Man, not sure if I'd go without some sweet, sweet BEET BEET to sweeten the deal.

Re: GenCon 2013
It was announced on July 20th last year. Might be a while before we know.

Re: GenCon 2013
Given the low amount of business, I don't know if they would make another appearance or not.

I know you're just itching to click Reply and post about how the price is too high, but take a deep breath. In... Out... Yes, it is expensive. If you weren't previously planning on going to GenCon, it's a lot of cash. If you were, it's cheaper than playing in an arcade. If it helps, the price tends to make a nice barrier of entry. Unlike Anime cons, the GenCon lines are pretty reasonable. You shouldn't have to wait a long time (if at all) in between games. Others can share their experience.

Update. If the GenCon badge thing is a deal breaker, send me a PM.

Re: GenCon 2013
They won't take cash, correct? We have to buy and pay in tickets like a fucking carnival?

Re: GenCon 2013
Correct. Generic tickets are $2. It's kinda lame, but they look at everything as an event. Even free things need a ticket.Merk wrote:They won't take cash, correct? We have to buy and pay in tickets like a fucking carnival?

Re: GenCon 2013
So, in conclusion, if you want to play all day erryday Bemani at Gencon then it will cost $140.
As a grown ass man this is not a lot of money and I can appreciate the event since I never, ever could get Tricoro working on my home setup. I can however see how this would be prohibitively expensive to those without a fair amount of disposable income.

(34*3)+80=182. Hourly that would be about $2.50.
Do keep in mind that Bemani Invasion represents such a small part of GenCon that it is a side activity at best. Factor in housing, travel, and food, and GenCon is way cheaper than other events.

Re: GenCon 2013
Welp, bought the badge, tickets, and asked off work.
This is going to be a pretty exciting weekend! I hope to be drunk often. I will volunteer my car for the sweet downtown parking I get.
