had a good time. glad to see everyone again and thank god Nulltard wasnt there. all he does it complain like a ragging slut!

Mathius · 07/13/2014, 12:34 AM

Was a great time! Former EGM review crew Martin Alessi stopped by the show. He met up with us at Roundhead's Pizza and we had a good 'ol chat. Later he and his wife took Ashe and me to EGM's old site to show us around and tell stories. It couldn't have been a better night for me (with the exception of the those who couldn't make it).

I'll get picks of the show up soon.

Just wanted to let everyone know that was at VGS, I made it home safe. I had a blast and as always enjoy hanging out with all the pcenginefx'ers. Also I want to give a special shout out to Chany and Dragonmasterdan for picking me up and driving me around town. I'm forever in your debt. If there is any way I can return the favor, please let me know.

Dragonmasterdan, I won't forget the time when my heart for beating out of my chest with the Resurrection Mary story after dropping off chop and the encounter we had with the homeless guy.

Here are some pics I took:)

Opethian · 07/13/2014, 04:09 PM

kon in effect! looks like a lot of fun. I hope to make Turbobfest this year!

Mathius · 07/13/2014, 06:17 PM

Here is a video of me winning the Tatsujin tournament. My wife took the video and she only filmed me. She was biased, I guess.

As soon as I get the pics uploaded to Photobucket I will get them posted here.

We were doing setup for Saturday on Friday night. I know some others went to GG though.

Bardoly · 07/14/2014, 10:45 AM

Sippin' some coffee this morning in this:

2nd place prize for Tatsujin! Woot!

jtucci31 · 07/14/2014, 11:08 AM

Are you also keeping warm this morning in your PAC-Man jacket?

Another successful Turbo Fest at the VGS. We had a great attendance at the show and there were lots of people participating in our tournaments. There were so many people that signed up for our Bomberman 94 tourney, we nearly had to create four brackets to accommodate them all. While many of the PCEFX regulars didn't attend, it was refreshing seeing new faces who had a genuine interest in the system. Seeing everyone have fun makes organizing these events totally worthwhile. Huge thanks goes to DragonmasterDan, Mathius and turbokon for helping me set up the gaming area. I couldn't have done it without you guys.

Here's a few pictures I took of the event.

The trophies for the champs:

Battle Lode Runner Champ: DragonmasterDan

Battle Lode Runner Runner Up: hizaygizirlz

Bomberman 94 Champion: Non-Pcefxer with a hat. Not pictured, 2nd place winner: DragonmasterDan

Tatsujin Champion: Mathius (128,600 points)

Below is the footage of his journey to victory:

Thank you for so many pleasant memories Heron Point Convention Center. It has been the home of the VGS for the past 10 years or so. We will be moving on to a bigger venue next year.

JoshTurboTrollX · 07/15/2014, 10:02 AM

Dan's expression holding the trophy may be the best thing I have ever seen.

I think the Almost #1 mug is the coolest prize, I so badly want one!! LOL

Looks like a great time, can't wait until 2015's offering!

NecroPhile · 07/15/2014, 10:43 AM

Heh, Dan looks positively ecstatic and Mathius looks high.

Paddyfitz18 · 07/15/2014, 01:17 PM

I had a really great time. Thanks gents.

Hey! You didn't say "Hi" to the skype group. ) :

That is my one regret from the day! I meant to do so, then time got away from me, then I forgot.

roflmao · 07/15/2014, 11:55 PM

I had a great time and I was only there via skype part of the time!

So much fun to chat with y'all even though I couldn't make it physically.

I had a super-blast at Nulltard's though. We played a sh*t-ton of obey and had a lot to drink.

(At least I did) That was mega-awesome.

I can't wait to see all of you again, hopefully soon!

esteban · 07/16/2014, 08:16 PM

ONE OF THESE YEARS I WILL BE IN THE DAMN PHOTOS.

The mugs are great.

Looks like everyone had a great time.

Before we're a bunch of old geezers I hope;)

aslbozz · 07/18/2014, 02:02 AM

Next year I may jump in on one of the tournaments.

Jordan · 07/23/2014, 05:29 AM

I got in third place in Tat

. Now I'm irritated

if I had known I would get close to that amazing second place mug I would have practiced more often. I'm glad it was Matt that won. Congrats Matt that was a great run

I'm glad Ash got it on video.

Dan Iacovelli · 09/29/2014, 06:34 PM

belated thanks to those made VGS 14 a great success.
TurboFest is only one of the 3 major events at VGS( Jagfest is one and Harmony games is the other)
here is the url to our 2014 photo gallery winch also include links to 2 highlight videos from the show:
http://videogamesummit.net/?page_id=805

plans for 2015 are being looked into and we are in contact with at least one new venue since we can't return to heron point( the people who run heron don't want to be connected to fairfeild inn,which put us in this position).
if you want to see VGS continue we need your help. by donating.
The Turbofest Tour shirt thats in pre-order status is an VGS Exclusive shirt since only list the VGS and Octurbofest dates (even though MGC turbofest is connected to the other two, I have decided not to include those dates since its would be odd to include an mgc item in vgs shop. any item in pre-order status has 30 days to get 10 orders to get moved into the shop or be removed)
if there is demand for general Turbofest section like I have the Jagfest section, there is chance I can add it to AVC news Stand, (Jagfest section started up 2007 which was the 10th anniversary of jagfest that started in il 1997,and there was a demand for it,even though that slowed down there are still plenty of jaguar fans out there)
will there be VGS 2015? maybe I should have news about it in coming weeks.

chany60126 · 09/29/2014, 08:07 PM

It's been a nice run of five straight turbo fests at VGS. Hopefully we can have a sixth one there next year.
