Friday at rAge Expo is usually\u00a0a quiet affair.<\/p>\n

Many exhibitors are still setting up and dedicated gamers are in full-force checking out the latest and greatest.<\/p>\n

There are still many visitors, but it’s typically those who could get off early from work or are enjoying a holiday.<\/p>\n

Saturday is the biggest\u00a0day, as could be witnessed by the 400+ queue that greeted us\u00a0when we arrived at the Dome in the morning.<\/p>\n

We asked\u00a0the queuing visitors why they\u00a0were prepared to wait for 2 hours in the sweltering\u00a0morning heat:<\/p>\n

“For the games!” said Samuel, age 9.<\/p>\n

“I like Forza and Skylanders and I want to see the new things they have.”<\/p>\n

Samuel’s dad, Arthur (36) a life-long PC gamer, was hoping to see if he could grab one of Nvidia’s new graphics cards at a cheap price.<\/p>\n

There are those who aren’t just here for the games either, Leandra (17), was eager to get to the cosplay competition.<\/p>\n

The overwhelming majority of people we asked all had the same answer however:<\/p>\n

We still come to rAge every year and wait in the long lines “because it’s cool”.<\/p>\n
