+KaeruYojimbo Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 They're letting people back in now, so it seems like it wasn't serious. Where were you when the fire alarm went off?

If I remember my elementary school fire safety assembly correctly, that's the safest place to be. (I always though going all the way to Virginia was a little extreme, but I'm no fire safety expert so what do I know?)

+KylJoy Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 I've heard multiple stories about the fire alarm. Al told me that he was told it was something setting off a sensor but I asked an event security dude and he said someone pulled an alarm.

+frankodragon Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Makes anyone wonder if someone was trying to drop anchor in the restroom while that was going on. Bet the guy in the Psyduck costume pulled it.

I was there as well,I enjoyed that panel quite a bit. I had always wondered does he make games then adds Jeff Minter visualizations or make Jeff Minter visualizations and add gameplay and I now conclude the answer is "yes" Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/373065-where-were-you-when-the-fire-alarm-went-off/#findComment-5540580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Pac-Lander Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Yeah that was crazy! We were just about to start the Q&A with Brian Volk-Weiss and Bryan Adams (How Gaming Influenced "The Toys that Made Us"), and the fire alarm went off. It was a great panel discussion and they seemed excited to spend the last 12 minutes or so to do the Q&A. Definitely was a bummer! Maybe the only one in an otherwise epic weekend.
