Sunday was a slightly less busy than the previous days were, at least until later in the day.
The second tournament I'd signed up for, Mario Kart DS was a complete and utter disaster for me. In the group of 8 I was put into I managed to finish rock bottom! I can only blame that everyone was playing as Shy Guy in order to even the odds, and I could never get the hang of Snaking.
In the Exhibition hall again I had a look round some of the other stands. I bought a few event T-shirts, as well as some Pocky for work. I also had a good look at The Behemoth/Newgrounds stand where they were demoing their new game that will be on Xbox Live Arcade soon, Castle Crashers. The best way to describe it would be to think of a cross between Golden Axe, Metal Slug and River City Ransom, but with the same graphic style as their previous titles, Alien Hominid for the PS2 and Gamecube, and the Flash game Dad N Me. Also Tom Fulp will forever be known as a renegade folk hero by out-freebie-ing the US Army, by giving away T-shirts, copies of Alien Hominid for PS2 and even some of their limited edition vinyl models .
By 3pm I started queuing for the Omegathon final, which was the best decision I'd made all day. By the time the doors opened to let everyone in, the queue had gone right up to the top floor and back down again. It was crazy full! It was around this time I had my highlight of the day, a 1 on 1 race against NOA-Andy, one of the site admins at Nintendo of America.
The Omegathon final itself was a surprise, last years runner up managed to wipe the floor with the other finalist at 1st to 30 lines Tetris. The prize he walked away with was an XBox360, plus the car it was mounted in. With all the mods and stuff they'd done to the car, they essentially doubled its price. Impressive stuff.
So that was it. I headed back to the hotel and started packing for my trip home...

Much of that is lost on me. I have played MarioKart, but I couldn't get the hang of staying on the track.
