There was also an expo where the various sponsors and vendors strut their stuff, and give away free stuff even organize raffles and prizes like keyboards, gaming headsets, RAM, SSD drives, and even complete gaming systems. They were packed like any retail store and had great prices, too.
In short they had enough gear to build super high-end gaming PCs (including peripherals) from scratch if the only thing you brought with you was money. I even scored a new webcam for just 15 Euros (cheap, the way a Dutchy likes it).
The Expo didn’t just house gaming gear but also had a few other booths. Yes, Sweden actually cares! Sweden is a little more progressive than many other countries, and they had a public health booth informing everyone about safe sex. They gave away free condoms and even demonstrated their proper use (on many of the phallic devices they had on display). We can’t show the photos to the American audience, as OCmodshop is a family-friendly site ;)
They even had a workers union to make the younger people aware of their rights. The posters in the back say “My first time was Great, was Hell, was Invigorating”. Just to make sure they start their first summer job with knowledge.
The Universities were also present and where luring in people with liquid nitrogen and cool little tricks with floating magnets.
Qpad had a stand where you could try your luck against a pro CS:GO player. It was quite fun to watch some people try and actually get pretty far, but most of them went down rather quickly.
Also watching the Pros micromanaging units in Starcraft was pretty interesting to say the least.
