Too far away for me to attend, especially on such short notice. If anyone ever finds one near Indiana I'd more than likely end up going.

EDIT: Never mind, its not short notice. But I still wouldnt be able to go.

Ugh, I wanted to go so bad. Warpath TV has a booth, a sponsor, everything, and I was supposed to make the trek out there to help run it. Unfortunately, I can't do MAGFest, MGC, and visit DC (college tour) all in the same general time frame and not be poor, so MAGFest was the odd man out.

Have fun though!

That's only like a 4 hour drive or so for me, but once you factor in gas, hotel, and time I have to take off from work, I can't really justify it.

Come to NYC Ben!

I've never been there before, but it sounds like MGC but more of a party, so should be cool.

I'm gonna try and get Mike Z to let me sing with his band, should be fun!

I got all excited because I have Christmas break then. However, It's a 9 hour drive, and I'd have to dig into tuition money to pay for the hotel etc.

I went last year... going again this year. Your best bet as far as hotels are concerned are to room up with people.

There are people selling all kinds of things there (shirts,games, mods for games, dvds, etc) But it's also cool to just hang out there. There are arcade machines (all on free play) and a room just for gaming. They switch out the games every so often so you can try different things. There are plenty of areas where you can plug in (if you need to recharge your stuff)

There's assorted areas where people were even playing board games.

There's no such thing as "run of the mill people" I learned that when I went last year. There's different groups that are there that I've seen at various comic book, anime, or nerd conventions. And if you've frequent those three things you'll see that there's all kinds of people.

And SonyPortableizer you should let people crash at your spot... that'd allow for more people to go

Well id like to a lot, but my parents arent too "Keen" on letting random strangers stay with a 15 year old, who dont know each other, and met on the internet.
Yea, otherwise id let people come bunk at my house

So as I have never gone to one of these before, what do you do?(I read their site already)
Do you bring thing you make-Portables-or rare games you own?
Are there usually places to buy old(NES and above)games?
-And if their prices
What kind of atmosphere is there?(Like Really nerdy people, or the regular run of the mill people?)
Places to play games with other people?
Also and extremely weird question, is there AC? and benches?(I have my reasons and dont want to go into detail if I dont have to)

Anyone have more questions, just ask, and this can go the same for the one happening in WI(Not MAGfest, but the different one)

I was so excited when I found out ben would be there. Maybe we should make a list of the people planning on coming.
Unfortunately after Dec. 6 I'll be unable to walk for a while, so ill be the fat guy in a wheelchair

. It'll be nice to meet anyone of you guys in person. SP ill clean your galaga cart if you bring it

.(someone bring a gamebit)

I'll have to see if I'll be working full time by then. If I am.... well there's a chance. If I can get January 2-4 I'll drive down. Virgina is a lot closer then Wisconsin, and gas prices are cheaper.

I'll keep you guys updated. So Ben knows to duck when I come into the room screaming "BENHECK!!!"
