And with that an entire weekend where downtown Seattle is descended upon by hordes of nerds, geeks, gamers, and dudes in utilikilts. Every year some friends and I check it out, and it’s become a great brodeo weekend event. I like to think of it as equal parts checking out games before they come out and a scared straight program to keep me from diving headlong into gamer dork oblivion.

I’ll try to post a trip report as I partake; in the meantime you can track our ultilikilt utilicount. Next year I want to make utilikilt bingo.
