[jtucci31]

Hope at least one of you see this before tomorrow, but i will be a little late to the show. Probably around 1130-12ish. Sorry, trying to fit stuff into an already busy schedule.

[turbokon]

Wish I can there.  Have fun guys.

[hizaygizirlz]

Thanks for the good times everyone.

pics?

[esteban]

Yes, we need pictures. Thank you.

[dan Iacovelli]

was  this streamed on ustream or twitch. thought last year they did that.

[dan Iacovelli]

looks kind of cramped thought they would have you in the room where they do the ghost battles of injustice

[hizaygizirlz]

They expanded the arcade which is a plus.  However that resulted in us getting thrown into the "storage closet" two buildings over which was a minus.

What is funny is that the room we were set up in was next to a really big room which  instead became Chop's lair.

Maybe next time we will be able to set all the TV's and chairs up in that one.

Still was easy to have a great time though.

[dan Iacovelli]

that is why you always check the place first before jumping the gun.
why do you thinking I'm waiting to announce vgs, have to check out the location
first.

special thanks to cabbage for craking out the Octurbofest Mini-game!  If you ask nicely, he may share Iit with you (or tell you to get bent.)

Cabbage is awesome!

Cabbage is awesome! 

Indeed! As is chops for resurrecting my turbo express!  I had a blast meeting everyone. Only have two regrets:  I didn't have more DoxPhile branded stuff to hand out, and I didn't take more pictures!

My one regret: I didn't have enough time to go eat pizza with you guys and hang out after. Had a busy weekend but at least I got ample time at Octurbofest.

I'm glad ya came out Nullity! It was great to meet ya. Hope your stay in the Chicagoland area was everything you hoped it would be!

how did i miss the octurbofest mini game??

thanks to chany and everyone that made this event possible, and to everyone that lugged their turbob out so that everyone could obey.  also, it was cool running into the regulars, as well as meeting new people this year. hopefully it won't be another year before we can all get together again.

[roflmao]

Sounds like you guys had a blast (as expected)! I wish I could have been there.  Hopefully I'll make my way up there next year.

[Mathius]

I wish I had an extra day to bask in Galloping Ghost's plethora of new machines.

We were minus a few regulars this year but at least I got to meet some new faces. Miss you guys already.

(the ROM is available on my website)

...so what good games did you all play there? Any high-score competitions on 2- or 5-min Soldier games or some such?

How many people went total? Hey, is that Croooow I see in the back?
