Midwest Gaming Classic 2011 - March 26th & 27th

[Mathius]

I am staying at the Sheraton where the convention will be held. I will be leaving Monday morning.

I'm staying at a undisclosed location muuuuahhh ha ha ha

Sheraton... $89 a night is pretty good and you can't beat being able to walk downstairs to the convention in your underwear.    Too bad I'm not a hot Maxim cover model. 

Anyway, I'm sending out a few last-minute items for the Turbo Fest and Jagfest here in a bit, so if you've been e-mailing me lately, you should expect one soon-ish.  Also, in case you guys are looking for show updates, you can of course get things like event guides and maps on www.midwestgamingclassic.com, and you can also visit the semi-official thread over at our media partner, VGEVO: http://www.vgevo.com/site/showthread.php?t=285469.  They've also got a bunch of threads for things like the karaoke party Friday night, VGEVO party Saturday, and whatever else.

That said, I do try to post as much Turbo-related items as I can here, but for time reasons there may be a few things I'm unable to comment on.

Later.

Anyone that is driving that can fit a TV in their car please bring it! Looks like they aren't supplying TVs at the event.

I've got a small usb powered projector that can take composite.  It can make a decent looking 30" or so screen on a wall or piece of paper or whatever... has a small speaker built in too.  I had planned on bringing it just in case.

Joshua is planning on bringing one too. I'll leave this as last resort. Thanks!!!

yep, I'll have my projector.  it can do some pretty decent sized screen! 

I've got two spare copies of Ldis for prizes if desired.

How 'bout u sell me one instead!  LOL

Lol you can have one

Ok, BMW!!  You are by far the most generous human being I've ever encountered!!  What did I find in my mailbox this afternoon?  A really amazing copy of L-DIS!!  Holy cats man!!  I HAVE TO REPAY YOU SOMEHOW!!!  LOL

Thank you again my friend.  This has found a nice warm home and will receive many hours of gameplay.

[DHG Hunter]

Gotta admit I had to look L-DIS up...

Anyway, yes, TV's...  I had implied that way back when, but I probably should have made special note of that since it is so critical.

I might be able to provide you guys with two Commodore monitors with composite jacks (yellow and white), but we probably won't know our TV situation for another day or two yet.  Josh has a projector, so that would leave you potentially with three TV's on I believe three consoles.  Any more than that and you guys are probably going to run out of room real fast.  Of course, if you guys can still provide a few TV's, then things would be much more certain.

I can bring a TV!
it's a little small, and only does mono sound though, is that cool?

anyway, i'll be bringing all my games, in case anyone wants to trade or something, along with a multitap, 3 pce controllers, and 1 turbo controller
anything else i should drag along?

also-
ONE WEEK COUNTDOWN COMMENCE!

[_joshuaTurbo]

Yes bring whatever TV's you can.  A few years ago, we had an issue where we only had brought one TV (2007 I think?) and we had to bum a few off poor JD...lol, but yeah- I'll see if I'll be able to snag along a TV as well, the only problem, is it will be crazy small (13in).

So, we'll see.  Just bring 'em if ya got 'em.

[DHG Hunter]

Any chance someone can tell me what the controls of Zenki are for the PC-FX?  I'm under the gun to try and finish some stuff up, and I don't have time to pop the game in and see what every button does.  =P  I know the top buttons are your special attacks, but beyond that I don't remember the bottom row.

You can't just pull TVs out of your rooms at the Sheraton? 
Have fun guys.  I'll make it one of these years!

Yes, and I certainly hope you feel "empowered" when you're sitting at home in Iowa boycotting a Milwaukee teacher and his teacher wife.

Guyjin, there aren't many folks that I feel deserve to be ignored, but you've made the list.
