  1. Man, too bad Nekofrog and I don't live in Fort Wayne anymore, or we'd be all over this! Unfortunately, all but one family member high-tailed it to Florida in the last year, so I never have much reason to visit anymore. :( Have fun though, guys!

  2. Seriously guys, why does no one else ever mention Silent Hill 2? One of the most insanely emotional powerful game stories ever.

    Yeah, I think we both got the sniffles from Mother 3.

    And Katie, why didn't I mention it? I should have. After playing through it for the first time a few years ago, I spent a whole week in a funk. That game really shook me up. I think you know that, though. :)

  3. I squealed like a little girl when I saw the trailer last week. :3 That said, it reminds me a lot of Kirby 64, though it looks like it plays more like Kirby SuperStar. Freakin' beyond excited. It always broke my heart to know that the GameCube Kirby game was forever canceled, and it's about time we got a new update. I loved the hell out of Epic Yarn, but it just wasn't the same.

    Aaron Wu, show me what you've got! I wanna see!

  4. They might. Sending stuff besides letters is generally a bad idea, because it can, and likely will, be opened in front of everyone, and get fussed over. When Nekofrog was in bootcamp, I only sent letters, and when he finally asked for me to send photos, I made sure that he was sure that it was okay for him to receive pictures with his letters. If in doubt, don't do it. It might cause some teasing, or get tossed in the trash.

  5. Hey Neko, how does the seating work? For instance, do we need to specifically purchase tickets next to each other so we can sit together? Would be cool to see you there this time as well 8-)

    Thanks for the heads up on the sell rate Ashamee. I was a bit worried about that. Since I'm not familiar with the area (except for Sweetwater's hq being up there), what would you recommend doing outside of the concert? Any specific hotels we should stay at?

    As was recommended, yes, someone should buy up the tickets and then have everyone pay them back. That's generally the only way to get seats together at things like this. We did things this way when a bunch of us saw VGL in Louisville, and it worked out great.

    Outside of the concert, hmm...well, since the Embassy is downtown, I recommend Science Central, which is also downtown. I used to go there a lot on field trips as a kid, and it's generally for kids, but it's still really fun. Essentially, it's a building full of interactive science experiments, and they always have a new giant exhibit every month that you can play in. When I was 11, it was a giant cabbage maze from the Peter Rabbit books, and the last time I was there two years ago, it was a slanted house, that you could climb into and try to actually stay upright. There's also the Fort Wayne Museum of Art downtown and the Old Fort, too, which is now open for tours. Sadly, they closed the Lincoln Museum, which was full of interactive exhibits on Abraham Lincoln. Just look and see what you can find. :)

    As far as hotels, I've not actually stayed in one out there, so I can't really recommend any, but I know they have a Hilton downtown which is supposedly pretty nice. Just too bad I'm not sticking around long enough to go with you guys, but maybe when I'm in town next week, I'll take a look around for you.

    Also, Neko can't go. He and I both live in California now, and while I was hoping he could have joined me on this vacation, work obligations are causing him to stay here, so yeah. :(

  6. Yeah, Neko and I did this in 2007, (my family lives in Fort Wayne) and it was a lot of fun. We also saw it again in Louisville. I was asked to go see it again since I'm going to be in Fort Wayne next week, but I'm only staying until the 24th and don't want to stay too much longer than that, so, sorry, guys. Since I've seen it twice, I don't think it's THAT imperative that I go. Have fun, though! Fort Wayne is a really neat city.

    Buy your tickets early. The Embassy Theatre is relatively small, and the time we went, it sold out.

  7. Hm, I am a little worried as I sent my gift at the end of November. I know it has to travel overseas and I know I did not chose any priority mail or stuff like that.

    Well there is still a little bit of time, I just hope my recipient will get the present before the 24th :/

    luhny, I heard my doorbell ring about two mornings ago and got a package from you! Thanks for the teeny tiny 4 GB thumb drives! They're adorable! Maybe I'll take a picture, but Neko and I were excited and opened them already!

    As for our Secret Santa recipient, your gift should ship on Monday. :)

  8. Since Ari and Katie want both, I'll just let them have 'em. It'd be easier that way. I'm sorry, guys. We really, really want to go and had our hearts set on it, but with the way things look work-wise for Neko, he'll only get a few days off for the holiday, and we'll be lucky if he gets much more time off, since they're severely shorthanded.

    We were hoping to visit my family sometime in January, too, if we can manage the schedule, and we had to make a choice. Family ended up winning out, since they haven't seen him for over a year, and we were unable to make Thanksgiving or Christmas.

    See you all next year, though, and enjoy yourselves this year!

  9. Hi, guys. Despite our desire to make it to MAG again this year, Nekofrog is unable to get the time off of work for us to go, and I really don't wish to go without him! As it stands, we are sitting here with two Attendee badges, that usually go for $40 each.

    We would be willing to take $60 for the pair, or $30 each. If anyone's interested, send either Neko or me a PM, or find me on IRC. PayPal is preferred.

    Hope everyone has fun this year without us. :)
