GameCityNights S02E04
Hello gorgeous members of the Oddworld Forums.
As you hopefully already know, Stewart Gilray and (via Skype) Lorne Lanning will be speaking at Episode 4 of this new season of GameCityNights, which is taking place in Nottingham, UK, on Thursday 28th April. Here's the link to the official site. Tickets should go on sale in the first few days of April, and I fully intend to get mine! I also know at least a few other fans have expressed an interest, and I'm looking forward to meeting them at the event. If you're amongst those eager and likely to attend, say so here! We might be able to form a little cluster on the night. ;) |
I live nowhere near Nottingham, so alas I cannot go.
Also, you live in Sheffield. My sister lives there. Spooky. |
Way to much work I'm afraid, unless I can magically teleport myself over there I don't think I'll be able to make it.
|
I live in Nottingham so i'm going :D
We can meet up Max!! :tard: |
I'd love to go there, but since I live in Finland, it is impossible for me to go there. *sigh*
|
I wish I could but I'm not old enough to go all the way to Nottingham by myself and if I asked my parents to take me they'd not have the cash/ bollock me for wanting to go to a gaming thing.
|
Bit of a drive, that. I shall get the lowdown here after the event. That's what this place is for, eh? :D
|
How much do you reckon tickets'll be? I'm so tempted!
|
Tickets for Ep 3 are just a fiver!
|
... Kinda tempted myself actually, only problem is current lack of money. I'm not sure how much it's going to hurt my purse to get the train from Stafford, it's pretty painful just going to Stoke. Granted, I could always prod housemates and make a day of it. :D
I'm estimating it'd cost me anywhere between ten and fifteen quid total, considering the ticket price and general prices of trains... |
Holy shit that's awesome, more tempted!
|
go go go!
I wanna meet up with some memebers :D |
The whole meeting there thing does sound good. I'll have to check schedule wise but i'll get back to you guys if i'm going.
|
will there be a bar? otherwise, no.
|
There can be a pub visit…
|
=( You'd have to buy me drinks like a dad. Haha.
|
I'm not going in a pub with anyone not old enough to buy their own drinks. Too much hassle.
|
I'll meet you in the GameCityNight then.
I hate Bars |
This gonna be an official meet up sorta thing then? I'd like that.
|
What would make it official?
Give it a fancy name like for the oddtour? |
OddCon. Con meaning Concession in this case.
|
I'm not fussed whether it's an OddTour or not, although it would probably mark the least amount of participant travel that ever went into one.
Maybe OddMeet? OddCon has to be reserved for something altogether grander. |
Odd People Talking To Each Other.
|
I don't care what it's called, it'd still be nice to meet some people. :/

Interesting...

Yeah I saw you went there to take the temperature... how was it?
|
I had a great night! I got to see the latest projects of Amanita Design (Samorost, Machinarium), there's plenty of talks, competitions and intervals (for the purpose of buying drinks). There are also screens for showcasing indie games and there was a stand showing of the 3DS, but I didn't look at any of that.
Episode 4 will be a fun night for Oddworld fans. I'm planning on spending the whole day and night in Nottingham so I don't have to miss the start or end. |
I don't suppose there'll be a recording or something for those of us who can't attend?
|
There was a camera there filming the whole thing. Don't know if that goes online for free or what.
Also, tickets are now available to pre-order for a charmingly cheap five quid: https://onlinestore.ntu.ac.uk/browse...id=1&deptid=12 |
Wonderful price, just pre-ordered my ticket!
|
Oh dear. You and Max in the same room.
Bring a taser. |
Have fun! Too bad I live in Canada, which is a huge bummer.
|
I would like to point out to anyone worried that they'll need a taser/mace/nuclear deterrent that I am a very good boy and my hands only wander where people ask them to.
|
What if I ask you to put them on Jordan?
|
Five quid? That's brilliant!
I still can't afford it at the moment, but it shouldn't be too hard to raise/borrow. :D |
Ok, foolishly I've bought my ticket without really thinking things though. Traveling by train it's going to take me about 6 hours to get there, 6pm-11pm means i'm not going to get back home until the next day. I could just give up now but I thought I'd ask everyone who's going how they plan to either stay or get back home.
|
I made a stupid too, didn't check what time it was. And it says the event is 18+ on the Game City website. What the hell?
|
Did it say over 18s only?
