Origins 2007 Exhibit Hall Video

The following article was imported from our old content management system on 08/10/2008. It may contain missing links and missing images which we do not plan to go back and correct.We apologize for any inconvenience.

I took the following video in the Origins 2007 Exhibit Hall (Dealer Room) around 5:30pm on the Friday of the convention. I had 30 minutes to shoot the footage, and I had to rush to make sure I got in as much as possible. Then, I decided to squeeze the whole thing into YouTube’s limitations, which are a single 100MB video file of no more than 10 minutes in length. The result, below, is what it might look like if you had only 10 minutes in the Origins Exhibit Hall and wanted to see what was there…

This, I believe, concludes my coverage of Origins 2007. You’ve now seen on this site all the pictures I snapped, nearly all the video I shot (I have more but you’re not missing much), the notes I took, demos I played, etc. This is as close as I can get you to actually being there.

I’m planning to attend Gen Con Indy 2007 next month, barring anything unforeseen. I’ll probably cover it in at least as much detail here.

“An infectiously fun non-collectable card game for 2-4 players of age 12 and older, Infernal Contraption pits goblin mechanics against each other in a race to assemble often-backfiring, nigh-uncontrollable magical machines. Through the strategic placement of arcane components like arcantric funnels, chthonic grinders, and entropic processors, these gobbers risk life and limb to overcome the competition with the ultimate Infernal Contraption.”
