Just wanted to add here that tickets are on sale right now for $40.


Also, because I registered early, I now have a free ticket to the show.

Not asking for any money just contact me at renocide2 at gmail dotcom and let me know if you want the ticket or not.

[Tipperzack]

That looks great.
I would go if some others would go.

[Murdock]

Hey...it sounds really good. I really want to go. I need to finalize the plans soon. I'll let you know.

[Renocide]

Just wanted to give a little bump.


And say that the $40 tickets officially end on July 13th. After that I think they may go back to $60.


I also still have that extra ticket.

We don't even have to meet for you to get it. You just have to register at the site and then send me your user name so I can switch the ticket over to your account.

That's it.

See ya!

[Murdock]

hey Renocide,
I'm interested...if you still have it available. I'll take it. I am planning on going.

There I said it...I am planning on going...who else is with me?

No problem.

Just sign up for the LAN and leave it unpaid.

I will need your name and ID that they give you.

Then I will send that information to the LAN org. and they will move your account to a PAID status.

[Digger[NJLP]]

Murdock,
Is this one you had me sign up for like a month or two ago?

[Renocide]

I figured since many on here aren't really keeping track I would post this news I just got in a e-mail.

It seems that everyone that pays for entrace will receive a free copy of Farcry 2!! WOOHOO!! (when it's finally released)

They also have on the main page that everyone will get three slices of pizza on Friday evening when they open up.

This is in addition to free swag and things from vendors and such and they say more is coming.

It keeps getting better and better!

[Renocide]

Hmmm...

Ok now I just read that we each get a free copy of Sacred: Fallen Angel as well.

I heard the Farcry 2 announcment via the PC Gamer podcast.

The Sacred game is for sure but they MIGHT have been talking about Sacred 2 when they said Farcry 2 on the podcast.

I will try to confirm and post back when I get some more information.

[Murdock]

Ok everyone...Today (or maybe its tomorrow) is the last day to get your ticket for $40!!! It goes to $60 at the door! Let us know if you are going. So far, its ME, Renocide and TipperZack going. Anyone else?

I am taking the whole day off on Friday. I'll be stopping by my brothers house on the way up, and right now, it looks like I will be sleeping there. Its an hour away, but I'll have to see if the drive will kill me. If it does, I may try to get a hotel.

Have you been listening to the PC Gamer Podcast? http://www.pcgamerpodcast.com/ It is really good. If you don't listen, I highly recommend it! I never miss a week. They are giving away lots of stuff, so it really is worth the price of admision.

[Majestic]

There I said it...I am planning on going...who else is with me?

Well I guess you talked me into it. I'm going. It still cost me $40.

So can we get a group together to car pool? I guess we would need a car big enough. C'mon people! Who's up for it!

[Murdock]

So can we get a group together to car pool? I guess we would need a car big enough. C'mon people! Who's up for it!

I might be interested in carpooling. I've got a mini-van that I might have a problem getting registered, so that's an issue. And I might be staying with at my brother's house. I gota see how far away it is. If its more than an hour, I may just get a hotel room.

Then the last thing is, what time were you planning on leaving? I was going to try to leave at 11:00 to see my brother and hang a bit with him. I need to figure out that stuff today. We could caravan for most/some of the way if we can't car pool.

Who else is coming?

Did you see "NO INTERNET ACCESS"?

Would you like me to send an e-mail to see if I can get you at our table?

From what I understand there will be internet access for STEAM accounts but not for MMORPG's and playing online. Not sure about access for surfing the web and such.

I'm actually going to be at the hotel room right next but I wouldn't mind a caravan down.

I thought about leaving around noon or so.

I can't check into my hotel until 4 pm I think and the check-in for the LAN is 6 pm.

According to my TomTom it's about 3 1/2 to 4 hour trip.

[Majestic]

Zack what time can you leave?

Well Renocide, I live in Old Bridge, Tipperzack lives by Scotch Plains, and if we leave at noon we can get in by 4pm. I guess if we could coordinate times we could pull this off. I dont know if Tipperzack can leave early. It would be nice to be able to get Murdock, but he ads 30 minutes to the trip and he needs to make a stop.

It would be nice to spit the gas and tolls. What do you guys think?
