Articles: Digital Life: Day 1 in Photos [Written 2006-10-15]

I've compiled a set of photos I took around the conference. Watch out for Pac Man sightings! Digital Life, a conference that showcases consumer electronics, online ventures, emerging technology and - of course, as a result - videogames, is open to the public for a small fee. This year, Digital Life is currently taking place between Thursday, October 12th, 2006 and Sunday, October 15th, 2006. Held in the Jacob Javits Convention Center on 34th Street between 11th Avenue and the West Side Highway in New York City, Digital Life hadn't been a huge showcase for videogame-related content in its two previous years - although last year did show the potential for expanding upon this when Microsoft held live Xbox 360 demonstrations and Nintendo set up a very small area to showcase new offerings like Mario Kart DS for the Nintendo DS. There was a pre-show event on Thursday, but AnTiPoDe and I first headed towards the conference on Friday, the conference's first "real" day, for a few hours. We spent the day chatting with Xbox Live Arcade program managers, dabbling in some retro-gaming with Xbox Live Arcade and Gametap, and proving our sight-reading skills to the mostly Easy-Medium crowd at Guitar Hero II by co-op playing an amazing first run-through of Beast and the Harlot by Avenged Sevenfold on Expert. (And... Misirlou got some playtime. On Expert. You shouldn't expect any less from us. ^_^) There was some Playstation 3 and Wii action to be had as well, though their offerings weren't as substantial as the multiple Xbox 360 and Playstation 2 kiosks scattered everywhere (the latter thanks to Guitar Hero II and Final Fantasy XII). Expect write-ups of hands-on impressions and observer impressions on the following topics for Day 1, but first - and more importantly - I've compiled a set of photos I took around the conference. Watch out for Pac Man sightings! Hit the link after the topics below.
