Well, its the morning after.  Fragapalooza is over, and I’m recovering.  I’m actually sitting outside writing this, enjoying the sun that I saw too little of for 4 days. Day 4 of Fragapalooza was largely un-eventful.  I played a couple of games of Starcraft II, but that was about it.  I spent most of my Read more...

I sit here typing this, on the Sunday morning of Fragapalooza exhausted.  Saturday lived up to it’s billing and tradition, and was my favorite day of the event.  Many games were played, several random contests were had in the middle of the night, and I got as little sleep as I could possibly get away Read more...

So. Many. Video. Games.  Played a lot yesterday.  A lot.  Games I played yesterday include Starcraft II, Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2: Deathmatch, Dawn of War II, Unreal Tournament 3, and League of Legends.  A few of these games, I’ve played a lot.  Games like Half Life 2: Deathmatch, I haven’t played since 2004.  Read more...

Well, we made it through an entire day of Fragapalooza without losing power.  That sounds trivial, but after going almost 18 hours without power last year, it is a pretty big deal.  That meant more time for games, trying to find games, and screaming at the trivia bot(more on that later).  Overall, Fragapalooza is off Read more...

This year is the 15th year of Fragapalooza, and my 5th year going.  As I have done for the previous two years, I will be blogging every day from Fragapalooza, to give a sense of what the event is like.  I enjoy doing it, and I’ve received good feedback about how I’ve shared my experience.

I’ve finally finished uploading pictures and videos I took at Fragapalooza this  year.  You can find the pictures as this flickr set. A all my Fragapalooza videos can be found here I don’t have much more to say about Fragapalooza this year, except that a week later I’m still recovering from the lack of sleep, Read more...

Sorry that I’m late on this, but after 4 straight days on a computer, I needed some time away. Day 3 of Fragapalooza started much like I started day 2, with a swim at the pool. I didn’t swim quite as hard as I only slept for about 5 hours, but it still felt really Read more...

Fragapalooza in 2009 had a very small “Tent City” for sleeping. You can see my post about it here.  This year is very different, as Tent City is actually outside, behind the venue.  I have a tent set up there, and have been using that to sleep in.  I’m not quite sure if I like Read more...

So, you didn’t get a blog post from me about day 1 of Fragapalooza simply because there was no way for me to do said blog.  Day 1 of Fragapalooza was plagued with power issues.  We actually had no power at all from 10:30pm on Thursday night until around 11am on Friday. And even then, Read more...

This post coming to you live from Fragapalooza 2010!  Not much to report on, literally just got everything setup and working.  Looks like less than half the people are here so far, and it’s pretty quiet. Next up is figuring out where I’m pitching the tent, and getting that going. For now, a picture: Tweet
