News Bits: 8/20/2012

For those of us who had to live vicariously through GenCon attendees, this past week was rough. Not only did we have to live through the bragging tweets of "Look what I got!"—inevitably followed up by the news that "THIS GAME IS SOLD OUT FOREVER"—we had to live through the long periods of radio silence as people selfishly played games instead of tweeting about them. Oh well. For some GenCon recaps, here are some various sources:

• Fantasy Flight released a video update for each day of the con (1, 2, 3, 4).
• Board Game Geek News points to some first- and secondhand sources for GenCon updates.
• Dice Hate Me has a pictorial overview of his time at GenCon.
• Finally, Matt Carlson of The Opinionated Gamers has a pretty comprehensive overview, as does Dale Yu.

Stay tuned as I'm sure our own @Futurewolfie reports on his own (condensed) time at the con.
