Midway through the Penny-Arcade Expo, and I’m in a bit of a funk. Amongst all the cool games (especially the table-top and board games), and oozing passion of all the gamers and fans, I’m sad that I can’t be the geek I’d like to be.

Between work and family life, I can barely squeeze in a few rounds of Soul Calibur, let alone embark on a D&D campaign or horde miniatures for a Warhammer battle. Never mind how Fallout 3 is taunting me with its 100+ hours of gameplay. I think I’m gonna cry…

Though, last night wandering the gaming halls past midnight (FYI, things run until 3am each day!), lurking/observing all the awesome gaming going on, I did bump into a couple of guys cracking open Samurai. I said, Hey, I know that game, mind if I join you?

It’s quick.
