MMGN Meet Up Event

And I realise we have a thread on Retro ( retro.mmgn.com/... ) but it can't be shared on all channels for some reason.

Heading to the media launch in a minute. @Heller is busy prettying himself up for the red carpet tonight [MOG]

I'm most likely to go after Comic Con this weekend, no deal on Thursday as I don't want to make two trips to the city. It costs enough just getting there once.

@Ben be @Heller 's date for tonight ;)

Edit: On the 10 news weather man Mike was at Game masters, it looked really good and very colourful.

So is this going to be a yearly event, or is it a one off this year?
I've wanted an excuse to go to Mebourne ever since eGames stopped, this would be perfect for me [MOG]

One off. It took over 2 years to plan it and heaps of funding.

If it's anything like Game On then it'll tour around the world if successful. Probably not Australia though.

Just got back from here. It's absolutely awesome. Filmed some stuff for Melb Uni, spoke to Conrad (curator) who is really cool! It's just a great exhibition. I'm going to go when school holidays aren't on though. It was fricken chaotic.

Did you actually get to play anything?

The arcade games are awesome!

Definitely.

You want to be able to actually play some of the retro games.

Totally different playing on an arcade machine.

My mates went to this without me on comic-con weekend. Apparently it made the whole queue filled weekend worthwhile, lol.

If you're into games, and it's not that busy, it really is awesome.

Especially retro games. There are some new games, but it's the arcade machines and some of the earlier stuff that's really cool.

I would suggest going in a couple weeks when school holidays are over. I've got nothing against kids, but the place is swarming with them. If you'd like to actually play the games without having to wait for a long time, it's be smart to go later on.

Yeah I couldn't imagine that being fun at all, I'm planning on going in a few weeks when it's hopefully more quite.

I went through there while I was pretty drunk during the red carpet event. It's definitely worth checking out, great weekend activity for game lovers.

I'm planning on going in a couple of weeks (end of August) hopefully the wait pays off and it's not busy although I hope people haven't broke everything.
