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!

When I called (right before i typed this), they said they were still entering reservations, but they checked on mine and it was there, so ... yes and no

I'm thinking of going over to the other hotels and checking out the "pre-PAX scene" there.
That sounds like a super fun idea, but I'm going to put this out there: Don't post your room information on the internet, and discourage others from doing the same.
I know it seems like common sense, but there was an incident a few years ago with a hotel room party getting a bit out of control (Sealab. Never Forget).
this this and more this. I have no room in my suitcase for a console, given all the cookie bridage stuff, my cosplay, and boardgames - but if anyone has smash set up in their room when i walk by, i will definitely stop in for a few rounds. it's my favorite game of ALL TIME. yes, i said it.

For sure! I will not be posting my private info or anything of the sort, and thanks for the pro tip!
To everyone who said they are interested-its a go! My n64 will most def be there, and I would love to have people stop in and play! If you own ANY n64 games, please bring them (and PM me so I know what ya got!) I've got Mario Party ready to go as well (always good for starting/ruining friendships haha) and I was thinking about bringing OoT if anyone wants to try and see how far we can get in one sitting! I will peruse through my collection and see what else I can bring...we are driving up, so there might be room in the car for multiple consoles
I will be hanging up a sign outside my door to let ppl know where the gaming will be. Look for MissMoogle!

Hey what Hotel are you at? Def want to do this for the Seaport Hotel
Pokecrawl: Yellow-silver Professor <3 Hollah!
The Silver Line if possible. It's a very short walk from the stop near the Seaport/BCEC to the Westin.

My flight gets in at about 2pm. My destination is the Westin. I don't really think public transit is going to be realistic with all the shit I am bringing with me.
Is anyone interested in splitting a cab? Shoot me a PM.
Edit: My flight gets in at about 2pm on THURSDAY.
Don't underestimate the Silver Line, it's super easy and it has a luggage rack and everything! It runs Boston Logan to South Station, so people with a lot of baggage are common sights.
I took the Silver Line from South Station last year and it was excellent, dropped me off like 2 feet in front of my hotel and I was off.
I may be new school and bring my 360.
Also, just called Seaport and they have my reservation albeit, they entered it wrong

Namely the Mario Kart and Mario Party ones.
They are going to try and accommodate my request >.>

Call OnPeak and tell them that the reservation with the Seaport does not match what you reserved with them. Make sure you don't take no for an answer (although being a silly goose likely isn't necessary). They should take care of things for you.

Thanks for the tip! I hope to meet you at PAX

also, SO glad i got a room starting thursday night instead of friday like i did last year. plenty of time for pre-pax dinner, westin gaming, then a bright and early start on friday! seriously guys, I CAN'T WAIT!
Got our badges yesterday, though, so that excitement is helping distract me.

You can try the roomshare thread. Otherwise your options are pay for a hotel at full price, try airbnb.com or maybe a hostel.
it usually only costs an extra $20 or so, best just to be up front with the hotel about it.
Yes yes and yes. I LOVE this series so much, I even came up with some rules for a "Left 4 Dead/Drinking".
Just sneak them in after checking into the room. It's not that hard and if anyone asks just say they aren't staying overnight.
As someone else in the thread noted, the maid service is easily able to tell exactly how many people are staying in the room (number of bags, number of toothbrushes, etc.). Different hotels may or may not care. Personally, I'd just call them now and tell them how many people you intend to have in your room upfront, and pay any fee they might charge for additional guests, as it's not worth the risk of them taking action. However, if you're quiet and don't make a mess, most hotels probably won't be hard asses about it.
