Last night I went out to Albany to support Zero Gravity
with their first weekend operating with the Helios Pro equipment. Although it's
bittersweet because I do have a soft spot in my heart for Infusion, this is a
big step forward and I was excited to play a few rounds. I said I would only
play moderately to save my full force for the next day's tournament...ha! Well,
I really didn't go full out, but I did play about 10 back to back games and had
a blast with the various players who came out to experience the new system.
I haven't gotten to play a tremendous amount of Helios
Pro games in public matches...actually most of my experience with it came
during last year's Philly Invites, so this was a night of learning and
experimenting. They have installed gems throughout the arena for power-ups. At
one point I decided to wait to get my base until I had the "multiply
score" come up...however it didn't actually multiply my base score...well,
good to find out now, so I don't waste effort trying to make that happen. I
enjoyed getting my shot timing down and felt like I had pretty much gotten the
rhythm after the first game.
The evening ended with a round of free for all. I hadn't
intended to keep going that long...but who could resist.
Then it was back home early (relatively) for a Saturday
night at tag. Had to return to check in on my new pet. I just adopted a baby
gecko and I have named him Leon. A few of you might understand the laser tag
symbolism in that. If not, maybe this photo will make it more evident...
Can't wait to get back to Albany again. Had a great time
and I look forward to seeing what they do to grow their member base and
competitive scene now.
