somebody is hopping around in a jiangshi getup. the masculine build and shoulders that yell "baltimore ravens" suggest uhrman? #ouyaunveil- 12 graves with strange markings have appeared on stage. a wandering dog is howling at them periodically #ouyaunveil
- lights go down, spotlight on the hopping zombie. a mask with a long grey beard and an "O" on the front #ouyaunveil
- the mask comes off! it's uhrman and she seems positively entranced. she begins a dance, the dog is scared, trying to exit stage #ouyaunveil
- the crowd is silent. the dog is crying now. frantic. uhrman is taunting it with aggressive hopping, he hides behind graves #ouyaunveil
- music is slowly fading in, my cantonese speaking guest informs me that it's chanting in mandarin. creepy. #ouyaunveil
- the dog is growing ever more scared, trying to get through the curtain now. julie hops, unrelenting, impassive #ouyaunveil
- music stops, julie halts in an awkward position, like a maquette fell off a truck. security remove the dog. graves remain #ouyaunveil
- "join me" she yells, the enormous plastic ouya begins to glow, alternating red and green, pulsing ever faster #ouyaunveil
- screens turn on, expecting a video package shortly. announcing exclusives? fingers crossed #ouyaunveil
- aaaand it's a fake out, we have smoke machines, and some kind of awful green hologram is being projected onto the smoke #ouyaunveil
- i can't make out any of this text, honestly i'm not even sure it's in english. julie is nodding, clapping, yelling. #ouyaunveil
- the text stops and some kind of cloaked figure is projected onto the smoke, honestly this part looks pretty cool #ouyaunveil
- "i have tamed great death and returned our old masters to the grave" announced julie. well, uh, ok then. now a video package #ouyaunveil
- well folks, i can officially announce it. lots of zombie games. the thrilling creativity of the indie crowd at work #ouyaunveil
- in between every game (almost all of them zombie games) a bunch of words flash up. can't make them out though, blurry #ouyaunveil
- please welcome... long pause. uncomfortably. #ouyaunveil
- bobby kotick #ouyaunveil
- lots of boring marketing speak, the cloaked figure is now actually physically wandering around on stage #ouyaunveil
- the three of them join hands and are proud to announce... #ouyaunveil
- they open their mouths and ethereal figures pour out and into the room. speaking of "enslaving the flesh", thanking backers #ouyaunveil
- great and brutal titans of history are hurling an effervescent dust into the air, which coagulated into backer numbers #ouyaunveil
- my number is up! i'm told i'm going to be taken to the "land of endless pity". didn't familiarise myself with the tent though #ouyaunveil
- a great metal ring in which a swirling, viscous liquid is suspended vertically is on stage. being taken to it now #ouyaunveil
- "you who were blind, wavering in your faith, shall see what lies beneath the thin veneer of your reality". olives running low. #ouyaunveil
