Rick Allen is a nice guy and other tales...

As some of you may or may not know, Nvidia was once again at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) again this year. Since I attended for the first time this year, I knew I just had to introduce myself to persons over at Nvidia's booth. All of Nvidia's booth peoples were very nice and very knowledgable but Rick and I ended up spending some quality time together. Rick is currently the PR (Public Relations) Manager of Nvidia's Notebook segment. When we were talking, I had to admit to him that we have not gotten around to adding the most recent Nvidia (or ATI) notebook graphics cards to our site yet (we will Rick, I promise!).

On Tuesday I will have more time to tell you about Rick and the stuff we talked about and did together. I have some pictures and some audio I will be sharing with you guys. Right now I am going to continue to enjoy the rest of my vacation here in Seattle. Meet me back here on Tuesday OK?

Note: I will of course not allow my relationship with Rick to compromise my journalistic integrity here at GPUReview.com.

EDIT:

Because of my return flight I was awake for more than 28 hours once I got back on Tuesday. So yeah, once I got home I slept until this morning. I will post the stuff I promised tonight. 

EDIT 2: The Editening

I have taken a few precious seconds to upload a new picture of Rick (and me) for you folks. If you look at the white pin that I am wearing, you may learn something about me. If you choose to utilize this information let me say this: I only have one game right now but I would enjoy chatting with you. Also, this has to be the best picture of me that I have ever seen. I am glad I made the effort to be clean shaven and slathered with antiperspirant (even though I was unable to "hook up" with one of the 40 females that were in attendance) while I was at PAX.

Rubbing elbows with the big wig eh? Seems interesting, and it probably good for the site. Looking forward to hearing more.

lol. the Rick is holding on to a Radeon 8800XT, should be a GeForce 8800XT, but anyway, is that a old graphic card or a new one?

The hilarity now inherent in seeing a Radeon 8800xt.

I never thought someone would vacation in Seattle since there seems little to do here. Of course that's from someone who lived here all my life. Pike place market, a duck ride and the Pacific Science center near the needle. If you are downtown skip Starbucks since it's coffee is weak and go to either nordstrom's or Juan's at the base of Macy's. Starbuck's has been weak since they switched to automatic machines with a 6 sec pull time years ago.

The columbia tower has a better view than the needle and it's only $5/person. Doesn't spin around though.

Wow, nice to see GFX card enthusiasts know that ATI started the Radeon series with the 9xxx versions..... *cough*dolts*cough*
