This sounds about right:

"We had to line up for 30 minutes or so, and people LOST THEIR ******* MINDS. I heard one girl compare her situation to Auschwitz, and another was repeatedly screaming that she would sue the hotel if she got bitten by any bugs. Eventually people just decided to Braveheart it and charge in by any means possible, like these old-timers who are scrambling through the ******* wilderness like they're running away from Predator."

When I went last year I thought the other shows (Pulse, Scope, etc) were better than Basel. It's weird he didn't mention them. I didn't go this year, and from photos have not seen much that looks good. I liked these though...
