Quote from: SignOfZeta on 02/10/2013, 01:39 PMIt looks like I'll be going to this show. Since I never planned on making it to MGC I never really looked into it much. Now that I've seen this video I'm really impressed!

Does anyone want me to bring anything? I'm not sure if I have anything you don't already have a million of but if you are looking for anything in particular I might have it. The only thing I know I'm bringing for sure is my Neo Geo Pocket and all the linkable games I have since I so rarely get to do the link thing with this system.

Pm'd you

You should bring Jboy with you ;)

I would love to, but its not very easy to get him to go places. I can't even get him to visit my house!

This shall be epic!

uh oh, more nerds...
heh, kidding, looking forward to seeing you there!

3 weeks to go...

Pre-orders end very soon along with the 2-day discount for pre-orders.

Later.

Other than getting the $ to the organizers sooner, so that they can pay for what they need to pay for, is there any benefit to preordering? My sister and I are planning to come, I just haven't gotten around to buying our tickets yet.

Beyond helping us grow the show this year, the main thing would be the discount. This year we are going to allow people to buy two-day passes at the door, but it would be at a higher rate than we are currently offering on the site as of today. We're also planning on some improvements to the ticket system if you're going to be with us Friday night so you spend less time waiting in line Saturday morning.

Later.

Bardoly · 03/03/2013, 03:53 PM

Got ya'. Since we live about 2 and a half hours away in Northwest Indiana, we are just going to head out early Saturday morning to get there at the beginning, then stay as late as we can and then drive back home late that night, so the 2-day passes won't help us. I'll go ahead and get our tickets now. I was just curious.

By the way, if anyone else lives in the Northwest Indiana or Chicago area is coming and needs a ride or wants to carpool to save some gas $, just PM me, and we can probably work something out.

DHG Hunter · 03/04/2013, 07:47 PM

There's also things like the Tom Taylor tour for pre-orders, but that is Friday.

Hope to see you Saturday, then!

Later.

Flare65 · 03/05/2013, 04:57 PM

I'll be there.

JoshTurboTrollX · 03/06/2013, 05:33 PM

Most likely won't be able to make it.

Was thinking I could squeeze in a one day road trip to come see you guys, but now even that probably won't be happening. I hope we'll swing out to VGS in July or maybe another OcTurboFest again at GG. That was the Bee's Knees!!

Regardless, I plan on coming to MGC in 2014- So I might as well just start planning for that epic meetup!!

DHG Hunter · 03/06/2013, 08:53 PM

Won't be the same without you Josh! Do try to make it if you can, though I understand what you're going through is more than a handful!

Later.

Bardoly · 03/10/2013, 01:36 AM

Only two more weeks! I can't wait!

I hope that many of the forum folk can come.

nectarsis · 03/14/2013, 09:17 PM

Does anyone coming to the show have an extra Neo Geo stick available as I only have 1 to furnish?

Tatsujin · 03/14/2013, 09:19 PM

Damn, again can't make it this year as well

HAVE FUN GUYS

I have two sticks available, Neccler. I only claimed one to save on space but if you need it I will bring it.

One day, Tats. We'll have you, Sparky, etc there to join in on the festivities.

Neccler, why exactly do you need the stick? JD says we are covered. I'll bring it if you need it. That's not a problem. I was just curious.

nectarsis · 03/14/2013, 09:46 PM

Oh didn't know we were covered. When I signed up to bring my MVS he asked if I had 2 sticks, I only have 1 so I thought we needed an extra

jeffhlewis · 03/14/2013, 10:10 PM

Fellas - if anyone has an extra guncon or 2, please bring 'em along in your suitcase. we have enough but we might need a backup.

Nectarsis - you have that Point Blank guncon 1 right?

Yep game/guncon is ready to go ;)

I am pretty sure JD is an android programmed to organize video game conventions. If we do need an extra stick we'll open his maintenance port and root around with a two-by-four to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Meh, nothing to it... The AES starts in the Console Wars section Saturday with the two sticks that Jeff is providing for Sunset Riders while the MVS Nectarsis is providing will be in its spot on Saturday with his stick and Mati's stick; and then on Sunday the MVS will move out and the AES will take its place and use the stick from Nectarsis and the stick from Mati, while the sticks that Jeff will be providing will head over to Sunset Riders so we can do four players again.

I don't see what's so hard about that? ;)

Seriously, I do think we're covered, but never hurts to have a few backups as Jeff is asking for with Guncons...

Later.

ParanoiaDragon · 03/15/2013, 12:40 AM

I was just curious if anyone is gonna be showing off any homebrew stuffs at MGC? I'm sure if Arky's there, then Insanity, PP, & Atlantean will be shown off(maybe more?). Unless I missed something, I don't think we'll be there, atleast, I know I won't be, & I'm not sure that we have anything different enough to present there as far as Jungle Bros. or Dragon Arm goes, though, Mysterious Song is out, so maybe someone's peddling that there?

BlueBMW · 03/15/2013, 12:44 AM

I should have a guncon or two

Would be fren

SignOfZeta · 03/15/2013, 04:50 AM

So who all is going to this? It seems like about a half dozen of us.

Quote from: SignOfZeta on 03/15/2013, 04:50 AMSo who all is going to this? It seems like about a half dozen of us.

I think it's actually more than a dozen. Last year we had Ash, Matti, Beemer, Nectarsis, Majors, Jeff, myself, Bartre, Mishran, Cdamm, Chop5, Chany, DragonMasterDan, and I think a few others. I think this year's will have EVEN MORE!!

majors · 03/15/2013, 09:23 AM

Con conflicts, grrrr. I'll be there in spirit! Drink a few rounds of Spotted Cow for me. I know the hotel get's another keg just for me and Jeff that weekend, so he is gonna have to step up.

Pic's! ...of course.

Bardoly · 03/15/2013, 11:27 AM

Yesterday, I finally bought the tickets for my sister and I for Saturday only. Since we're only 2-2 1/2 hours away, we're going to just leave early Saturday morning, stay all day, then come back late Saturday evening.

If anyone in the Chicago area wants to go but doesn't have a ride, then let me know, and maybe we can work out a carpool or something.

By the way, I can bring some stuff, if anyone would like.

Kind of up in the air yet which is not where I'd like it with a week to go, hehe. Let's just say we haven't announced any indie stuff for the show, but there is still a possibility that there will be some at the show.

Later.

DHG Hunter · 03/18/2013, 11:16 PM

Quickly... Already on the official site, but we're scheduled to have Pyramid Plunder and Mysterious Song in the DHG Room of the MGC this year. Both games will likely be on display both days, all day, though we may sneak some Insanity and Jungle Bros. in there.

Later.

tggodfrey · 03/19/2013, 04:12 PM

I will be there Saturday with Jessica. Not sure about Sunday, I might.

I plan on taking a wrong turn somewhere in Illinois and ending up in Belleville, Ontario, Canada.
so to those of you going to MGC, and not planning on ending up somewhere completely different, I hope you have a good time!

kidding, of course, already packed up and ready to go!

Not looking forward to Friday morning; not going to lie. The hangover is going to be brutal at 7am and I've got about 3 truckloads of CRT's to deliver, plus all my systems and games. Thank god I live close!

jeffhlewis · 03/21/2013, 01:09 PM

Chris and I should be there around 8-8:30 A.M. or so. I have most everything packed up.

Our first run in the morning is going to be as many TVs as we can fit in the truck, then we'll be making a second run for the equipment/games/etc. hopefully everything works, haha
