OR, you could get a LOT more game convention with lots of TT and other gaming in,,,

http://www.gamestorm.org/

and see what a REAL gamecon is thats run by gamers for gamers and the ilk.

and its NOT a corporate fake convention for profits, but a non-profit. (hospitality room= free eats and non booze drinks pretty much all day n night) (and room parties as well) (and, ACTUAL HOT BABES EVERYWHERE who are hardcore gamers)


Seriously.. did you just state that no attractive women play MWO? or would show up to an event like this? I was at the Steam Launch Party. plenty of hot girls, most of whom were gamers, i.e. BB Wolfe (not sure if i spelled her name right, but she'd remember me, "Backpack guy" ;) ).

great food (Crab dumplings were sooo good). and the sneak peaks were great (i knew about everything coming in Phase 3 a lot earlier)

and FYI..... sheesh, it's their first EVER MechCon. if people actually SUPPORT them in this, it'll get better.

just because this is a con that's different to what you're used to doesn't make it any less of one.

will say this though, PGI: Remember the fixings for Bloody Caesars this time :D they're the only drink more Canadian than beer ;)

BC is so beautiful, the last thing I would want to do is go to a banquet hall.

LOL. I actually have a bunch of patches that I bought way back when. Still in their original packages and unopened. Suppose I could make a uniform, or uniforms. But then again....I couldn't bring myself to open them up after all this time. Posted Image

Cool!!
I’m only 8 hour drive away from Van. Hmm… tempting!

I’m not very social, so I probably won’t go. Lol.
It would be kinda cool to experience though. And if I take the wife, we can always do other things afterwards.
Will there be Mech action figures? Posted Image I’d almost go just for that if I knew I’d get one haha.

Travel (gas, round trip): $100
Room (two nights): $150 - $350
Two Event Tickets: $120
Pre-event dinner, and morning-of breakfast: $40 - $100, depending on what we choose to eat.

Budget: $670.00
Not to mention all the shopping we’ll probably be doing lol.
All things considered, and that tickets are only $60 for a staffed event (with prizes, meals, and drinks), it’s very cheap! I'd almost be stupid not to go!

8 hour drive in Canada... in December... you're braver than I am :D For me it's going to be a flight. Having family in Vancouver/on the island helps though.

What would be totally awesome if PGI designed and developed their own Mech-warrior Online TESLA PODS. With throttles, pedals, joystick, and multiple screen displays to add to the realism.

It would even be awesome if the final contenders for the championships had to play in the PODS. No more Keyboard and Mouse...it would be chaotic but entertaining for sure.

This would be epic and get the true essence of piloting a battlemech into a fight.

Forced joystick usage would be cool.
