Right, so seeing as how last year was super successful and I cannot for the life of me remember who was in charge of this shindig last year I figured I'd fire up a thread to see if this is gonna be happening again. If so, I have a spare Gen 1 controller I'm willing to donate to the cause and am willing to sign up to help run the event this year.

I would imagine they have enough controllers, or if not they would put a call out.
I do hope for another opportunity to teach the pig dogs a lesson.

Watch me struggle to learn streaming! Point and laugh!
it was very useful in the final matches
Im not sure what is going to happen... I'd love steel battallion to be back, but its up to maradine and his crew. I dont know how to contact him but here's hoping.
Its still early so who knows.

Aha, Maradine, that was that guy's name.
That Earthshaker was a beautiful, beautiful, and might I add, fucking hilarious engine of destruction.
"Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" *BZOT*
*frenzied hammering of beleagured old Steel Battallion controllers as all of the enemy team's mechs go dead*
Ahhh, good times.
Well.. it's expected that friday passes will sell out by today, and sunday passes won't be far behind. If you wait, you'll find your mind will be made up for you. :P
So any word boys?
Hope you only plan on going Sunday silly goose.
It's all thats left, enjoy the nice scalpers and their reasonable prices.
lol
<Qs23> I just need to get my dicks in a row
<prox> i work for dicks
#paforums_pax, all about the dicks.
Oh well. There is a LAN center in my community that I may lend it to just so more people can experience the joys of SB. On the plus side I'll actually be able to, yanno, go to the rest of PAX since I won't be distracted with Cutter Booming scores of people to death.
Thanks for your concern, I will be just fine. When you assume you make a donkey out of ewe and me.
Solid! I was looking forward to standing next to you in the field of battle again. Oh well!
I've been getting the Steel Battalion itch this afternoon, but my gaming rig is out of commission, and my TV tuner is broken; which means no SB for me. I'm actually in the process of upgrading my computer.
Actually, an idea came to me recently while I was walking home.
It'd be cool if someone did a Kickstarter campaign to produce a Steel Battalion derivative for the PC platform that uses multiple joysticks for control.
However, I don't know if anyone is going to be able to tackle such a challenge.
I'll figure someway to stack them into a tasteful display (their tin and cardboard for c-sakes)
but it will probably be tacky and ego stroking on my part.
There's always next year.
Besides... this year I can go around and actually see what else is going on and spend some actual
time in the expo instead of breezing through it and running back to SB. Maybe head to the boardgames
and see whats going on, too.

Haha, I had the same damn problem last year. I'd run through the expo hall during breaks but for the most part I spent much of last year's PAX sitting inside of a Jaralacc cockpit. We'll have to get some beers or something this year. Maybe have some sort of Steel Batallion Anonymous get together so we can all cope with our crippling addiction and how we can't get a fix this year.
2011, the year with no Steel Battalion. I hope for some delicious Line of Contact action in 2012.
I think it's time for me to retire as a VT pilot. I have 2 SB controllers and before I send them out to the world wide webs, I thought I would give you guys a first crack at them.
I have one first gen green controller and one second gen blue controller.
Send me a pm for more details!
JohnStamos out.
It is the one thing I truly wish I didnt spout off the top of my head.
It was funny as hell when we field-tested the Earthshaker EMP out and the blues were like, "WTF is potato- WTF am I offline for?!"
While the Earthshaker is a truely awesome machine. I didnt like it so much because it was SO precious. There was only 1 Earthshaker card in a stack of about 1000 mech cards. If we ever have a campaign again, I'll hand it back to Farangu and take my Royal Dress N in heavy support of it.

Ahh, the blues. Their complete lack of communications control got to be an interesting mixture of hilarious/kinda facepalm inducing.
