February 26, MSI and NVIDIA video cards were presented.
For this event, the organizers have chosen a very specific place -
the Tagan Art Hall .
I was called there too ...
- “Dzyyn-tyyn”
- "... pschschschsch ... I'm listening to you!"
- "Hello, I am on the agenda ..."

- “Come on. Pi-and-and ... "
')
A narrow checkpoint ... old wooden doors, with crumbling paint ... a frame imitating a metal detector, blue uneven walls - all this prepared me for even greater sensations.
The first turn, and here they are - wide-open iron doors with handles and levers.


A good guard escorted me and a bearded uncle, with a companion, to a special lift, on which we were destined to descend to Moscow at 65 meters.
(in the photo, of course, there is no bearded guy)In the elevator was ... "on duty", he hung up the phone and we went)

Coming out of the special lift and passing into the tunnel (you can’t call it a corridor), you can immediately feel the stale "dusty" air,
hear the distinct noise of the metro. Wires hang everywhere, light bulbs on the "snot", dark-red-brown walls put pressure on the chest.
I arrived, apparently early, because people are not visible.






There they are - people at the reception desk, handing out badges :)
They demanded a summons, were treated with goodies, put on a badge and sent me further along MSI paper signs.

And then there was a hall with a wardrobe, decorated with works in the style of "steampunk". It has become freer, but the air is still heavy.

(Interestingly, on the walls, MSI left the swipes? Very similar to the hieroglyphs :)


Along the corridor there are rooms for different purposes, for example, here, apparently, once there were barracks:

Finally, having reached the necessary room, I saw all the attributes of civilization - computers, TVs, video cards stands were in the dark room along the walls, a presentation hall was organized on the entrance side: chairs, large screen, microphones - everything is as it should be.
The most impatient already with might and main communicated, looked, felt ...

But because of what everyone gathered:









Field kitchen
Of course, someone was more important food / water / binge - here the organizers respected all those present:
- tea, coffee, cola
- cookies (!)
- salads
- pizza
- Alcohol (was available after the official presentation): beer, bacardi
Everything is in prosperity, considering that about 1/3 of people did not come (we will deal with them a bit later :).
Official part
About an hour later, the presenter, Anna Drapeza (MSI), barely tore the draftees from the field kitchen — the martinet rushed to the big screen.

(Kevin Young emphasizes the use of military components in their video cards, which explains the choice of location for the presentation)
(Andrey Komissarov (NVIDIA), opening remarks)As a representative of gamer.ru, I was very surprised at how long Andrei Komissarov represented gamers)
Naturally, who, if not gamers, will be able to appreciate all the delights of new technologies (:
I will not dwell on the presentations, for me it has always been not interesting figures and promotional graphics.
In short: we were told about the MSI Lightning series, about various solutions based on NVIDIA, about 3D VISION technology.
Free flight
After the presentation, the field kitchen was ready to accept all the hungry and thirsty, the draftees were taken to the shooting range, given out spets and allowed to speak loudly).
(stick 3D)
(yes, why not?)
(shooting range, especially distinguished awarded flash drives)
(the guys from steampunker.ru, of a kind, the only ones at the presentation)
(cute eye :)
(is he on purpose?)
(what? oh who's that ?? won't get a prize ...)
(the toilet has kept the surroundings)








Dodgers detected!
(the gamer.ru administration has a good reason :)
(They were all promised to be brought in with the police, but never brought)Thanks to all the organizers for the excellent conduct of the event and for the opportunity to visit it)
PS That all the agenda would be so pleasant)
UPD. Transferred to the "Iron" - it seems most suitable.
