Internet was working long enough for me to book a room before it went down again. In on Thurs 14th, out on Mon 18th. Glad I was able to get a good deal on the flight, since it'll help offset the extra cost of the room this year. Probably work out about the same in the end, which is fine.

Good news,the Holiday Inn will be available again in 2017...

Hotdog's McGees

That would be when when there are multiples of the short people that reside in my house present. Although, at AF you are all jerks for being tall, so it may still be accurate with only the kid and I.

Looks like there are 0 partial stations and 0 empty stations available...which is annoying unless I do the 5 day pass.....guess I know what option I am doing now.

Ah ok...that is what I thought but the website was still confusing.

I just booked a room at the Quality Inn in Terre Haute. Looks like Terre Haute has something going on that week, and no one seems to want to do group rates.

They have 2 Doubles or 1 King for $92/night. Dacoto and CK are also staying there, so there will be vehicles available for group use. I would say take a look and see what works best for you. There are cheaper rates, I just don't want to stay at a Travelodge or Days Inn, but some of those are still $50-$60 a night.

Reserved mine....PARTY at the Quality Inn!

Well, I was planning on a trip to Japan next year, but thanks to some unexpected bills there is no way I'll have enough cash saved up for March. With that said, as soon as I get the okay from work on the days off I'll book a trip.

I may join the no gamerscore at AF crew this year. Probably not, but maybe.

Just spoke with BoZack earlier today. He has tasked Dustin with getting the site updated today with the new layout. Expect some serious design layouts. Chances are extremely HIGH that you will be in a new seat this year than any previous year.

Achievement Fest is updated and ready:

We changed up the layout, and there is no longer a need/option for the "Extra Space" as each station is larger (6 per room instead of 8).

Achievement Fest Junior is available this year. Some of the regulars have children about the same age, so, for $20, you can lock your child in a room with ours for a weekend of gaming on the eBash equipment. (PCs, Playsations, Xboxen, and Wiis)

Feel free to ask any questions here, or direct message them to me. I will answer them as quickly as I can.

The entire central "structure" of the store, where the counter, storage, Black, and Brown rooms are, is being removed. Opening up the entire store significantly. They have added tabletop gaming, as it is growing faster than console and PC gaming currently, giving them an added attraction. (And Terre Haute had very little competition there, LibrarianBeth and I found a single tabletop store, play space, and pizza shop, and it wasn't very good, and I think it went out of business.) They plan on adding some lounging area and tables for the tabletop gaming.

I don't know what is going on with Zack's office, but I know that eventually the purple room is either going away or changing.

I'm probably just going to bring my hd this year since I am flying. I know the site says 360, but do you know if he will have X1's avail for use?
