Hey Guys I had so much fun at the meetup at White Castles place I hope all of you can come out to Too Many Games and hang out and play games etc. We are doing some really awesome stuff as we always do and this is our 10th show! Below is the forum post ive been posting around to let people know info on the show. Read that or check the website. Hope to see all you guys there!


Greetings programs!

Do you love games? And I'm not just talking about the games themselves,
but the whole culture of gaming? Then you need to be at TooManyGames!

TooManyGames is the east coast's longest running gaming event, this fall
we're holding our 10th event! TooManyGames is all about the games
themselves, sure, that's why we have the nation's largest gaming
marketplace where gamers and collectors can buy games, both new and old
- but there's so much more about gaming than just the games themselves.
TooManyGames incorporates everything that gaming is about - the games,
the music, the art, the community, the development, the competition, the
history, the people behind the scenes, the fun.

This fall, on September 19th, TooManyGames will return with its latest
event, bringing it to a whole new venue - The Crowne Plaza Hotel in the
busy commercial district of Wyomissing, PA. TooManyGames has rented out
the entire convention floor of the hotel to fill every corner with
gaming amazement! Here are some of the features of this fall's event:

The Marketplace
- TMG's marketplace is THE place to fill holes in your gaming
collections, or pick up some of your favorite nostalgic gaming goodies.
Dozens of vendors have all sorts of games, artwork, collectibles, and
more ready for you to take home!

The Game Room
- TMG's game room (sponsored by The GXL) features dozens of TVs and
consoles from yesterday and today available for you to play all day long.

Tournaments
- TMG is long known for our amazing tournaments. This year will be no
exception as we bring new FPS games to our tournament line-up to join
classic and modern favorites like Bomberman, Warlords, Super Smash Bros.
Brawl, Super Street Fighter IV, and more!

Concerts
- TooManyGames' Video Games ROCK! concert provides hours of live
musical performances by the monsters of gaming music. Past performers
include This Place is Haunted, Temp Sound Solutions, Ultraball, MC Lars,
Gonna Get Got, Entertainment System, Animal Style, Chipocryte, X
Hunters, and tons more!

Tabletop Gaming
- Once again we're bringing back tabletop gaming for the RPG fans!
We'll have space dedicated for RPG campaigns, LARPing, Magic: The
Gathering, Munchkin, and more! Make sure to bring your best decks for
our Magic: The Gathering tournaments!

Panels
- TooManyGames' panels have been extremely varied in style and
substance! Past discussion panels include the PA Jedi's talking about
their group, Racketboy doing a live gaming podcast with special guests,
and TooManyGames' organizers discussing what it takes to put together a
game convention!

Rarities
- TMG is often times the place to find extremely rare and
one-of-a-kind items. This fall we've teamed up with Rick Bruns (snesmaster) of
NESMaps.com. Rick is the owner of the only Super Nintendo Powerfest '94
cart in existence, and he also owns one of the two known 1992 Nintendo
Challenge carts. Both of these carts will be available, not just on
display, but for you to play in tournaments at TooManyGames!

Preregistration for this fall's event is now open! Regular
preregistration is only $10 and gets you in an hour before general
admission, three Chinese auction tickets, and a ticket for the
preregistration exclusive raffle! VIP preregistration is only $20, gets
you in an hour earlier than general admission, five Chinese auction
tickets, a ticket for the preregistration exclusive raffle, and a
TooManyGames X limited edition t-shirt! VIP registrations are limited
to only 50 people, so make sure you register today!

Tables in TooManyGames' marketplace are a great place to sell excess
games in your collection, sell some art, tabletop gaming cards and
figures, or anything else! Marketplace tables are only $70 and include
two admission passes. For more info on setting up as a vendor at
TooManyGames, visit our website at www.toomanygames.com

TooManyGames strives to be the nation's greatest indie gaming event. We
can't make it happen without support of the gamers themselves! Please
let all your friends know about TooManyGames! We hope to see you all
this fall at TooManyGames!

I was at the last TMG in April, before I started actually posting here. Had a great time playing and buying games. Especially enjoyed playing The Last Blade with a few people and getting to use my Moriya on someone other than the CPU :vik:

Really looking forward to the next one in a month.

Looks like I should be attending. I'll likely be helping my friend Iric move in a few cabs for the show, as well as his sale PCBs, then it'll be off to make the usual rounds. Hope to see some familiar faces.

If it was the weekend before or the weekend after I could go, but unfortunately I won't be able to attend. I don't think Jon will be able to go, so no JSJ this time :(

Hopefully WhiteCastle will have another get together in the fall or winter, I've been meaning to send him a PM to see how he's doing.

Actually, I will be coming now as Chuck has decided to give me free booth space.

What I need to do now is find more staff to watch everything. Otherwise, it'll just be myself stuck there in one spot all day.

Glad to see you'll be attending. I'd love to stop by your booth for the chance to have your Iori beat the piss out of me again.

I will try to make it to tmg. I have a wedding to go to the night before, so it depends on how many drinks I have.

Give me a call sometime after 7 tonight.

I already confirmed with Carlson that he's not coming. Pasaitoh (Alex) will be running his booth. Not sure what he'll have, just cross your fingers.

I can confirm this.

Carlson texted me last night saying he's a no-go.

Shame.

Must have been a different carlson.

Anyway, Alex (Pasaitoh) will be running 3 tables for me and I will have some good stuff there.

I will be in atlanta for AWA.

I am also giving away a Super Famicom system and game as a door prize for all of the attendees who pre-reg--so pre reg if you have not already!

With just a week to go, I was wondering. Are you guys planning on meeting up at a certain time and/or place there? Considering I'm fairly new on here, I don't really know who anyone is.

We all tend to crowd around Jon's table and talk about what all we picked up. We did a group photo last year. I am totally down for another.

Yeah, I'm glad you guys decided to accommodate me for free. Big help, I definitely appreciate it.

As for Carlson, please don't be mad at him. The weekend happened to fall on a larger anime convention. Ebay and conventions are how he supports his family so, just wish him luck in Georgia.

Yeah, just come over to JSJ Games. I'm the guy with the sideburns. There will be some Neo Geo gaming going on for sure.

Speaking of, just packed up my car a few minutes ago. Here's what I'm bringing system-wise.

Neo Geo MVS (running on a D-Lite supergun)
Raijin Sigma supergun running various JAMMA PCBs
SNES
Sega CDX
PS One LCD (which will be running Vib Ribbon all day)
PC Engine Supergrafx (unfortunately, my SCD unit bit the dust so, no CD games:crying:)
