Well, the Bushwacker is coming, so that's kind of a given.

Any idea on what events will take streaming precedence over others? I.e. will a Q&A session be streamed if it coincides with a match, or will the match be streamed?

[Matt Newman]

Matches take priority of Q and A's.
Also The QnA's audio equipment is not hooked into the streaming equipment so if they are shown it will be minimal.
The QnA's are targeted at the attendees much like the Autograph sessions.
However, People Watching the Stream will see everything shown on the main stage.

In twitch chat the Green Sworded Person(s) should also have a 36 point bold eye catching colored font or your asking for Utter Chaos (Being Chaotic Neutral in nature I have no problem with ths).

[Navid A1]

you better have that food ready PGI.

Also... Is Paul gonna be there for Q & A?

[Manei Domini Krigg]

Some announces?

[unwary]

No mention if poutine will be available in the video

In case someone is wondering, dis is poutine

[BWS2K]

Wow. After seeing that picture, I can understand Tina's vehement refusal to endorse poutine. What a terrible thing to do to french fries! I'll be tuned in as much as I can, though I was less interested in the matches than the Q/A sort of stuff. Oh well.

Ok. That makes sense.

[VitriolicViolet]

disappointed that the only real reason to watch the stream, the QnA, wont be given priority over matches. i mean apart from those who know someone in the championship who actually cares who wins?

[Kael Posavatz]

French fries, cheese curds, and...is that maple syrup?

[William Slayer]

Wish I could be there, but i'll be watching!

@vitriolic - Like any other sports I played as a kid, I think it's great watch same game played at the next level!

Gravy, senor. Usually gravy on the classic.

But i've seen interesting poutine creations that do use maple syrup.

Lets get a couple terms correct.
Mech_Con VS MechCon.
I few articles i have read state that this is the first Mech_Con. Well the first MechCon was in '98. I was there. And in 99 so was Charlie Hill from Activision with a table for heavy gear.
I drove both years from Idaho to Austin Tx by way of Kansas.
So MechCon'98 had 13 players from Kali online show. And in '99 we had about 35.
I used to run a web site back in from 96-98 that let people request via form what type of MW2 mech they wanted built based on style of play and speed.and i would built them one, extract it and then send them for mech over email. They then dropped it into their folder.

Five Guys restaurant chain does poutine now. You can get toppings on them also. Lots of locations in vancouver. But there's a gourmet place called Mean Poutine only ONE block south west from MechCon.
