Gamescon Cologne (August)

[Figment]

It'll be held from the 15th to 19th of August. (No, 15-8 is not the 8th day of the fifteenth month of the year and the convention does not last four months! It's just logical order of dates). Apparently it's open to the general public from the 16th on.

It'll be held at Messeplatz 1, Cologne (Köln), Germany (http://maps.google.nl/maps?hl=nl&cp=12&gs_id=2&xhr=t&q=messeplatz+1&safe=off&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1280&bih=894&wrapid=tljp133669160382500&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl).

SOE will be in hall 4.1.

Pondering on going, since it'll be about a 3 hour drive instead of a 12 hour flight. Just depends on holidays and all. Anyone else? :)

I'll be far too busy beta testing Planetside 2 for any of that convention-going nonsense :D

Pretty much this.
I do go to Comic-Con, but I don't know if they will be there or not.

I thought this was going to be a joke about 'con patrons not showering/wearing deoderant

For that comment, this is you (http://dagobah.net/flash/get_ready_to_die.swf).

On topic, i guess need to brush up on my German :P

As far as i know, Higby, Tray and others are coming over.

And i do plan on going, just need to get the cash together. Its a trip across the E-W axis of germany for me, by train, so quite some cash for train and hotel and saying alive (dont starve). :D

[sylphaen]

It might be a good opportunity to visit Germany... At least, I won't feel too bad about leaving NYC for Europe before the PC magazine event and PAX east.

Basti, what about a PS vets get together ? You bring German, I'll bring purple.
:D

...There should a threeway battle during the con:

VS get to use laser games (tech), TR nerf guns (low damage) and NC paintball shotguns (hard hitting)!

Devs get to defend themselves with waterpistols.

It would be nice if more people from the team made the trip to Köln, too. To which SOE budget manager do we have to send the German beer ?
:cool:

Ah finally an open conference that's just around the corner from here! I'll be there for sure, will be nice to meet the guys in person.
