zircon Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 The Greater Philadelphia Convention Center in Oaks, PA is hosting a weekend gaming convention, GameX (http://gamexpo.us). I'm going to be there with some friends doing a panel on the "Industry Summit" (oriented toward game devs) side of things, as well as playing in a VGM band! The OneUps will be there too, so it looks like it will be a great time. Shall we organize some kind of meetup for Saturday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Are you going to record and then post some videos on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zircon Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Haha, get out of here Meteo: I have no idea what (if anything) will be recorded, but I sure hope so. Among other things, the impromptu band I'm in ("Big Daddy and the Splicers") is playing a medley of Super Mario Bros. Underground, Ken and Trogdor, a sort of gothic Kraid, my (Sixto-powered) arrangement of Lunatic Moon, a reggae version of Chemical Plant zone, and lots of other cool stuff. I heard VGxpo didn't go too well this year so GameX is looking to be the new hotness. If you're within two-hundred miles, you should come!

Dyne Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 As of right now, I don't know if I'll have any money to be able to even go. I know, it costs $15, but I have rent to pay next week, as well as other bills. I suppose we'll see, but I'll be strapped for cash if I make it.

Xenon Odyssey Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 a reggae version of Chemical Plant zone man, i want to go solely for this. But ALAS, there are no trains out to Phoenixville, and I have dedicated myself to schoolwork this weekend. Sorry guys Play loud enough so I can hear it in the city!

Emunator Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 God, why does all the cool stuff take place on the other side of the country? At least I got The OneUps in my area for a night, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zircon Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Oh man, didn't know all those other bands were playing too! We're not on that list but I guess it's because we're actually playing on the "Industry" side not for the general public, AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zircon Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 It was awesome. An apology to the OneUps is in order for our band's set basically taking WAY longer than it should have - Arnold's Family Fun Center doesn't have the best equipment.

danimal cannon Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 big meh on this one. I could tell that a ton of money was sunk into this thing but the attendance was thumbs down. I missed the VIP party, and like half the bands I wanted to see. Also pretty much everyone I knew at the event missed our set. We played for 50 people and had one of the highest attended things going on... that and pretty much every agreement we had in terms of payment and lodging got fucked up. I think my highlight was playing 1980s pinball machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyne Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 It's very good to be home.Looking forward to MAGFest. Amen Mustin, amen. P.S. My remixer and non-remixer bretheren. For PAX of the Spring of 2010 shall be upon us. And though we shall ever long for MAGFest, a new place shall we venture, lo, I say unto you, post-MAGFest... TO BOSTON WE SHALL GO! HUZZAH! </dramatic effect> Alright, so seriously, loads of cool things about to happen starting with MAGFest in January. MAGFest -- Dec. 31 (for pre-regs only NYE party) Jan 1 - 4 for the awesome winningest fest this side of the US of A. Alexandria, Virginia PAX East -- Spring 2010, Boston, Mass. Otakon -- July 30 - August 1, Baltimore, Maryland @ BCC Inner Harbor I'm missing small cons inbetween, but still, just those three will be worth it. (Okay, so Otakon is an anime fest. Still, Club Otaku alias JAMSPACE FOR THE WIN! Oh and that other stuff...animu...etc...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I really want to go to some of these things and hopefully by next year I can - however even MAGfest 9 is likely out for me since my most immediate and convenient ride I'm apparently not on speaking terms with. I need to find me another'n, provided I can somehow not piss everyone off before next year. . I bet its so much fun that you cream your pants and don't even care or notice until you get home.....

danimal cannon Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 hah and this is what is sounds like in real life Board recordings are so unforgiving, especially when not all the instruments are mic'd. Meaning, bass, cymbals, bassdrum?, guitar stage left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
