@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

ran into pretty much everyone 'cept mish.  great first night ( a little tiring.. ) complete with a 5 foot long pizza!

Going to be a great weekend!
Jossshhhhh...Legendary TurboTrollX-16: He revenge-bans PCE Developers/Ys IV Localizers from PCE Facebook groups and destroyed 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!! Josh and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together! Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner (extortion/blackmail!), never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

I was looking around yesterday with the wife for signs of anyone Turbob related, but didn't see anyone. There is always today though. Anyone here up this damn early besides me? :lol:

SPECIAL REQUEST: If you folks have a chance to pick up any rare PC-Engine titles, please keep me in mind. Thanks :pcgs:.

We were setting up mainly in the museum room til around 1am.  We helped run the 'up to par' tournament, which was actually a lot more fun than I anticipated.

I'll be floundering about in a Tandy shirt throughout the weekend.... well, actually, I might change my shirt on Sunday!  ;)

Nice!  I need to get a Super Grafx so I can finally play 1941!

I hope that in line with NEC tradition, all of your Turbo guys at least ran the TRAIN on "Pinball babe."

Nec, Madgear made me a deal for Counter Attack and D&D. Can't wait to get home and tear into this stuff!

jeffhlewis

Hey guys - it's Jeff from the Die Hard Gamer Room. Just wanted to say it was awesome to meet everyone in person and I hope to be around the forums more here as I start up collecting PCE again!

I've got some photos from over the weekend, once I have a chance to sort through everything I'll post 'em up. I had enough energy to unload the car last night and pass the F out.

BlueBMW

Im on the way home.  Dead tired hehe

good god, the drive home was an ordeal for me, ended up being ~14 hours.
all said and done though, loads of fun!
hope to see y'all next year.

Mishran

Left the hotel this morning, so we won't be making it home until this evening. I'll post a pic or two of my goodies. Just a few PCE games and MVS carts. Nothing great, but I'm happy with it.

PunkCryborg

I just got home. Had a great time guys! I'll post my hauls in a bit :)

Mathius

Made it home! Sad to leave (I held it together than I did last year lol) but have some great memories. :D

wow guys looks like good a time... <<jealous face>>............ and so does the pinball babe :)

They were both up and running and seemed to be a hit. I saw a lot of people playing both. One of JoshTurboTrollX-16's kids didn't like Jungle Brothers and I hope he was punished appropriately.

I actually just posted about this on the MSR thread.  We had a few complications, but suffice to say it ended up in the DHG Room for a good chunk of Saturday rather than outside in the hall.

Gallery is slow, and I never got ppl shots :(

Fun times! Saw some old heads, met new cats...I need to remember that you cannot buy beer AFTER 9pm in Wisconsin.

Greets to everyone, let's do it again soon. Come down south where the weather is warm :P

Great pics man!

Bars and resturants, yes...not at grocery store and quickie-marts after 9.

Arkhan Asylum

This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

Mati:

I unloaded the videos off of my 4S last night and checked them out - I took a video walkthrough each day of all the games up and running right after we set them all up and before the crowds showed up. I'll post them on youtube soon; they came out really well.

I was going to dub music over them but I don't want to disturb the sound of all the machines running at once. It sounds so awesome.

I brought my Nikon DSLR with me over the weekend but just never got a chance to really get out there and do photography. Definitely will be taking more photos next year.

Agreed. The natural sounds of the room are more awesome than any dubbed music. :)
