If anyone is interested in taking part in a gaming get together, Achievement Fest 2014 has opened seat reservations.

You can check it out here.

It's usually a good time had by all, and many people do the 5-day pass.

I wish I could go at least once, but with wife and three kids (not to mention work) I'm just not in a position where i can tell the wife I'm going to Indiana to play games for three days. Oh to be younger again.

Who needs to be younger? You are actually in the median age. Most of us are married, with kids, and are 35-50 years old.

My wife comes along, and is already registered (LibrarianBeth).

So, bring the wife and kids, if they don't want to game, let them go to Indianapolis for the weekend, see some sites, do a museum, take a tour, whatever...

I hope you meant enticing. Inciting would be very different...

And you should go. Meet other gamers. Play on the EU and Japanese consoles. Take part in the Guinness World Record Attempt(s). Boost out difficult achievements.

Almost everyone there will have a 360 AND a WindowsPhone AND a Windows8 tablet/PC with them. Usually a few Android and iOS devices for anyone that needs those versions of Wordament. But, we were all turbo boosting the Red Dead Redemption Poker and Liar's Dice achievements, while also grouping up for WP MP achievements.

Very easy to coordinate when the other people are standing right next to you.

I am chatting with BoZack, too. Hopefully we will have information on discounted hotel rates and a block of rooms reserved for AF2014 attendees.

I'm with Porche and Kaens. Maybe when I ship them all off to College and we're on the Xbox... Two? Xbox Oculus? Xbox Holo? 2024 should be pretty interesting.

Hotdogmcgee, dacoto, CKinAL, Buckswana, LibrarianBeth, and I add the two remaining seats in our room, which lets us put 3 people on each side, and that is well worth the slight extra cost.

My suggestion would be seats 56-63, the Red Room.
