Holy shit OCR people are going this year?

I went with bustatunez and 3 other guys from IRC last year, was pretty fun.

I'll see if I can get that weekend off, I'm not sure because I've already asked for magfest and all...

Damned atlantic ocean with your big-and-in-the-way-ness.

No OneUps this year huh? That's too bad, I wasn't able to go last year and was planning to go if they were playing this time. Not sure whether I'm going or not this year.

Freezepop was easily the worst band last year. They sucked.

Minibosses were way better.

Minibosses ruled last year. Lost my voice rocking out with "Ikari Warriors."

I am quite interested in going if I can acquire some cheap lodgings for the duration.

Hey soc can I crash with you for a couple days before? Tickets are extremely cheap if you pick the right dates:

Despite my level of unworthiness, I shall also be attending. I look forward to finally meeting somebody (see ANYBODY) from OCR in the flesh :<.

I'm going. Will be there with a laptop running the Flare demo. Possibly merchandise. Possibly.

Because the east coast has all the other 'cons.

Brushfire

So I got a question. It may be too far out, but will OCR be making it out to PAX East by chance? It will be another prime time to crash at me pad.

KyleJCrb

08-03-2009, 05:03 AM

I get the feeling that getting OCR to PAX East will be easier than getting to PAX West, so they'll probably be there.

Wasn't there something going around that they're trying to get PAX East at Boston?

OverCoat

08-03-2009, 10:49 AM

Larry gimme some more info, man!

Are you staying at the Sheraton next door? For how long? I requested the weekend off but I don't know if I can get it yet. I can get to the convention center relatively quickly [two buses!] but you think I could just nap in your room instead? hehe

Also, are you having a panel?

Palpable

Yeah we're trying to get a panel at PAX East too. Gotta catch 'em all!

No Minibosses or OneUps this year :(

I enjoyed MC Frontalot and Jonathon Coulton when I went two years ago. I really want to go this year since I missed it last year.

Upthorn

08-08-2009, 06:32 AM

So, any chance of getting an OCR group hotel room together so a cheapass like me can go?

OverCoat

I seriously doubt there's a hotel available within the city

the sheraton next door is most likely overfilled already :P

also: wish larry would post some fucking info still

Confirming that I will be there. Just preregged and booked amtrak tickets and room reservation.

PMing is the WORST option for contacting Larry. If you want to make sure you get a hold of him, email (http://www.vgfrequency.com/about/larry-oji-creator/).

I MUST SUCCEED

Is anyone driving up from or through Portland for the last day? I would like to make it to the panel, if nothing else, and could use a ride...

Upthorn

08-19-2009, 09:01 AM

The train could get you there, and back, if you have about $60 extra to burn.

Abadoss

08-19-2009, 11:12 AM

I don't have much of anything to burn, I'm afraid. Hence, could use a ride...

OverCoat

08-24-2009, 08:33 AM

I got the 6th off of work

huzzah, I can be on your silly panel, and perhaps get some leftover sunday swag

I'm gonna need Dave and Larry's numbers, it's easy to get lost in PAX.

It's looking like I'll be able to make it to MAGFest, so I'm going to focus my attention there. Sorry, guys. No PAX for me.

Pretty excited for OCR at PAX this year.
got quite the collection from OCR.

09-04-2009, 06:08 PM

djp & Palpable are already there, and I'm heading up tonight on a 5-hour flight. My assumption is this'll be crazy, so I'm excited! Wish you all could be there!

OverCoat

09-05-2009, 07:20 AM

Larry/Dave I'll try to catch you guys Sunday before the panel, I'll get there early in the morning so I can get my sunday badge and score some leftover sunday swag [and talk to the EVE Online guys!]. Maybe I'll even see you around inside there. I tried going into #ocremix to get your numbers but of course no one was available - if anyone from the OCR crew is there and also checking this thread, please PM me a number so I can find you guys easier :3 if not, I'll just sneak onto your panel.

You guys had a god damn awesome panel for us. Thanks for coming out to Seattle! For the last of the SF2HDR fights, you shouldn't have picked "Fingers", we had another crazy mofo right in the front row.

Anyway, shoutout to all the crew! (I was the dude with the black Megatokyo shirt that said, ゾンビ on it) And yes, I reregistered (I forgot my old login) just to post this.

Hey DJP - that darkstalkers book? Fucking amazing and worth every penny. Hopefully you can get your hands on one too.

I had an AMAZING time at PAX meeting old friends and new. It was heartbreaking having to split the time there between seeing people, seeing the con, seeing the city, and just relaxing! I easily could have spent a week there. Big thanks to everyone who attended the panel (even if you're just lurking), and it sounded like the people at PAX liked it, so hopefully it will be the first of many PAX appearances to come!

Enjoyed the panel, guys. I thought you did a good job of pimping the site and the remix community in a way that would connect with the PAX audience-- it seemed like you focused more on the tie-ins to gaming and the industry than, say, explaining "rearrangement." :nicework:

You should start all your panels with Music of my Groin... it was like a rite of passage for the uninitiated in the audience, a litmus test to weed out people with weak stomachs or good ears. I was terrified that half the audience would walk out :-o

(I was a split second from requesting Toyota Disco (http://olremix.org/remixes/99), so who am I to judge.)

Here's some pix, mainly of me being AWESOME:

... and me in brown laughing at the "We've severly overestimated the average size of PAX attendees!" comment. That "buy two" bonus was a good call-- I didn't hear anybody buying just one item.

MoogleDee

09-08-2009, 03:57 AM

I agree, every panel should start with Music of My Groin. And Overcoat, did you get yours signed by Long Vo? I got him to do a little Lilith doodle in the inside cover of my Tribute book.

OverCoat

09-08-2009, 05:18 AM

aw, no I didn't [but it's still worth the money!]

the free poster I got was signed though! I want to put it up on my door and look at it every day :3

OverCoat

09-08-2009, 10:27 AM

Also, does anyone want to mirror those facebook pictures so I can actually see them, lol

FYI:

There has been confirmed cases of H1N1 Influenza (Swine flu) at PAX. On Penny-Arcade's website they list the flights and trains where confirmed cases may have travelled. So you all might to be extra careful if you feel a bit of a flu coming in or if you exhibit the symptoms. Go on PA's website for the full information.

Abadoss

09-09-2009, 09:38 PM

Wow. Maybe it was a good thing I decided to focus on MAGFest... :P

All in all, though, I am sad that I had to miss out on the first time official OCR people have been anywhere near where I live, but I think it's for the best. I'll see you guys at MAGFest! :D

OverCoat

09-09-2009, 10:11 PM

Yeah I got sick, lol

but it's just a fever

it did get up to 102.5° but it went down a lot today, so I should be fine

a couple of shizzies got really sick though, but I'm guessing it was because they went to/performed at the concerts [super-concentrated geekswarm].

Man, I knew there was somewhere I'd been forgetting to post-PAX post.

Panel was awesome. Nothing I could have thought of to improve it given the 1 hour length limit they put on you.

Handing out stickers to the merch line was unexpectedly fun. And it was great of Dave to buy us all dinner afterwards.

I did come down with the PAX pox, (or H1Nerd1, as the cool kids are calling it), though.

Still, the weekend as a whole was totally worth a few days of sick. I mean, I hadn't realized going in that I was going to get an opportunity to play Diablo 3, starcraft 2, scribblenauts, etc...

Edit:
I'm also amused that I'm in no photos ever, despite being just off-camera for a whole bunch.
