Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
The British are coming....again

If any of you are worried about requiring a visa to gain entry to the US they do operate a Visa Waiver system for people from 'Jolly Old England' as they describe the whole of the UK. The link below will take you to a guide on what's required to gain access to the us without a formal visa:

Secondly hes booking all flights etc and from what i can tell a company called 'eastern airlines',( or something similar, ill update when i know the exact site), is the cheapest. Around £500 return but its similar in a lot of places.
Also, im planning to get a couple of TShirts with my gamertag on 'Crimson' or 'ColdBlooded: Crimson' im gonna be goin for
Main options seem to be:
1. Fly direct
2. Fly to LA (or nearby) and grab the WCTT.
3. Fly to NYC or Chicago (or similar), hire a car and join the CCST.
1 is obviously your easiest option, but you'll not have a handy pack of nerd friends premade on PAX arrival. 3 would be fun but possibly a bit pricy, and I don't fancy driving for 36 hours straight. 2 is the option I'm probably going to take, plus a few other stop-offs to make a fortnight of it. Delta already owe me $300 of internal flights I need to use up by September. Any of this syncs up with you guys, I'd be glad to share a flight with fellow crumpeteers.

BTW, kropotkin, are you the same guy from the OLL irc chat?
I am the same LewieP. Although you seem to just lurk here.
I also live about 4 miles from downtown Seattle, so my journey to PAX will be sufficiently less tiresome than the rest of my countrymen.
Of course, this means that you have a local source of knowledge that appreciates the finer points of travelling as an Englishman. You know, the best gutters to puke in, which bars you'll find American chicks that go weak at the knees at your accent (hint - most of them), the few shops that sell proper tea, that kind of thing.
Ha!
Earl Grey / Lady Grey is the way to go (as she sits, sipping a freshly brewed Lady Grey - heaven in a cup)

You are indeed correct in saying I am Kropotkin from OLL chat. As for lurking here in PA Forums yes I do tend to as my main haunt is Allgames.com.
As for food supplies which I've been thinking about would any folks advice to take any of the following:
1) PG Tips/Tetly tea bags as tea in the US tastes like gnat's pee.
2) A small box of Quality Street
3) Marmite/Bovril which ever suits your pallette.
4) Walkers Crisps
5) A packet of McVities Hob Nobs
Any other foodstuff advice would be appreciated
If you've got a sweet tooth and can't go the week without some chocolate, please bring cadbury or better over. The majority of chocolate bars here taste like wax compared to your stuff.
If you're aussie, bring musk sticks to share.

Holy almost dead thread batman! How or why did this come back into the fray? Well time is moving on and we citizens of the British Emprie (that consists of Great Britain and a small island off of the coast of Argentina) still need to make our plans for meeting up prior to heading to PAX 08.
Romulus stated he wished to meet up prior to him leaving for the US on 12 March but that date has long since passed so it looks like we'll have to organise something without him seeing as he is now in the colonies.
I recommend we try the bank-holiday weekend which is on 23-24 August. This however may be difficult for those going to Reading/Leeds festival so we could move it to the weekend before.
Possible venues are as follows:
1) Hyde Park or Regents Park - 12pm onwards -> Could mix it up with some games of Ultimate Frisbee or something.
2) Pub somewhere in the London West End, Pitcher & Piano in Charing Cross is reasonably large and easy to get to.
3) Omega Sector in Birmingham - LAN and console game set up located in the centre of the England.
My vote goes to no. 1 as it will probably be quite hot and getting some Vitimin D will do us all some good.
Thoughts and opinions then please raise them in this thread. The sooner we agree on where and when the easier this meet up will be. I'm also going to put some pics up of the meet up prior to leaving for PAX just to let all other Brits attending the show who to look out for when we are all there.

totally missing england but i hope you guys work this thing on out
So, I've now checked out the omega sektor, it looks fun, and noobs get free lessons! And if you become a member (for free) you get 1 hours gaming free (normally £3) on your first visit. Its a short walk from Birmingham New Street station, so would be very easy to get to. It also has bars and cafes, but i can't find out prices.
Let me know what you think, post in this thread please.

This may even warrant a new thread in of itself. In the mean time check out the funky logo I made for it:
