Deciding on whether to go to dinner with psnation crew or hang out for tourney. Leaning toward tourney if there are spots left.

Check your email in a bit as I'm sending one your way in a few.

I can still order them on the tickets page, so I believe so. I haven't gotten anything yet telling me the final spots have been completely sold out yet.

FYI, games carrying over from last year:

Jungle Hunt
Pac-Man C.E. DX
Sonic
Super Mario Bros.
Tetris DS
Galaga
Neo Turf Masters
Typing of the Dead

Everything else is new this year.

That said, there will be about 8 new games including a few shmups, racing games, something you can play on a tablet, and at least another action game. The only new game we've announced thus far is Zen Pinball 2, though no table specifically.

Remember that you can pick up to 9 games for the tournament out of approximately 16 games to choose from. Challenges themselves can range from high score, survival, best time, etc.

Later.

Do you know what time everything for this starts?

Sorry I failed to get back to you on this for a few days. I was actually in an area with no Internet if you can believe that, heh.

Anyway, tournament is scheduled to start at 8 I believe according to the website. That's what we're planning on, anyway.

Please keep in mind that may not be the time you actually start, however. Since the tournament is set up so that every contestant gets a 'caddy', there will be about 8-10 people that start at 8 PM and then we'll introduce more contestants as things progress through the night.

Later.

Awesome! It was fun last year. I can't wait to do it again this year!

Been a long, long time guys. *EDIT* Just saw you have to pre-reg and pay for the Up to Par tourney, not just "sign up." I'll do my best to make that happen.

Hope all is well.

You may have been the person that snuck in as we were closing it, heh. Up to Par is now sold out as of a few days ago!

Panels were announced... I'm sure a lot of you have already seen the HyperKin announcement on various sites and the return of Billy Mitchell to the MGC (he set the public world record of Donkey Kong back in 2004 at the Midwest Gaming Classic), and I'm also really psyched to see Raven Software at the show going through their long history of some absolutely fantastic games over the years. That should be an outstanding panel!

Later.
