They are selling quick... however there are 2 major bands and 1 major special guest that will blow the roof off the tickets... We expect these combined to sell legit 5,000 tickets.

I would really really get your tickets before I announce these things... We will most likely have more convention tickets than that but the HOTEL is gonna sell out!!! That's what I would get hotel asap no matter what!

It would also help us to know asap how many people are entering what etc...

 

[Conti]

OMG Brawl And Halo... 3 Day Event At Same Place... Im Freiken There!!!!!

 

[Battlewoundz]

will be there

 

[Piggyman86]

Whats the limit of convention tickets you guys can sell? how many people can this convention hold?

 

[Solid Jake]

Whats the limit of convention tickets you guys can sell? how many people can this convention hold?

5,000 if im not mistaken.

 

[Almo]

if we buy tickets whats the latest date that they can be refunded by?

 

[GameUnderground]

August 1st... Why would you ever miss the biggest party in the history of New England video games???


Also... Jake is pretty close with his 5,000 number... however, if the demand for this is overwhelming there are solutions to that number... but if it's close we may stop at 5,000.

 

[GameUnderground]

One of the celebrities we might get's last public autograph signing last fall drew 6,000 people just for an autograph signing....

 

[Aesir]

I should show up and win this, then never play smash again.

 

[omegawhitemage]

The celeb better be either David Hayter or Jonathan Coulton...just sayin'

 

[GameUnderground]

Naw this guy is some one that would draw a massive amount of casual people to our convention. (even some that don't care about video games...) People that play smash may not even care actually but it will make our convention much bigger so it's worth it for us.

This still may not happen but we are close... expect an announcement as soon as we are allowed to say so.

You will want to have your ticket before we announce this guy...

 

[EC_Joey]

Will Wright. I'm calling it.

 

[GameUnderground]

Will Wright. I'm calling it.

Naw... I wish.... think more local. This person is known nation wide but very popular in Boston. This person is not an actor.

This person also isn't famous from video games but does have a real legit reason for wanting to be at GameUniCon!

 

[Greene Archer]

I recall you saying something about a baseball player? I wanna guess Kurt Schilling.

 

[Prawn]

Greene Archer is right, Curt is an avid Everquest player who is making his own game so this makes sense. Especially since it's in massachusetts.

 

[omegawhitemage]

Dane Cook?

He's not an actor, at least not a good one.

 

[MdrnDayMercutio]

Dane Cook... eww... he gotta terribad and is a thief.

 

[So Fatal]

Puzzle League Tournament

 

[MattDotZeb]

Dane Cook?

He's not an actor, at least not a good one.

You definitely read my mind. >.>



I have no idea who it is.
If it's a baseball player then the whole "known nationwide but popular in boston" makes a lot more sense.
Ah, well, I'll wait and see like everybody else

 

[Prawn]

Bubble Bobble tournament?

I'd kick ***.

 

[omegawhitemage]

SMB1 Speedrun? Anyone wanna bet against me? I wouldn't...

 

[MattDotZeb]

OWM I'll MM you in a SMB1 speedrun.

 

[omegawhitemage]

How much ?

 

[Prawn]

Speedrun no warps is where the skill is at.

 

[MattDotZeb]

How much ?

Name your price.

 

[MdrnDayMercutio]

Puzzle League/Tetris Attack Tourney.

Although I'd prefer to know which one due to the subtle differences.

 

[omegawhitemage]

Doesnt matter matt, ur the one losing it anyway.

 

[MattDotZeb]

You're pretty cocky for somebody who is too afraid to name the amount they want to give me.

 

[omegawhitemage]

LOL <3

I really don't care though, $5? $50? $100? All the same

 

[So Fatal]

Puzzle League/Tetris Attack Tourney.

Although I'd prefer to know which one due to the subtle differences.

Idc either one. it would ****

 

[Rogue Pit]

Is there anyone passing through Wheatfield and has an extra spot in their car?

I dont wanna get lost in text, so can you pm me if you can help me out.

 

[GameUnderground]

The SMB Speed Run is gonna be beast! I'm surprized there isn't more talk about the 1am Tetris or 1am Air Hockey Tournaments...

 

[Banks]

i would probably **** in an SMB speedrun during the first two stages, then lose horribly/die

 

[omegawhitemage]

Forgot about Air Hockey, I'm gunna win that too. MM's?

 

[Zombie Lucille Ball]

$5 air hockey anybody

 

[Pakman]

What Tetris are they going to do? Classic NES or one of the newer incarnations?

 

[MattDotZeb]

The only real difference is the control scheme.

 

[Pakman]

The only real difference is the control scheme.

Have you played the NES tetris?

There is no fast drop.

No piece storage.

You can only see a single upcoming piece instead of the several upcoming pieces.

The piece lands faster when it hits a solid surface.

NES is intense tetris.... intenstris.

I think Tetris DS is the best one I have played, but NES is the true test of skill.
