Re: LRRcon 2014
You can have a hojillion nerds milling about with booths advertising all the sooper-dooper high-tech gadgetry and video games (oh, and maybe a comic or two). Or you can have a tight community of concentrated awesome nerds playing tabletop games and watching sketch comedy all day long. CHOOSE WISELY.

Re: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - As Narrated by Jack
Paul, I don't know if I respect you or want to strangle you for leading us right into that joke about Harpo NOT betraying the Marx Brothers. That was so perfectly executed.

Re: LRRcon 2014
Just as a friendly reminder: This IS a gathering where a lot of nerdy stuff is going to go down. Thus, if you have a 3DS, it may be in your best interests to bring it along, make sure Streetpass Plaza is fired up and ready, and keep it in your pocket/bag. Because it's stupid and silly fun, that's wh...

Re: LRRcon 2014
Hrm. I'm notoriously bad at pub-style trivia. Even moreso when the topic is "all things geeky", which generally translates out to "those specific geeky things about which I don't happen to be geeky". Blast!

I know I'll have my passport with me!

Re: LRRcon 2014
What I've generally found with group rate rooms is that the rate might not be the absolute minimum you can find anywhere for the same room, but, in addition to being in the same block as everyone else in the group, it winds up being beneficial to the people putting on the event (LRR in this case) in...

Re: Your Porn isn't Canadian enough
After seeing the news graphic after everyone was introduced by how much they hate spring, I was expecting to see Graham having edited the video. After all, we know how he feels about spring (but not summer).

Re: LRRcon 2014
@Fayili, just a thought, but have you looked into taking the bus instead of flying? Not sure how far south you are, but bussing would probably be way cheaper. I don't really want to bus across pretty much the entirety of California, Oregon, and Washington. :P Could be worse. You could be starting f...

If you come up early, have access to a car, and want to go exploring, there's a fair amount of nerd-friendly fun down by the Commons Mall (formerly SeaTac Mall, mentioned in a Sir Mix-a-Lot song my brother used to listen to a lot.) There's West Coast Sports Cards and Comics (they sell Magic), Fanta...

Hey, here's a thought... will the Kickstarter-promised tennis ball cannon video be done by LRRcon? And, if so, will the named tennis balls be brought to LRRcon for any backers who would want to pick them up conveniently?

Re: LRRcon 2014
CaptainSpam, you're correct that it's the Doubletree by SEATAC and not the one downtown. Hope you can make it, it should be fun (my socially awkward penguin-ness aside). Man, that's odd. Maybe I'm not reading the map right, or maybe I'm just not too familiar with the locations of SEATAC's exit door...

I...huh. I thought it would be fun and economical to share a room, but my introvert brain spent the day reminding me how much I need a quiet space to decompress after being with crowds of people. I think I need to withdraw my quasi-offer. Stupid introvert brain, making me all twitchy about people. ...

Re: The House of Stark
I understand Ada's campaign to be much shorter. It's more of a bonus. Yeah, I would assume a campaign consisting entirely of "set up everything for the player before anything bad gets there, then fire a grappling hook in some vague upward direction" would be much shorter than "slog t...

Graham was having a few streaming issues last night. I don't think the framerate problem ever got fixed, for instance, or at least it never did on my end.

Re: Checkpoint+
On the latest stream (Jan 28), Paul and Graham talking about Epic reminded me of the old days of DOS shareware games. Back when Apogee and Epic roamed the wild, untamed BBSes of yore and we passed around games on stacks of 3-1/2" floppies. And how Epic had a decent amount of crazy back in the &...

Re: Runners, Sliders, Designers
Has... has there always been the huge stereo separation and I just never noticed it, or are you trying something new with the audio this week?
Oh, wait, no, it wasn't there last week. Whew. It does add a little something, though.

Re: LRR Video Early Access - The Warriors Return
I just wanted to note that in the email we backers got about this, while the URL shown on the link goes to the right video, the actual link still goes to The Bitcoin Conspiracy. Same with the link to the forum post, in that it goes to TBC's discussion thread.
