Too Many Games Convention in PA

[weasels]

So they are having the con again next month - September 19th @ 10am. I'll be doing a live Racketboy podcast again as one of the panels.

Who else is going this time? It'd be cool to get a crew together for lunch

i'll be there of course...maybe this time we can work it out better. who knows.

I will totally do lunch this time. I feel bad I didn't last time.

we didn't even get to do lunch last time. i was a bit late... so don't feel bad. but the live podcast was great! It will be exciting to meet you in person after we playing on ad-hoc party. speaking of which you should play some of that again, maybe get monster hunter freedom unite. it's great fun online. and i have a mic now.

For anyone on the fence about coming, it would be well worth your drive if you live within a few hours from Reading, PA. They have a ton of retro stuff for sale there - things I have never seen with my own eyes anywhere else, things I have salivated over online, really sweet imports,etc. Some of the prices are very good, some are very bad, most are fair. I'd suggest picking up a wad of cash and coming.

I am also thinking about bringing some stuff to trade, so maybe we could do some of that as well if people want.

Even if buying/selling is not your thing, in addition to the aforementioned live Racketboy podcast they usually have lots of other panels, game-related musical acts, great competitions for all kinds of games, minor gaming celebrities in attendance, and much more going on. It's a fun day, and a nice smaller sized convention that doesn't feel overwhelming.

Here's a nice write up of the one from earlier this year, if you are curious: http://cpgamestream.wordpress.com/2010/ ... ring-2010/

Dude Weasels, sorry I've been off PS3 and Ad Hoc. I have a projector for my TV and my bulb blew so I'm off PS3 and 360 for a little while until I get a new one. Sorry man, we were having a lot of fun playing MGS: Peace Walker. Such an awesome game.

Lunch with some Racketboy members would be sick. I hate to encourage making another thread but it really does help to be on that front page for a day so people know about this. Unfortunately, not many people search the forums.

I just read that it only goes on for one day. Nonetheless, I will definitely get there, no matter how hard it is for me. lol.

EDIT: How can I identify other Racketboy Members at the convention?

just a friendly reminder to check out on of the better retro video game shops while you're in town for the convention. They're just a few miles from the hotel itself. Check out level up video games here:

I know i mentioned them last year, but they really are worth checking out in person or online.
