The Violent Combat Robot Show does not have the funding to attend such a function. Alas, the Podcaster's Cup must go uncontested.

It's a shame that the NGNG guys get such a favorable treatment compared to other fan organizations.

You know would be really nice? if it was in Vancouver, where PGI is based, but no, of course we can't do that, we have to have it down in the States somewhere. Way to represent your hometown PGI.

No, it would be really nice if it were on the weekend!

I live 35 minutes south of San Francisco, but taking off September 26th to play would be professionally imprudent.

wow you guys should practice being humble. The fact that they are even having a fan fest of sorts is pretty cool. I don't think you guys made it to the planning committee so i am pretty sure they are doing it in Cali because of cost. E3 happens in cali along with some other pretty cool events and to rent buildings out there for events like this is considerbaly cheap compared to other venues. Just be greatful they are hosting something.

Why is the launch party in San Fran when your studio is in downtown Vancouver?
You guys should host one here in your home town :lol:

Ok nice. your giving a party to a state I live in; albeit its hours away and in no way shape of form am able to make it. The only thing and this is mainly because I and I'm sure a vast majority cling to this think that is total BS (unless you stream it) is the "Upcomming Content Plans". I don't like starting crap over petty stuff, but hearing the word "exclusive" when the majority can't attend and many have contributed just bugs. Again if your stream it sorry for the post.

Yeah I'm only ~30 minutes out of SF but

Are you able to travel to San Francisco, CA and arrive at our venue on September 26th 2013, no later than 1pm PDT and attend for the entire afternoon and evening? Click to confirm.


I would have gone for a night thing but I'm not taking off work for it.

Why wasn't this on a weekend? It would be orders of magnitude easier to attend.
