ZapCon 2016 Roll Call

[DeLuSioNal29]

I also love the fact that autocorrect on my phone recognizes the word Jorts.

  All fun and games until I rip a hole in H/mans couch with those spikes.

Am I the only one getting a mental picture of that?  Jennifer would have to be facing down in order to rip that hole in that couch.  Which means...  Ouchie.  Be gentle...  (I kid, I kid).  I'm just psyched about Zapcon.  Very soon!

Looks like Malenko's plane is gonna land 25 minutes early.  There's a shocker.  Must have a good tail wind.   

[yotsuya]

I got Ond and his daughter safely to the hotel. They're both really cool!

[yotsuya]

By the way, there was no business trip associated with this. He flew all the way from Melbourne just to come to the show.

That's my lonely Super Pac-Man cocktail on the left side of the picture.

Around 3pm tomorrow.

[yotsuya]

Cool. If anybody is in town early and wants to hang out tonight, let me know.

Who here can name those cabs from the back?

Cool. If anybody is in town early and wants to hang out tonight, let me know.

We are here and about an hour into our Grand Canyon excursion. Would have been cool to grab the casa Yots sticker tonight, but I figure we won't be back till 8 or 9pm.

Got an hour of Gyruss practice on plane, and even with ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow--- ipad touch controls, I was still playin like a boss...

What is this wizardry? How in the world do you control Gyruss on an iPad? LOL.

[Ond]

Wassup dudes!!!! Heh, Suzi and I are chilling in the Hotel (I can see the convention center from our window).  Huge thanks to Yots for picking us up,  mate.  I'm overtired and talking jibberish, the lovely concierge lady with heavy Russian accent really threw me, where am I again??.  Anyway heading for a beer and bite before snooze and dinner.

[yotsuya]

Glad they let you check in early, brother! Looking forward to dinner with you and your daughter tonight. Still trying to talk HaRuMaN into it, but he's busy getting ready for the show.

[Slippyblade]

I hope that Xybots survives this year.  Last year the rotation on the stick quit working - but I LOVE that game.

[DeLuSioNal29]

1 more hour of work and boom... I'm not back until Tuesday.

Getting my games packed up for the show. I can't wait to share this creation with the world.

[vwalbridge]

You had me at volcano buttons, Yots!

[Slippyblade]

You had me at volcano buttons, Yots!

No kidding. LOVE volcano buttons.

Introducing ZapCon: the Game. 4 levels of classic gameplay with a modern twist. Full of shout-outs and inside BYOAC jokes.

The objective to the game is to get your games into ZapCon before the show starts.

I think that is just the tip of the iceburg with this creation.

Which reminds me, if you're at ZapCon and you can beat the game, post a picture of your high score page in the official thread to earn the Vulcan Bros badge.

[Slippyblade]

Can't wait to play it.  Did you do the programming or just the build?

[harveybirdman]

I actually painfully chortled during play testing...

[Slippyblade]

Please tell me X2 is a boss fight.  He's gotta attack you by tossing walls of text...  or at least a 3" ninja punch.

[yotsuya]

Can't wait to play it.  Did you do the programming or just the build?

Both. Extensively playtested by a few members on here as well.

[yotsuya]

Steve is not a boss, but I can't confirm that he may or may not be a playable secret character. NDA and all.

[Malenko]

I'm in Lee's car, in his lap of course
