West Coast Train Trip: 4th Annual! - T-Shirts have arrived!

eelektrik · September 2010

I envy all you motherfuckers. I couldn't afford to go this year, the train rocked so hard back in 2007, and my return trip only in 2009(even with the swine flu). I miss it. Keep the train rockin' fellas and enjoy the expo.

Enoch Root · September 2010

First post of the second day. BITCHES.

I'm so glad that the Oregon guy is telling us about the trees that we are passing.

so glad

TimeCruiserMike · September 2010

we're mostly just ignoring and/or making fun of him.

MarySue · September 2010

...dude's telling you all about wood?

Oh, btw, Achievement Unlocked: Voodoo Doughnuts. Now, for my next goal--- fending off the ravenous hordes of coworkers.

Train is the best way to go anywhere. Except through Oregon. That mostly sucks.

Have you ever driven through Oregon? Cause fuck that I'll take the train.

TimeCruiserMike · September 2010

so i think we've established that oregon just sucks in general

MarySue · September 2010

Yes, Californians. Please persist in your belief that Oregon sucks. Do not move here. Do not drink our microbrewed beer and buy our extremely reasonably priced housing. And most importantly, do not eat our doughnuts. Especially not the blueberry one, nor the one with Capitan Crunch on it.

TimeCruiserMike · September 2010

portland oregon might not suck . .. as for the rest of oregon . . . . you guys can't even pump your own gas. WTF!!!!!

grim123 · September 2010

so what time is every one going to the train station?

TimeCruiserMike · September 2010

I'm going to try to be there by 9

nemaihne · September 2010

I love the fact that the WCTT forum is never active when people are actually on it.
Anyway, I'm home. Thanks, TCM, for all your hard work this year. You had a ton on your shoulders and I hope you get some decompression time after.

Yeah, TCM's da sheet. YAHHHHHHHH!

I made it home with all electronics accounted for, this year.

Belgand · September 2010

'Twas indeed a great trip even if the trip back was a good deal more quiet.

Now I just need to go buy Neuroshima Hex and Aye Dark Overlord.

cheez · September 2010

SpaceGhost, thanks again for being awesome and hauling all your Rock Band shit along.

SpaceGhost2K · September 2010

My pleasure. And pain.

MarySue · September 2010

Soooo, does anyone have copies of the group picture at King Street Station they're going to post?

Just wondering. My mother still kind of thinks I ran away somewhere to indulge in a Satanic orgy or something, despite my nonstop talk about Swarm and Zombie Dice. She's a firm believer in pics or it didn't happen.

(And I do live 600 miles away from my mother, never underestimate the blast radius of a guilt trip)

TimeCruiserMike · September 2010

don't know if you can view it or not but here is one http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/photo.php?pid=41251657&fbid=738751703568&op=2&o=global&view=global&subj=1109875916&id=6711818

MarySue · September 2010

Can't see it.

emperorsargosa · September 2010

Just wanted to thank everyone for making my PAX cherry popping fun as hell. Unfortunately, I'm terrible w exchanging contact info and there were at least three of you that live within a mile of me. So if any of you Mtn View peeps want an extra for your D&D nights or to chill PM me (I realize no one knows my forum-to-reallife mapping, but worth a try).

See you all next year

That may have been the best game I played at/around PAX. Not many can keep me up til 3 AM these days.

If nobody's posted it by the time I get home, I will.

Can't load facebook at work anymore (though this forum works fine for some reason.

)

Playing Aye, Dark Overlord on Sunday night was indeed awesome. I would buy it, but I feel like those two games were the peak and any further will just disappoint

If you link the image itself, we can see it. If you link the page, we can't see it.

SlickShughes · September 2010

I found my way to them by backing out from that page to TCM's profile, then navigating back into his photos. YMMV.

TimeCruiserMike · September 2010

Spoiler:

there we are . . . i hope.

grim123 · September 2010

haha you can barely see me all the way in the back

Arikado · September 2010

What a bunch of nerds.

Raiden333 · September 2010

Thanks for posting it, I totally forgot about it. :oops:

emperorsargosa · September 2010

So many... I dont think I saw half the folks in that pic.

UCLA_Jukebox · September 2010

Is there a higher res version of that pic?

*edit - for pics of the train, and of pax...

emperorsargosa · September 2010

Mind if I grab a few pics of myself from the train pics? My total count in pictures is up to three. Some are beginning to doubt I even went.

Enoch Root · September 2010

Hey Guys! I have a bunch of hi res photos and video that I am going to spend the night editing and uploading so expect a link late tonight or tomorrow morning.

Yamara · September 2010

Here's an open album of my PAX photos, starting generally with Train Trip photos. I can provide high-res photos if there's one someone wants.

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=206600&id=659889164&l=dbb8785954

I didn't make it on the return trip, sadly. Maybe next year. Thanks to everyone for bringing food, games, and awesomeness to the train.

Mallin · September 2010

Here are my pics, including some taken by my friend Ben, and a few picked from your pics, like the group shot and a pic of me.

Just thinking about the last couple games makes my sides hurt. Getting nicknamed crotch rot, oh man. :lol:

Some one actually played Diplomacy on this trip? And you all made it to Seattle alive and not bleeding?
