I went to Melbourne for the first time from 21-24 of October. I did a lot of things for the first time, like riding a tram. :D

While exploring the CBD, I stumbled upon the Screen Worlds exhibition at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. Now I watch the Angry Video Game Nerd regularly and have grown quite fond of these retro consoles that were before my time. I never thought I’d be able to play and touch some of these consoles, quite a special moment. :3

My first home console was the SNES so just being able to touch the NES and Famicom controllers felt quite awesome.

Later on I went to check out the Melbourne Museum behind the Royal Exhibition Building.

There I discovered an old cars exhibition. Now, I’m not usually into cars but these drew me in because they reminded me of the cars you drive in Grand Theft Auto. Sure it sounds silly, but I would have just walked past it otherwise.

<3 Retro

Other nerdy things I did was visit the EB games there that had 2 levels devoted to Nintendo and also I played the Kinect for the first time in the library :p
