TGS - Taipei Game Show 2007

Today, my classmate Tambi and I went to the Taipei Game Show at the Taipei World Trade Center. On the way, we passed by a building holding the International Cosmetics Exhibition. We were asked by the gentleman below to take a picture with him and gladly obliged much to the satisfaction of the couple dozen or so people around.

Say cheese!

This woman's friend asked us to take a picture together... It was impossible to say no.
The group from the Cosmetics Exhibition was so nice that we're tempted to go there tomorrow just to see if they are all still there.

Despite it being noon on a workday... crowds managed to make it to the game show:

Good news! It's a suppository!



Nice sword, care to see... nevermind


Many of the booths were for Chinese language online RPGs that I can't even begin to understand.

Can you name everyone pictured?

Security at the function was a little over the top

At the World of Warcraft area


Microsoft was the only home console maker present, Sony and Nintendo were no-shows.

So many kiosks and not a single one available

An online dancing game:

Zoinks!



See you next year!

This weekend I'll be visiting Kaohsiung for the first time! I am sure I'll have some pictures sometime early next week.

    Great pics and lots of beautiful girls... er, costumes. Unfortunately I don't think I will have time to go there.

    Todd,

    A friend who runs a tech magazine linked to my article on Taoyuan Nights about TGS, and I'm getting 100 hits/hour vs. the usual 100 hits/day. And my first link is to your article... so in case you're wondering where any extra traffic came from... :)

    Mu.
