+Nathan Strum Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Very cool indeed. I wish I could be there, too. But it's still cool to be able to watch it live. (BTW Albert, your "Four-Play" slide says "component" instead of "opponent".) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I wonder if Ian thought nobody would capture him. Just by chance looked at the webcam and caught him. Ianoid in action: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimefighter Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 Just curious, wasn't there supposed to be a "midwest video championship"? Didn't look like that went down at all. Yawn...I haven't won much stuff yet...looks like my best chance is two games on the Jaguar they're doing tomorrow which I best inquire about. One more pinball tourney, oddball pinballs...Fast Break, where scoring is done solely by shooting baskets, the rest is irrelavent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Scientist Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 It looks like I should make it to MGC on Sunday. I'm not helping out with a JagFest or anything this time... just a quick trip from home. My wife and seven-month-old will be coming along this time, too: the first gaming convention of any sort for either of them. My relevant question: does anyone know how young children's admissions are done at MGC? We've taken Gray to zoos, movies, baseball games, etc. and he's been free at all of them; will that be the case for the little guy tomorrow? He'll probably be riding around in a Baby Bjorn while stand well away from the pinball tables to protect them from being slimed by teething drool. I'm hoping that he'll be free, as my wife is likely to freak at the $10 admission price otherwise. -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveD Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Children 12 and under are free with a paid adult. That is assuming you can find anyone to take your money. I spent about an hour there yesterday and saw no admission or sign-in area unless it had to do with a tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Back from the show and the AA party. It was awesome. Great AA presence. I sold alot, bought alot, and had an f'n good time. I can't wait until next year. I'm getting a table as soon as they offer them. Thanks for capturing my finest moments above. Thanks Al, Matt, Dan, Dave, Christine and so many others for making my day at MWGC a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimefighter Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 $10 ain't much considering how much you would had paid in quarters to play the machines all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent about an hour there yesterday and saw no admission or sign-in area unless it had to do with a tournament. What you had to do was go all the way doen the hall, and there were two tables set up by the entrance to the main room. They proudly took my money there. The Jagfest room didn't have security officers checking for wristbands for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) MIght I add that Tempest and Albert were exactly like I pictured them. A couple of drunken, bastards. Let's just say that Tempest knows his way around a six pack. Seriously, they couldn't have been nicer. I'm looking forward to next year's show and meeting some more of you guys!

Atari Dogs Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 How was Ben Heckendorn's presentation. Anyone that can do all do that type of work and write a book about it ought to have a great presentation. One of these days I need to buy his book, not that I could actually make anything. The pictures would be cool. Did he say anything about making any new consoles, or if he is taking any orders for handhelds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumerNivek Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Looks like my friend who came with me won the XBox 360 drawing! He called me at 1 AM last night while I was asleep to tell me. Somehow, I knew he would win it. Goat Store sent him an email about it earlier in the week. What a great gift...and all he had to do was pay $10 to get into the event. I had a blast guys. Looking forward to next year and also the Video Game Summit this August in Lombard (if I can make it). Ianoid, thanks again for the 3D glasses for the Master System. I am having a ball with them.
