    Midwest meetup?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I would really like to do something in chi-town, but I've never been to UIUC either. It would really have to depend on when. May in general is horrible for me because I'm getting married on Friday, May 22nd. I'm really interested though, I've only did this once before, but it was with one member from a different forum and we live like 20 mins apart at the time.

    I went through this thread thinking I had posted in here before.....weird.

    Anyway, I live in Waukegan, IL. I'm about 5-10 mins from Six Flags Great America and about 45 mins to an hour north of the chicago. Mustin knows where I live, he used to live around here (for a little bit).

    Edit, oh duh it was another thread from before the new year that I posted where I live. LOL

    I miss arcades

    Usually once a year, we go to see my extended family down in Chicago. Next to the Woodfield mall they have a Gameworks, which is filled to bursting with arcade games. They've got a ton of stuff. Off the top of my head, I can remember a Metal Slug 5, MvC2, tons of assorted light gun games, F-Zero AX, classics like DK, Dig-Dug, and Pac-man, as well as 4 Mario Kart Arcade machines that were only made available in Japan! They let you use credits on a gameworks card instead of the usual quarters, so its all about swiping instead of inserting. Yeah, that place is pretty great...:smile:

    Wait, wait, wait....Gameworks has an AX machine????? Holy crap I need to go ASAP!!! I haven't been there in about 4 years. Love that place, 8 player Indy 500 is so much fun.

    There's another nice arcade in the Chicagoland area called Nickel City (used to be called Super Just Games years ago) all games are nickel priced. The most expensive game, from the last time I went, was 30 cents, and that was DDR. They also have a large free play area with classics like, Track and Field, Soul Edge, Super Off-Raod and many others. It's in Northbrook (or Deerfield on the boarder) on Waukegan Rd. (Rt. 43).

    Going back on topic:

    I remember playing this game. Had an intriguing story and a very interesting battle engine. I got stuck at one point and was never able to finsh it. I need to get this game and try and beat it again. Here's hoping for a VC release......:lol: Thanks for the reminder!

    So for some reason I had managed to avoid watching most of his videos. Then I got bored last Saturday at work and remembered it. I watched a newer one. I then proceeded to watch his videos for the rest of the shift. Four hours of hilarity. I think I loved his Painkiller one the best. Like Sephire, I now eagerly await every Wednesday.

    Welcome to the club. Pull up a chair and grab some popcorn.

    EGM is no more

    Wait... So what happens with my subscription?

    There is a number you can call if you renewed it recently. The company is called Dial America, they handled EGM subscriptions. Since I just renew two months ago, I was given a choice of a full refund or different magazine. You might be able to do the same. Here's the number 800-984-8959.

    This such a sad day. I grew up with EGM. I started readnig it when I was 9 (I'm now 25..yeah that long!) Why couldn't it be Gamepro.....oh well it's an end of a era.

    I raise my glass for you EGM, you had an awesome run. You will be missed. :cry:

    Okay, so I'm not so sure where to find the product registration codes. Anything I found matching that description didn't work. How's everybody else doing?

    EDIT: Perhaps the maintenance they just started doing was causing me problems.

    The code is behind the manual on an small two sheet booklet. It will be on the back of that booklet.

    Just keep in mind that the games do have an expiration date of when you can no longer do the survey.

    I did the surveys that expire soon. The six that I have remaining don't expire till 2013.

    The coins expire too - they're only good for two years after you earn them.

    Yeah I know about that. But the 620 coins that I have don't expire till June 30, 2011. So I have time. ;-)

    I had some problems at first (using firefox), but once everything transferred over it has been working fine. It took about 24-48 hours for everything to work right. Give it time. That's why they call this a soft opening. I'm debating about redeeming all my games. I redeemed enough to get to platinum status (600 coins) but I have surveys that I can still do (four Wii games = 200 coins). I know that you get a special prize when you hit Gold and Platinum status so maybe I won't buy anything and wait to see what they have for the next club nintendo year?
