ill probably go if someone lends me a PC

Any news on rental PC's?

When is the cutoff for registering? I'd really like to go, but it depends 100% on my school/ midterm schedule, which i won't get for a good while.

No set cutoff, can buy tickets at the door if they don't sell out. Nick said he would let us know well before it sells out if it looks like it might.

You can always buy a ticket and get a refund up until two weeks (I think) before the event.

Sounds good, thanks.

TheFragile just answered this (again) two days ago:

"PCs for players who are unable to bring their own is something we are still waiting for a response on. This question is asked quite frequently. Please be patient and I should have answers hopefully soon."

lol, I had someone ask me this last night.

Please, everyone, I urge you to take 5 minutes of reading through this thread on a potential question you have. I am asked the same questions almost every day, and a lot of the same questions get asked on each page.

I don't have any fancy insider information about the rental PC situation. I'm not keeping anything from anyone. I am entirely waiting on the word from CEVO / the place they are renting PCs from. I'm hoping I'll have an answer soon, but I have no idea when that will be. The moment I get an idea of what the situation will be like, I will make certain that everyone here will know immediately. What I can tell you is that everyone will have ample time to react to the answer, regardless of what the outcome is.

Speaking of rental PCs, I also want to make it very clear that if you can bring your PC, please do. I would imagine that there would be a very limited supply of rental PCs available if everything works out. For the sake of the tournament not going through long delays, please bring your PC if you can.

We should rent out an open bar Friday or Saturday night. JUST AN IDEA.

GXL AFTERPARTY

We can record the whole thing and stream it to twitch.

It'll be like that time carnage recorded himself driving in his green hat and nobody cared, but with alcohol.

no but really though, open bar.

open bar with kids who don't know their limits... you can handle the after effects

everyone should be over 21.

also im assuming this community can handle an outing.

thats a bold assumption though

It's Philly. They have a pretty extensive beer and bar scene. Who cares about the kiddos.

i'm 25 and i cant handle an outing soooooooooooooo

I'm planning on going but I don't have the money to get my ticket at the moment, I'll probably end up buying one for a higher price closer to the event. Is there anyone in NY(not the city) that'll be driving there? I'm trying to figure out my options for transportation. Thanks.

Where bouts in NY?

is anyone's route coming through saratoga springs?

flame obviously didn't attend FITES LAN.

It's all fun and games until someone is found naked out in the open covered in their own puke, ain't gonna be my problem

This is why I am sleeping at my place and commuting each day.

this is why we're bringing video cameras

flame's priorities > thrasher's priorities

I'm joining :D would need a team though, preferably as medic, but still can play other classes, solly>demo>scout. *I paid*

I've got a few questions that I was hoping someone here could answer. Hopfully there is someone local going to the lan who could help.

How much is beer in the Philadelphia area? Both in a supermarket/off licence and in a bar/club in the town? What is the best place to go on a night out? No where too fancy as we have Bones with us and he dosnt wash.

For all your beer needs go to;

http://philly.thedrinknation.com/

It is what I use every time I go out there.

Note for out-of-state/country visitors: PA liquor laws are awful and don't allow for alcohol to be sold in grocery stores or gas stations, so you'll have to look for a beer distributor/bottle shop if you want beer. Wine and liquor are sold in special state-run stores.

As for prices, I can't really speak for around Oaks, but I would imagine it's relatively cheap. In center city a 6 pack is maybe $9-15+ and at a bar a pint can be $3-8+

Keep in mind that GXL is about ~45 min drive (no traffic) to Philadelphia, it's almost like saying the iNSOMNIA series LAN is in London. Unless you have a designated driver, going out at night in Philadelphia proper will not be convenient.
