Will there be a designated spot for DS/wireles gaming stuff like Pictochat and whatnot? I know there was one at Sakuracon and I actually have a DS now. Pictochat at con would be epic...

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1 on:** April 16, 2008, 10:13:00 am »

If there is I hope it is better then the one at Sak. I know the guy who started up the one at Sakuracon and he was sad at the turnout of people at it. Then again it was just some massive place out in the open to sit and I didn't even know it was the wireless hangout until the end of the 2nd day there.

I plan on having some way of making people know that they should bring their wireless gaming systems (including laptops) and having some listings of what people are playing or interested in playing.

I think Mario Party would be fun with strangers

It would be.

harukenshin · « **Reply #7 on:** April 21, 2008, 11:02:51 pm »

what should happen is that someone should set a place and time...

like for at K-con sunday night 10:30 at someplace so that people know where it would be

(and thats just an example)

HellSap · « **Reply #8 on:** April 22, 2008, 01:38:34 pm »

The gaming room is going to be in one large room. It'll be easy to set up a corner somewhere for people to play.

harukenshin · « **Reply #9 on:** April 22, 2008, 11:03:48 pm »

well then we should have somebody go and talk to them about that and see what we could do

laurifer · « **Reply #10 on:** April 22, 2008, 11:13:01 pm »

Yeah that sounds good. I'm not the most amazing/competitive gamer but I like to have fun!

harukenshin · « **Reply #11 on:** April 22, 2008, 11:16:44 pm »

that should be the point of all of the games....

yes there are people that take things to far and become a sore loser

DancingTofu · « **Reply #12 on:** April 22, 2008, 11:32:41 pm »

A thought that's occurred to me is to have a board on one wall of the room where people can put some kind of indication of what games they're interested in playing with others and stuff. Maybe just a big whiteboard. The general feeling I had at Sakuracon was that the only way I'd find someone to play Monster Hunter with was if I happened to see someone playing monster hunter and said ZOMG LET'S HUNT MONSTERS TOGETHER!!!!

I kind of want to take the lead as far as game room layout goes this year, so if I do, I'll try to incorporate a lounge suitable for portable gaming (you know, couches and stuff) in the game room.

Also, Slim PSP's can plug in to TV's, so there might be some smallish (20"-30") tv's available for that too.

kyletothejones · « **Reply #13 on:** April 26, 2008, 04:26:08 pm »

Suddenly, I arrive! If there isn't an official DS lounge, which is unlikely, I'll bring some chairs and a sign. It sounds like I may be helping staff the game room this year though. If that happens, than my ds will be the ds that pierces the heavens.

kurosakiichigo666 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 27, 2008, 03:48:52 am »

Me, you, Nikki, and Charles should all play Taiko...Epicness would ensue...

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #15 on:** April 27, 2008, 09:59:12 am »

Agree'd~

DancingTofu · « **Reply #16 on:** April 27, 2008, 02:39:27 pm »

Is dat sum DS gaem?

I probably won't be getting a DS any time soon. I'm going to aim to make about $2000 this summer and it's all going into 8 3" DDR pads w/ 3"d 38"h bars ($600), 2 DTIDX 18" DDR pads w/ 3"d 38"h bars ($320), 2 StepMania cabinets ($500), 6 cheap desktops ($480), 5 cheap TV's ($200), and a decent video/audio capture card ($100).

kurosakiichigo666 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 27, 2008, 02:50:27 pm »

Wow that was all French to me.....I need to start learning about DDR stuff or something....wow.....talk about technical.....

DancingTofu · « **Reply #18 on:** April 27, 2008, 09:18:15 pm »

3"d 38"h bars = 38" high bars that are 3" thick
DTIDX 18" DDR pad = 18" thick deluxe DDR stage with backlit DT100 buttons.

Anything else lol?

kurosakiichigo666 · « **Reply #19 on:** April 27, 2008, 09:50:18 pm »

DT 100? Sounds like a damn nice pad though.

kyletothejones · « **Reply #20 on:** April 28, 2008, 10:59:07 am »

2k for a hobby? That is intense... Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to hide all my guitars/amplifiers/computers/books/etc/etc...

kurosakiichigo666 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 28, 2008, 09:42:21 pm »

Haha, that's good. I've never spent even 1000 bucks on something combined....

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #22 on:** April 29, 2008, 07:34:15 am »

Manga: $2000
Anime: $1500
Videogames: $3000

Holy crap!! I'm so glad my reception place and premarital counseling is free!! You are spending more on the site then I am on my dress!!! Exclamation points!!! Where are you having the reception/where are you getting the counseling?

Invitations done by hand = Wayyyy cheaper. I'm still tryign to configure all the costs but I spent $25 and got enough cardstock for 200 invitations.

superjaz · « **Reply #25 on:** April 29, 2008, 06:21:45 pm »

we are going to have the reception at grand lodge, it is a bit pricey but for 100 peeps yeah
also all the money i am spending on that goes to foods, the room has a food budget min of 2600, so i spend that much on all the food for the reception and there is no room rental fee

laurifer · « **Reply #29 on:** May 01, 2008, 09:22:14 pm »

Okay back on track...so if there was a designated area would it just be a gaming free-for-all or will there actually be a sign with like available games to play? Cos it might be hard to just sit around waiting for the right person to come by and play with you.

One of my button designs. I'm currently using DT100, DT200, DT300, DT600, and DT900 pushbuttons in my designs.

kurosakiichigo666 · « **Reply #31 on:** May 03, 2008, 12:57:28 pm »

OK, what I think may be a good idea would be to maybe have a whiteboard in the area and when you enter the wireless area you write down what games you have with you and whether or not they are download play compatible. That way when someone comes in they look at the whiteboard and say, "hey who has taiko? wanna download play?" or whatever. and when you leave just erase your name from the whiteboard. I'll even supply the whiteboard if need be.

laurifer · « **Reply #32 on:** May 03, 2008, 01:43:25 pm »

That sounds like a good idea! Maybe we can get a list going so you can tell what groups are available and which are full (cos it would suck if I wanted to play Mario Kart but found out the group is full D:)

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #33 on:** May 03, 2008, 01:51:28 pm »

So I will definately be hitting the lounge up if it happens. I'll probably bring Taiko no Tatsujin for the DS too so bring an extra stylus.

kurosakiichigo666 · « **Reply #34 on:** May 04, 2008, 02:56:39 am »

Well let's start the list now then. So we got Taiko, Pictochat (duh), Animal Crossing (I know ~boogiepop~ and kyletothejones are bringing it), Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, sounds like Mario Kart probably.....keep adding on as you see fit. I'm gonna go buy the whiteboard Monday

DancingTofu · « **Reply #35 on:** May 04, 2008, 09:42:59 am »

Monster Hunter Freedom 2/Portable 2nd G (PSP)

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #36 on:** May 04, 2008, 10:16:15 am »

ANIMAL CROSSING LOLOLOLOLOL Sean you can play on mine again and plant all my flowers behind my houses because I know you love that game soooooo much~ Yeah Taiko also from me and I'll have Trioncube, Elite Beat Agents, The World Ends with you ::{Though I have no idea how the multiplayer works}::, and Ontamarama.

laurifer · « **Reply #37 on:** May 04, 2008, 01:02:15 pm »

I have Animal Crossing too! Although, I haven't played it much so I think my town is infested with weeds....and roaches XD

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #38 on:** May 04, 2008, 01:33:07 pm »

I haven't turned mine on in awhile either. OMG I missed KK Slider yesterday! I am sad now.

kurosakiichigo666 · « **Reply #39 on:** May 04, 2008, 01:46:37 pm »

Nikki, I would only play that game again to wreak total havoc and devastation upon your puny little town. Planting flowers behind houses is just the beginning. Next I will be irate to the shopkeeper, redecorate your house without you knowing, and STEAL ALL THE ORANGES!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Then I'll save and turn it off because I've done everything there is to do in the game......

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #40 on:** May 04, 2008, 01:59:11 pm »

At least you'll save so Mr.Resetti won't yell at me

laurifer · « **Reply #41 on:** May 04, 2008, 02:19:09 pm »

Oi KK Slider was yesterday...awwww

I remember when I was hellbent on getting every single fruit...now that I have, it's like, what's the excitement in this? lol

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #42 on:** May 04, 2008, 09:51:01 pm »

It's a pretty pointless game if you look at it from a different perspective. BUT THE FUN NEVER STOPS SO I DON'T CARE!

Also you could say that many games are pointless. Like for example, my favorite game ever, DDR.

You stomp on arrows.

Whooo...

DancingTofu · « **Reply #43 on:** May 05, 2008, 09:11:17 pm »

IT MAKES YOU A SPARTAAAN AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Kurokaizoku · « **Reply #44 on:** May 06, 2008, 09:25:14 pm »

Pending the game room set up and space limitations(ie how many tables/systems/tvs will be set up and computers) we could fit a spot for a 'handheld lounge'. Whiteboard may be less easily accommodated as I'm not sure the hotels policy on tacking things to the wall. On the other hand if there is a small table or something free to use theer you can just prop the board there....

I've got about 10 or so DS games I can bring available for checkout if that is something that sounds doable. I just have to check how well it works in and out of a ds if it has a sticker from a label maker on it.... >.> That may cause issues.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #45 on:** May 06, 2008, 09:29:49 pm »

I'll gladly build an easel for the whiteboard if I have dimensions. It would take about $10 and 20 minutes to make.

kyletothejones · « **Reply #47 on:** May 07, 2008, 10:01:39 am »

Ah, this is going well. I'll definitely buy some beanbags once I find out space stuff from Senior Mark. I will make it my personal mission to complete the lounge, though. Above all else! Any other ideas for sweet stuff? I think I'll make some sort of simple Nintendo WIFI sign to put up so it's easier to spot.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #48 on:** May 07, 2008, 05:03:04 pm »

I'm actually going to talk to Jaki about there being 2 gaming spaces at this point; with a wireless lounge and all the Bemani stuff I'm looking to bring in, I can see we won't fit in the Pacific Northwest Ballroom comfortably.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #49 on:** May 07, 2008, 07:31:17 pm »

Put both next to each other and I'll never leave the room.

So is the whiteboard thing a fo' sho'? Because I like that idea.
