cyberjim2000 is the official winner of the Gamania Game Package! (Send me your address by PM, cyberdude.) I'm not even going to tell you guys how many questions he got right, because frankly, he won by default. Yep, he's pretty much the only one who entered. So there's no need for leaderboards. Instead, let's just talk about the Gamania Prize Package I've scrapped together for the guy.

[Edit: Okay, so I'm a little late on the haiku thing. So how about this? If you write a haiku on how awesome Gamania is, I'll give you a bonus +1 point.]

Earlier, I said there would be a Gamania contest. How well have you been reading and listening?

Well, the first person to answer the following ten questions correctly in a Private Message to me, Nick_Tan, will automatically be the winner. Everyone will be ranked by the number of correct answers given and then by the time of submission. Results and leaderboards will be posted on Monday. Sabotage I don't know about is fair game.

The winner will receive one-of-a-kind Gamania schwag, as well as some special prizes from our very GR office, that I am willing to give away because my ninja clan is forcing me to take a test of sacrifice. Five runner-ups will receive the large Gamania picnic mat above. (No booze included. We need them.)

[Here's a cheat sheet. Now go! Before we sick a Taiwanese Spiders on you!]

1) Okay, first, an easy one: In what city and country did the first Gamania Game Show take place?

2) What are the five main games (not just four) that Gamania showed at their first Gamania Game Show?

3) Which game of the five is most associated with a pocketwatch?

4) Which game of the five is most associated with a Tuner?

5) Which game of the five is Gamania pushing the most for the Western market?

6) What is Gamania's motto?

7) How does Gamania CEO Albert Liu wish to innovate with MMORPGs in the online space?

8) What is the game that inspired Albert Liu to become a game designer?

9) According to Albert Liu and Yuwei Chang, what is one of the main differences between being a successful GM in the US and one in Japan?

10) What was the first game we previewed that was developed by Gamania?

11) Freebie: How awesome is Gamania?

I will not apologize that grumpy. I have only a day of my life.

Also, this is day 0, because the Gamania game show really until morning starts not, but I just as well, which started get could, while I'm still awake.

I came Kraus at San Francisco International Airport, with the helpful drive from jade from game informer, at 16: 20 on Monday. I had the opportunity that morning walk down to the Chinese supermarket Ranch 99 walked about five minutes from my house for dim sum, but since I to Taiwan, I wanted not to the experience ruin. Instead, I had no Mayo comes with my stomach full with Jack in the box - an extreme sausage and three chicken of sandwiches with bacon. Nothing like good ol' ' fast-food, before I forget what tastes America.

After a meeting with Josh Laddin - who saw a last episode of mad Menvia Netflix at the airport of crappy Wi-Fi - at the gate, I found, 63 H, on a level, nearly 70 lines mean that today only about one-fifth of the maximum passengers. Josh and I were immediately giddy with the idea of horizontal sleep and leg.

I was also surprised the entertainment package: Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Super 8, bridesmaids, Flash, Taiwanese Mahjong, Sudoku, three versions of Pong. With laptop on hand, I was full and ready for a 12-hour flight across the Pacific Ocean. (Side note: turbulence is the enemy of the 3ds.)

The flight prepared me for other thing that ever can be me the Chinese-American like me. I'm not fluent Chinese Mandarin or Cantonese but I naturally look Chinese. So I get the pleasure of experiencing unique facial expressions of the Taiwanese attendants Taiwanese flights expected Taiwanese-looking people, Chinese speak, before you the instructions to me in English to repeat.... Or their hand gestures with smiles, which hides her disappointment. I expect to see this everywhere I go to Taiwan. Of course I am not my fault it at all project. Shut up. Do not understand me! I kill you!

We met also Avery WONG, cool, all-around awesome developer/freelance photojournalist, which one of those thousand dollar-instant cameras around his neck, which makes all other camera appearance... I hate him. His room number is 1010. We live in the Park Taipei Hotel. (GR is not responsible for all the murders, which can happen as a result of this blog post.)

With the long flight and international timeline shenanigans Josh and I stumbled in Taipei on Tuesday 22: 00 28 hours? Ugh. Help. Luckily we had with the remembered me enough energy - and hunger - to study the near proximity of our hotel, Hong Kong a little bit of Tokyo. Within a three block radius, there were four 7-Eleven and only a Starbucks. Yes, we are in any case half way around the world. (I let Josh of the special "console" show that we have seen it.)

That is to say, I went stripes, a milk tea and two way to a family Mart and dried fish to hot, way to oversteamed rolls. So no matter... suck shops everywhere. (I added the belt because belt make everything more exciting.)

Check back with Josh and me, of the week like the Gamania Conference in the course on.
