A bunch of people were using the DS’s built-in Pictochat program. It’s a whiteboard/text chat that runs wirelessly (but not on the 802.11b chip).

There were many crudely drawn wangs and crudely drawn breasts. Until I combined the two.

“Is that a woman,” someone asked.

“Sorta.”

I’m eyeballing it, but I’d say there’s about 9 Nintendo DS’s here for every Sony PSP.

I am attending this year’s Penny Arcade Expo. I was hoping to play some games (which I got to do once so far, photographed by tons of people) and chat with gamers, but I am feeling a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of people here, the lines, and the events (which have so far filled near-instantly.)

The show looks like an amazing success, and this was just the first of three days. Tomorrow starts the vendor exhibitions. I hope to collect much swag, in my attempt to embrace my game-geek-ness.

If this photo doesn’t come out good, here’s an explanation: shot from above, 400 men, 3 women:
