Midwest Gaming Classic 2013

[bob]

Hmm well the youtuber croooow has put up a mgc video.

Wish i could have gone but $ has been tight lately.

Its great to see young kids really into.

[DragonmasterDan]

I'm not there today for day #2 but nice to see everyone yesterday.

[SignOfZeta]

Bomberman was fun. Running it on two displays was a GREAT idea. I can't tell you how many Bomberman tournaments I've run and for some reson none of us ever thought of that.

Next year you should do Death Tank Zwei. It's only seven players but it...might actually be more fun than Bomberman SS. I'm not sure. It's really really fun.

there were some patrons walking around with beers and nothings funnier than a buzzed person asking loud dumb questions about video games.

heres a quick semi hidden vid of the woman that everyone was talking about,she freakin knew i was taping as she passes. shes a mystery and is considered an annual nuisance. i noticed she had on a wiccan amulet so she may be a sister witch,who knows. perhaps more have stories to share of her or rumors. thats the back of bluebmw at the end.

That mall is called Brookfield Square Mall. Never heard of the Dawn of the Dead reference.

[turboswimbz]

I have no clue why i know this but dawn of the dead was filmed in and around Pittsburgh PA. According to Wikipedia this was the mall used:  monroeville mall.

Edit for link.

[Arkhan]

How did Pyramid Plunder go there?  I didn't see it in any footage, lol.

[Mathius]

I haven't been filming anything this weekend. Just been too busy. Pyramid Plunder and Monolith are both on display today though. PP got two days of exposure.

[TheClash603]

Yeah, turboswinbz is right.  If you get the ultimate edition Dawn of the Dead multi-dvd set, it has some commercials of the Monroeville Mall, which is talked about quite extensively in the features.

Don't know why, but I dig the commercial above.

[Arkhan]

yes!

EXPOSE THE  PP.

Dude, that Monroeville Mall commercial is brilliant. The soundscape + imagery =

[roflmao]

I wish I could have made it.  Looks like much fun was had all around!

[Mathius]

Wrapping up the show. Ashe and me are dead tired but we all had a great time. We saw sightings of Chop, D-Dan, Chany, SignOfZeta, Barboly, and Sean Corse of Famicom Dojo came by to hang with us on Saturday night. The show was epic as always and I will post my haul shortly.

[Keranu]

Had a blast and met a lot of new PCEFXers finally! Chany, DragonmasterDan, Mathius, chop5, BlueBMW: nice to meet all of yous! And of course the rest of ya, good to see you again! Your all some cool, humble folks.

Now I gotta figure out how to get this chopsado to work!
