The event, stretched among five convention-size hotels in downtown Atlanta, brought in more than 50,000 people to celebrate every walk of geek culture, ranging from video games, comic books, anime, and other related subjects. There were countless discussion panels, costume play (cosplay), vendors, art, and so much more going on at the show that it nearly seemed impossible to see it all.
