Another great show! Brought 3 games for free play this year which was a record for me. Sold one, traded one, and brought one home. Great game selection and didn't encounter too many games not working compared to past years.
The long line outside seems like a solvable problem. I wasn't affected by it but I can understand the complaints. Again, seems fixable with either more people running the ticket window or some kind of pre-sale system.
As for the lines on the new games, how about mandatory 4 player? Make some friends, groups of 4 can crowd around the machine and take turns. Better to rotate than waiting for someone to finish a full game.
Anyway, I had a great time as usual and will be back next year for sure.
