On that note, Martin, what about that giant wall of fire this year? And the shark pool? (Yeah, I know that was mostly the other Martin, but you -were- involved in those videos...)

Links please!

Same page, the video I linked was #11 - the shark tank and the wall of fire were referenced in video #1 and #2. Check the links on the sidebar.

Just to make this completely clear, the videos were for last year - GC 2008.

Also, removed the reminder to Martin from my post once I checked those videos again and found out that he was the one to convey the sad news about the wall of fire.

Damn those bureaucrats!

Pity the Saitek Cyborg Keyboard looks horrible. Unless you like the 80's vision of the future look. The Mouse on the other hand is great.

OT:
Would love to see pictures, wish I was going this year

I love the part about them training them to say "I cant tell you anything about Guild Wars 2" in German in that video.

I must admit that when I read "Gamescon Cologne" I immediately thought of some misguided marketing campaign for Calvin Klein or somesuch along these lines rather than a city...

Chuckle.

For those who don't get it, "killer games" is a German buzz word used to describe violent FPS used by the German media in the whole "video games are the devil and the cause of all violence everywhere."

Sorry to disappoint you. The only shirts legally allowed for distribution within the city limits of Cologne are those bearing the name or likeness of Lukas Podolski
