Well, after a couple years of traveling the country and going to conventions, I've decided to throw my hat in the ring (along with a handful of other DFW collectors/gamers/enthusiasts) and will be hosting a convention at the end of the summer.

I'm proud to announce the Let's Play Gaming Expo!
 
http://letsplaygamingexpo.com...

The focus here is on the gaming. I was a gamer, then I became a collector, and I find myself going back to the gaming again.

As of now, we have around 70 arcades confirmed, and a national Smash Tournament that will be streamed live. I'm in talks with Tusk about a Tetris tie-in, and I'm also talking with the Tecmo guys about setting up a tournament. I've been told we have a healthy Tecmo community here, so I'm pretty pumped about that.

There will also be free play consoles and I'm hoping to have a hall of crazy/odd games like MACS, Typing of the Dead, probably a Power Pad or two. Table space for the card gamers. And not to mention vendor tables!

I'll keep people posted here, probably daily like an asshole to help get the word out on this thing, but I'd like to get some all of NA to come out! I talked with Dain, and NA will have a booth there. I will be selling all my doubles... that's right, everything I have that is a double will be sold. There's a couple other guys I've already talked with about setting up shop, and I'll reveal them as they come along. Right now, I know DivingNinja and myself will be the NA team, for sure!

Well, I started the grill and it's time to eat dinner, so I'll leave this here to get the ball rolling. Prices to follow, as picking out someone to take everybody's money is a sonofabitch. We're in the process of haggling, but I have a feeling Paypal is going to win out.

Let's Play, mang!

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

It's official like a referee with a whistle! Announced on The Facebook, we're the first ever qualifier for a spot in the Classic Tetris World Championship at PRGE. 
 
 
Here's the down and dirty. Score high enough at Let's Play Gaming Expo's Tetris tournament, and we'll fly you to Portland where our good friend Uncle Tusker will let you play against the best! And possibly Dain!

Let the hype begin!

This sounds like a good time. Can't wait for the official announcement. I figured it was only a matter of time until I ran into you at one of these local events. I apparently just missed you at Retropalooza.

Got a super sweet panel to announce. I'm really excited about this one. Haven't quit seen anything like it at the other conventions/expos/festivals I've been to.
 
 
Lost Save: The History of Game Preservation
A reflection on lost videogame history and what is being done to preserve content.
Presented by Ryan Cassidy & Matt McEniry
 
How many video games have you played in your life? For many gamers, the number is in the hundreds, yet the first few games played always make a special impact. Where are those games today and how easy would it be to play them again? As it turns out, older video games are increasingly being ignored for the latest and greatest edition, and they are in jeopardy of being unplayable permanently.
 
Two Texas Tech librarians, Ryan Cassidy and Matt McEniry, will take on the challenge of explaining the past, present, and future of game preservation in their panel. They’ll be discussing the history of our gaming heritage, how organizations, universities, and collectors are working to preserve it, and improvements to technical advancements in emulation and streaming in an effort to create a living record of the play through for games that have otherwise been or may be lost.

Normally I would not even consider this due to location but, given my current situation, I am seriously considering making the trip.

When's the last time you had to do signature confirmation for Virtual Boy games?

Just before we left for the Midwest Gaming Classic last weekend, we got a mysterious package in the mail. Two Virtual Boy games, no labels. Not sure what we just got into, but I like the air of mystery. Thanks, mystery shipper!

Now, who has a working Virtual Boy?
