Hi all,
I’ll be going to Magfest this year in National Harbor, MD, from Jan 2-5, as usual! If anyone’s also going to be there, drop me a line - the group I’m going with will have a room at the Gaylord for drinkin’ and hanging out for the entire convention. I can send out the room number once we find out.
The Protomen are also going this year, so, even if we don’t meet up, if you’re there, you absolutely absolutely absolutely must see them live.
I was fortunate enough to enjoy their hospitality at MAGFest a couple of years ago. I won’t be able to attend myself this year, but I’m envious of anybody who can!
Also, Mothra, @familyjules and I hope you’ll be able to come out Oct 15-18 for SB #4 this year! It’s been too long!
I think out of pure ODD I have to continue refusing to go to the videogame adjacent convention thing that’s like closer to me than my job BUT everyone going must arrange to meet with me at an establishment of your choosing
what is ODD
Oppositional Defiance Disorder
next year…
Cowardssssssss
Yeah I’ll be here again this year, though I think my brothers and roommate might be tagging along this year so I probably won’t really have the room to go elsewhere. I remember when I went to visit your room last time (or did I go to some other SBer?) I had a heck of an adventure getting up and then back down again because I didn’t have a key card to operate the elevators and had to take detours through floors relying completely on what floors I could piggy back off other people and eventually got seemingly locked in a stairwell with some other people, one of whom was trying to get to the dance club which ultimately was actually only accessible by an exclusive elevator elsewhere in the hotel.
Almost certain that was me, yeah.
I forgot they made elevators badge-activated… about two years ago, they made it so you had badge, then click the button.
You can use the stairs, but, I understand it’s kind of a pain in the ass.
I’m coming for the first time on Friday-Saturday and I’ll be with my sister and her newly acquired husband. I’m dreading the poor food decisions that are to come
There’s a kiosk in the lobby dedicated to selling energy drinks and mountain dew.
My group’s party room is 6306
DM me if anyone wants to drink/hang out and I’ll letcha know when we’re at the room. We’ll definitely be around Friday and Saturday night pretty regularly.
Is there such a thing as a pinball table with a good HD video display? These all have bad graphics card boxart CG instead of charming dot art. The only okay one is the Munsters because you get to watch clips of The Munsters.
Just a heads-up that I’ll be at Magfest this year, we have an atrium party room and everything. Lemme know if you’re going too and we can sync up!
did you get a pic with the embarrassing 2014 joke before they took it down
Wow, had no idea they were on the GG train back in the day.
I am at the Magfest too and down to hang with whoever whenever. Currently in line at pre-registration and remembering that I keep wondering if I should stop pre-registering and just buy the bad at the con because the line is always shorter now days.
personally i think it owns that it’s completely impossible to talk any kind of shit or accurately point out all the ways kotaku is actually a deeply unethical publication without the world likening you to some ultra neocon who thinks star wars is too woke because the collective human equivalent of a broken clock also hates them. cringe jokes like this don’t help either. so, you know, thanks magfest.
welcome to the future – no need for subtlety anymore! just shout your takes from the roof and receive your thumbs ups from random passersby who can barely hear or understand you.
Speaking of conventions are any select buttons at the modern languages association meeting rn
The very first concert I walked into was a band and full choir covering the theme to Bloodborne Kart.
Also I’ve come to the conclusion that Metroid is not a good source of material for a heavy metal band, even if you theme your entire band around it.
