Gone' to Con'

[Dyne]

For the next couple of days, I'm going to be away at the Necrowombicon (www.pacult.com/nwc.php) here in Vancouver. In my posse are Dylflon and Fissionmailed. So, yeah. I'm going away.. they might post.. but.. I need my sleep.

So, yeah. I'm not here for a few days.

Don't worry, I'm taking tons of pictures.

[Dylflon]

For those of you unaware of what the Necrowombicon is:

It's a convention for www.penny-arcade.com which is a website that produces web comics. I suggest you go there. Theres some REALLY funny stuff. We'll be hanging out and nerding it up.

We get to meet the guys who make the site, GABE AND TYCHO. Me and Fission met em last year. They were great.

We're all going to take part in a SSBM tourney. Wish us luck.

Buy a "Shut your (> hole" Shirt!

[gekko]

Cool. Have fun.

[Happydude]

good luck at SSB:M...

[GameMaster]

Play as Mewtwo!

[gekko]

Bah. Mr. Game & Watch is teh pimp!

[TheSlyMoogle]

AHH get a "Got wang?"

T-Shirt instead! Got Wang? And Maybe a CTS shirt also. Oh I wish I could go to the con... I will next year.

[Dylflon]

It depends on if they have any shirts at all. I'm sure selection will be limited. But we'll take pictures of any shirts we buy. I'm going to show off my skills at pool. I'll whip anyone. I'll need a couple practice games to get my groove back but you just wait and see.

[Jason1]

I seem to be the best with Mr. Game and Watch in SSB Melee. But you should be whoever you are best with.

[Seven7]

I would like to go but I don't feel like driving some 16+hours or what ever it would be to get there right now.

Well Have fun Dyne, Dlyflon and FissionMailed.

Any other former EGW members here also ???

[TheSlyMoogle]

I'm best with Falco, up until SSB:M I was super awesome with Fox. But then Falco came along and shook things up. He's got everything Fox used to have and a whole lot more.

P.S. When I was in like 8th grade I spent an entire summer playing nothing but like SSB. It was so sad. I must have clocked like 1000 hours on that game, like no joke. I was a poor kid and I could only buy games I thought looked cool in the magazines I used to get. And man SSB was cool.

[Dylflon]

Great to see you Seven!

We just got back from the first day of the con. It was amazing. It was at this arcade in Burnaby, B.C.

Me n' Fission went last year and played Tycho in air hockey and lost.

This year it was my goal to come back and beat him. I trained against Fission, Dyne and a friend of our named Steven. Dyne helped me out soooo much. I developed some skill and tecnique. I was my very own Rocky story. You know, I'm Rocky and Tycho is Mr . T and he beats me and with the help of my trainers I come back and beat him.

Guess what? I WON!!! It was the most intense and fun match I had ever played in my life. It was 6-6 and I got the final point. We were working the crowd.

And you know what else? I might get to be in one of their comics!

I also played a lot of pool. That was fun. I played Dance Dance Revolution as well.

AND, I got carpel tunnel syndrome in my right wrist from playing (and owning at) Marvel vs. Capcom 2.

It was soo fun. And the best part is: THERE'S TWO MORE DAYS OF IT!

Ahh I've so wanted to go to the con' since like two years ago... Back when I discovered PA. I'm so jealous of you... AHH! Only a year to go until I'm 18 and out of my parents ruling! Hooray!

[Dyne]

Aw yeah, it was fabulous. We saw all kinds of people there. We saw a guy from Radical Entertainment, we saw a guy from Digipen (and Dylflon played DDR with him), and best of all, all three of us got to talk to Gabe and Tycho. And.. we all asked them questions at the QA. It was great.

I really don't know what I should get signed tomorrow. I think I'm going to bring a bunch of cardboard tubes, my Dreamcast, my PSOne, I might get my shirt signed, and I'm going to take some photographic paper and print out some comics for them to sign.

We've worked it out.. Dyl got what he wanted, which was winning against Tycho (I beat him five times horribly until the sixth. I knew he was ready. lol), Fission is probably going to take the SSBM cup (I've probably only played it for 20 hours in my life anyways.. lol), and I'm going to increase the value of my collection. Mwahahaha.

Thanks for the good wishes people. I wish you could all come.

Tomorrow are the tournaments... hopefully I'll place in the SC2 one, cause I absolutely creamed everyone in the demo I played at Future Shop.

I also have it set up so I can meet someone from my other boards. Unfortunately there's probably only one more guy that could come (He had a canucks avatar?) but I forgot his name. Well, it's too late anyways.

Heh, we walked all the way down to 711, and were too tired to walk back, so I got my dad to drive us. Then he treated us to Arby's.

Anyways I played GGXX, LAN CS, DDR, CVS2, SF3, Air Hockey, I played some Blaster Bros with Fission. When I was playing GGXX a guy came up and challenged me. I totally owned him the first round but the next two rounds he owned me. Lol. Well, then I watched him play for about 6 more AI computers and he died to the guy with the paper bag on his head, forget his name...

God, it was amazing. I can't wait for tomorrow.

[Jonbo298]

Man, from what you've said Dyne, I wish I could've gone. Oh well, there's always next year:p

[Dyne]

Ok, well, I was going to post what happened today, but it's SO ****ING MUCH, OH MY GOD. Amazing things happened today, and I took over 70 pictures. Yes, it was that exciting.

I think we'll make a big thread on it or something, and don't worry, I'm probably going to upload the images to my server.

I will post a teaser now to give you an idea of it's awesomeness, though. Enjoy. :)

And yeah, that's Gabe on the left, and Porkfry on the right. Gabe racked up 32 kills in Halo in 10 minutes. He's crazy at it.

[Dylflon]

Alright. So now that the con is over and I've gotten some sleep; I'll give you a break-down of the last two days.

On the second day a lot of people brought their computers to set up for giant LAN games. So most of the people there were glued to their computers.

There were tournaments for console games. I lost every single one. But Fission won the Smash bros. tourney as Peach and now gets a free Penny Arcade shirt.

Me n' Dyne went to London Drugs to get sharpies. There were these walk signs. Instead of going "beep-boop bee-boop" they's go "Walk sign is on. Walk sign is on." This confused us greatly. On the little pad with the button you could see in bold letters; "PATENT PENDING".

Tycho gave us a pre-release copy of Mario Golf. It was pretty cool.

Then we just hung out on the third day and played a whole bynch of different games.

Even though the con ended yesterday, I'm still freakin tired.

I think I'll go back to bed now.

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

lol, sounds cool, is it always in BC???? or does it move throughout canada/North America?

[Dylflon]

The first Necrowombicon was in Seattle. they did the last two in B.C. They said they were coming to B.C. again next year. But, you can never be sure.

The con doesn't tour or anything. It's pretty much just a one time a year deal.

[Dyne]

Alright guys, I've typed up our excursion already. I just need to resize all the pics and I'll create another thread for it.. It deserves it.
