The poor fellow right above you (in the blue shirt) has a look has his face, that to me is just priceless,
Hah! That was the first guy I noticed, too. It also started me thinking about the GT I attended in Seattle last weekend and everyone was pretty noisy (Although it wasn\'t as bad as last year, when all of fantasy and most of 40k was crammed into one conferance hall at a hotel), and there weren\'t any GW people encouraging people to be noisy or anything--no reward for it, so far as I could tell (except, I suppose, so far as the enthusiasm made your opponent think you were a good sportsman..).
Anyway, part of it might just be the game itself. There\'s something really satisfying about _really_ good rolls that just mow through your opponent. And who can resist yelping when someone does exactly that to you?
On the last day, Sunday, there was a comic book convention at the sea hawks stadium and I saw a fair number of people wandering around carrying bags that clearly marked them as comic-book people. They usually looked baffled or confused, although some of them seemed right at home (they were probably other lackeys like myself who had made a side-trip to the comic book convention).
I also saw one group of unfortunates who accidently came in our entrance instead of the comic-book entrance. They looked very confused and left quickly.
