Can't make it to PAX? Because you live in Europe and you're Wii only prints money for Nintendo but not for you? You spent all your money for planetickets on games? You simply haven't got the dough? I've offer you a solution...
Well this is just a first notification, more information will come later, but for now, here's what's confirmed allready...
- Location: Essen, Belgium ( not the one in Germany )
- Date & Time: August 29th to August 31st ( same as PAX )
- 30 consoles ( from atari 2600 to PS3 )
- Some weird 'controllers' like a snowboard for xbox, wireless-figthing-cages for PS2, dancemats, uzi-lightgun etc etc
- 1 beamer
- 1 HDTV
- 6 regular TV's
Some information about the location:
- Its located in an industrial site, so there won't be any sound-restrictions and normally also not too many people that we can annoy with our noise.
- There's ample space for caming, so those who want some privacy to sleep can put up a tent to sleep ( also this ensures 24/24 availability of the gaming-areas :-) ) there will be some spare tents anyway so those who come by train don't even have to bother bringing one...
-There's an image below here, taken to one side, from about the middle of the main room,
and we'll have about 4 or 5 of these rooms.
but first we got the basic layout of the place:
so if you could zoom in closer ( and tilt the camera ), you'd see this:
Also there's allready a bunch of people from the UK planning on travelling together by train, so if you're from that general area, I think the idea is to get together in London and then travel onward... I suggest you check with BunnyRabbit2 or njsykora on IRC.
So anyway, if you feel like coming, feel free to do so :-) More information will follow as the date draws closer, keep an eye on my clog I'd say!

Sorry.
Yeah give me a shout if you're planning on joining our UK army on the march into Belgium, I'll try to co-ordinate things.
Also what Bunny said. Fuck PAX.
