Short version: OGC Rocked!

Long version: I ran 3 games and played 4. Each game was a blast and although at the end of it I was exhausted, I was totally satisfied. In fact I was jazzed up enough to start working on the games for next year as soon as I go home. My wife couldn't figure out how I could even think about gaming after a 72 marathon.

Some highlights:
- Accidentally activating an earth elemental guardian while sneaking around by myself and leading it back to the party who were already engaged in a pitched battle.
- Standing around a table with a dozen other players, only a few of whom had even a general idea of the rules, playing the most chaotic game of Mutants and Masterminds ever.
- Plotting with my in-game sister, sitting on my left, to kill her in-game husband, sitting on my right, with the GM having no clue.
- Watching an against-all-the-odds plan to trip a gargantuan sea-monster succeed spectacularly.
- Playing an over-the-top man of adventure who considered every other member of the party either a pale shadow of his own manliness or a babe to hit on.
- Executing a panicked plan of scorched earth during a Cthulhu game when the party members suddenly got their memories back and realized they were mythos-busters on an island packed with mythos related artifacts. Said plan including:
 -- Smashing a lighthouse lens especially ground to summon an elder god
 -- Turning the lighthouse into a 100' pillar of flame
 -- Defacing a pentacle drawn in blood by peeing on it and scraping it away.
 -- Destroying an ancient tablet with a fireplace poker and a bottle of acid
 -- Incinerating five ghouls and a byahkee with an ether filled room and a match
 -- Four PCs blowing away a single possessed professor with various firearms.
 -- Eliminating the real threat, a herald of an elder god, with 2 sticks of dynamite and a grenade. The latter being left inside it as it coalesced into its material form.

Yeah, that was awesome. Can't wait 'til next year!
