Eurogamer Expo 2012: 27th-30th September, London

[panchromatic]

Sorry about the spreadsheet, Sam; I accidentally made it read-only. Adam duplicated it and I've updated the link.

[Mighty Hatman]

Also, if JJ is okay with it (which I'm sure he will be I just don't want to act on his behalf) my Saturday ticket could go to any Dtoid folk who haven't been able to get one. They're sold out now so I assume at least one person didn't get one.

Is he still over the pond?

[Watermanx]

If the Peter Molyneux session is anything like the one at rezzed, it'll be shite.

[RinseWashRepeat]

He was good at a BAFTA event I went to. I think it helped that he was on stage with Ian Livingstone who would call him out on bullshit he said.

[Watermanx]

I went to that, he was much, much better in that Q&A.

[RinseWashRepeat]

There you go then.

Also, I love the idea of seeing Kojima speak, but what's the reality of that going to be like? Some translator laughing at what he's saying, and then telling us what he said failing to make us laugh. When a translator gets involved, it's just awkward.

[panchromatic]

I assume I'll need to be added to something to add to it. The google account I used which was added to the mailer by Hollie way back is dead. I guess now is a good time as any to request being added once more. mobilehat@googlemail.com is the new one.

I don't think I can add you, but if you reapply to the new one I'll get you approved ASAP.

Fuck you for selling that hard earned ticket off like it's tainted.

AM I JUST A BIG WALLET TO YOU?!?!?

Tl;dr s'cool.

Update for the non-mailer folk:


Okay, so looking at the spreadsheet, the following people are looking for tickets.


StickTwiddlers: Gavin, Robert, Germany

Has everyone who paid more than the required £5 added other names to theirs? I know JJ has a spare now that Sam isn't in attendance; not sure if it's been offered out already.

Eurogamer: Mikey (all days). Is everyone else okay?


Seeing Looper: Lots of interest for this - are we able to pin down a day? I'm guessing it would be Sunday?


Food: Any further suggestions? Aidan's suggestion of Princi looks both awesome and affordable and the other suggestion appears to be Byron's. Please speak up if you have a preference for either: saying you're fine with whatever is actually less help than you think it is. We'll get a headcount and make a booking for Sunday afternoon, yeah?


Drinks: I'll book a couple of tables for B@1 on Sunday. I know we normally do Soho, but Hammersmith is closer and cheaper by £2 a cocktail. It's a nice branch too and probably roomier. Though if we eat at Soho, we might as well stay in the area.

Any further advances on Friday night? I think we've all but ruled out expensive shenanigans. Chandos or similar seems to be the consensus. Pipe up!


Thanks for all the input, guys!

[Ace Flibble]

I can add one person to my donation for the StickTwiddlers party too.

[panchromatic]

Saw your email; ta, Seb. As JJ donated £20, I think we should be okay covering the other three people that I know of. If any others pop out of the woodwork, I'll send them in your direction!

Shit. I already asked on twitter too.

[Tarvu]

StickTwiddlers posted an FAQ with entertainment listed. Seems it'll be the same as last year except for a few poor souls promoting Resident Evil 6 or whatever.

Le edit: god dammit JJ.

[JJMccallum]

Don't mess with the best.

[Tarvu]

It's weird how small their readerbase and community is compared to how much they get and the events they put on like this. Like they got 250 War of the Roses beta keys last week compared to the 50 Destructoid got. Brits got swag.

[Mighty Hatman]

Destructoid doesn't give out free alcohol in Ripoff London.

[Tarvu]

I bet Kotaku get trucks of free champagne.

[Mighty Hatman]

Wouldn't mind one of those to myself.

[JJMccallum]

Fucking alcoholic

[Mighty Hatman]

I'd take my time!
