Yeah, MLG has a stop in Canada this year. I'm excited about that one... but maybe not as excited as I am about San Diego - Mmmm, beach. Great list, Valkyrie!

I'm really tempted to use my IRS stimulus check to get that PS3/MGS4 combo, but I know I need to pay off my credit card. After I do that I will be completely 100% debt free. BUT DAMMIT I WANT A PS3 AND MGS4.


Oh, and you forgot an event in July that supercedes any event you can possibly think of.


THE SAN DIEGO COMIC CON. JULY 24-27TH AT THE SAN DIEGO CONVENTION CENTER. THE GREATEST CONVENTION EVER.

I've booked that Saturday off to be there. Can't afford any other vacation time though since PAX is the next weekend so it may only be a day thing for me.

I bought my pass for it a couple months ago and have a hotel room reserved at the Marriott that's connected to the San Diego Convention Center.

I've tried to get a room at that god damn hotel for years now.

Hmmm, I wonder why they are still holding the Games Convention Asia in Singapore. The turnout last year was not exactly mind blowing, both civilian and people who are linked to the games industry.

Someday there might be an event in my bit of the country...

Anyway, there's the awesome Video Games Live. There's also Women in Games... don't know what made me think of that

He's also doing a signing at Oxford Street's HMV store on June 2, 12pm, with Yoji Shinkawa. Only it's not the game but "pre-release HMV exclusive sleeves"... WHOOO!!!

Great list Val. <3

Looks like you covered all the main events.

LUCKY! Frag DOlls always end up getting hotel room far away from the events, mostly because we never know if we are attending until the last minute. Except for Pax!

MLG Dallas FTW! Probably not even competing in anything. Just going for the fun of it.

I'm taking time off from work to go down to NY for this! Nothing like camping on the sidewalk to make you feel like a total GEEK!

Here is another one I found; good for LARPers or whatever they're called. Can't find any mention of those computer games in the ad shown though...

There's a number of UK events on (that I found listed on Joystiq), aside from Women in Games

- Develop Conference, Brighton, 11th-13th July
- Games EDU Conference, Brighton, 29th July
- EIEF (there's a website under construction apparently), 21st-22nd August
- Games Market Europe, London, 6th-7th September
- GDC, London, 3rd-4th October

Hopefully none of these are too "tiny"

London, 6th-7th September

Thanks Ninja, I will look them up! =P

Hmm...

Fair enough. The dates might be skewed though... stupid lack of checking (by Joystiq, not me; I'm lazy)!

EIEF is from Sunday 10th to Tuesday 12th August, according to Brian Baglow aka the horse's mouth.
