Yep.
From what I've been reading you first line up to pick up tickets, and then line up to get let in. Kinda stupid but yeah. I'm picking mine up today though, Saturday will be too crazy.
Picked up my tickets today, literally no one there. Just two ladies sitting at the booth talking about Puppies and breastfeeding.....it was kinda awkward interrupting them to get my tickets.
If anyone gets to play Halo 4 on Thursday or Friday, could you post impressions here and how the setup was. Thanks.

Alright, after surveying the options around the convention centre I've decided on a choice between a few restaurants.
Grindhouse Burger Bar
Overdraught Irish Pub or Joe Badali's Ristorante Italiano & Bar (At the same location)
In regards to when, Sunday at 4:30pm-5:00pm would probably be best. Please feel free to arrive any time around that window and feel free to text me if you're going to be late or any other reason. (Please PM for my cell number)
If none of you are picky about the restaurant, I'd think the pub would probably be the best bet as it has more of a variety of food and is extremely close, so if no one has any objections I'd think that would be our best bet.

Guys, ZomieU looks amazing. And Ubisoft had both AC3 single player and multi demos. Single player was sea battles in a storm. Pretty fucking aces.

Super jealous. I wanted to have my hands on the Wii U Game Pad early.
Youre not going?

Pretty good. Less crowded than Saturday. Some celebrities are still there, and many of the attractions and exhibits (like Ubisoft, THQ, Marvel) are still up and running. Some dealers mark down there prices (not many, a few). Some of the rare items are gone by then though.
Its a chill day (relatively speaking) compared to the mayhem of Saturday. It does close early though, so its almost like 75% of the day of Saturday.

There was a large Eports section and a lot of other games I didn't even get a chance to look at. I'm there for a lot longer today. Hope to get my hands on some more of these games.
The free gift is a Halo 4 bag, which I grabbed.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Someone please give Mike Choi some Tim Tams.
damn! wwe 13!
i wonder free gift will still be available on saturday or sunday
I just might go
how long is the lineup to buy tickets in person (too late to buy online)?

I found when I was in a crowd, it wasn't working, maybe interference? In the food court/lobby it worked fine
This is the most important question.
I know. I haven't had a chance to play Find Mii 2 yet. I'm still on the final boss on my second play through of the first one.

Pretty good. Had 10 hits first time I checked and then 12 at the end of the day.

Slept in late and missed Marvels discussion regarding AvsX crossover. Today's been a bit of a bust, maybe cuz I'm not in the mood.
So many toys though....

Had no idea they were giving out PS+ codes. Are they stackable on an existing account? I should try for one tomorrow.
Did you go to the Electronic Playground panel by any chance?
I wasn't there, no. I completely forgot.
I'd like to think it's stackable, or at least it doesn't expire anytime soon. Worth waiting in line a few times to get a few codes in hand, I say.
Expanding on my Stan Lee experience: not so good. Seems like a nice guy, but the staff were really pushing us along. There was a guy in front of me, who came a long way to meet him and he nodded his head at him as he signed the guy's comic and he quickly signed my photo and the staff member snatched it and just handed it to me and sent me away. I had to shout a "thanks!" to him, but I don't think he noticed.
Some of these Fan Expo volunteers/staff are quite pushy, and I get that they're doing their job, but they pretty much just killed my moment to personally meet the guy.
