 days, And it only cost me $30 (Which i got back for completing the world record, So after it all, It was free!).

I met Charles/Fugger briefly, nice guy, he had a phase unit there at the EVGA booth. I won a GTX 280, Thermaltake case, And 2gb of some nice Patriot memory. Meeting adam and jamie was very cool, I've never met someone that i've seem on TV hundreds of times, Very cool guys. I met Jen-Hsun Huang briefly, Also a very cool, relaxed guy.

So... I'm going to spare the story for now, So I can get some sleep (Which i am still in desperate need of!). Here's the Photos!

I cant see the pics :(

You should be able to, Even without a Google account. :shrug:

If you don't already have a Google account, I'd suggest getting one. Free, And some pretty nifty features. If you do have one... I'm not sure why you cant see them. I may copy the album over to some other service tomorrow.

they come up but then puts a red X in them. it may just be because of the proxys here at work

Sadly yes, there were maybe 20 more that were over exposed/out of focus. I was stuck to my chair for most of the event because of the world record attempt. So I was only able to snap pics on breaks and after the attempt.

I cant wait for next year's... Nvision was a great combination of events. Professional keynotes, Demoscenes, Exhibition, LAN, And entertainment. I also expect next year to be bigger, Almost everyone (companies) was very pleased with it.

dayam 3 days straight. 72 hours right? :shocked:

Give ya mad props. I dont think i could ever do something like that.

Only 36 hours for the record, But I was up for longer.

I woke up at 2pm on Sunday after a long night of work. I tried to sleep before Nvision, But i was too excited! I ended up getting to the entrance at 3AM, So we got in the early bird raffle (Where i won some lame thermaltake case i gave away). I then stayed awake through Monday, And slept in my chair for one hour at 8AM on tuesday. I stayed up all the way from then until 10PM on wednesday.

So essentially, I got one hour of sleep in 80 hours! :am:

It was tons of fun, And I hope they try to set a new record next year, Maybe 48 hours? If they don't do another GWR Attempt, I'll still be there for the LAN, the Exhibitions and Keynotes. I'll also definitely be volunteering, I have to give back for all the fun times I had. The Club SLI Ambassadors, Volunteers, And Nvidia employees did a great job, It was an amazing event. :up:
