Lol at the dinosaur roaming about

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

which side of the truck??

the far side. well there's a group in front of me that took a picture just now. I'm well hidden lol

 

[GKFinns]

I just got here!

 

[mews]

the zero dawn dino thing was cool. pointed at it and yelled "that's my dad" for a vine. time enough to make memes in line

 

[Japanmanx3]

whoops, wrong thread.

 

[Domcorleone]

This line is crazy! How many people does the main stage hold? Anyone know?

 

[spazimoose]

They're sharing the convention center with a health conference so they can't be using more than 2 maybe 3 halls? The line is a little misleading though. It's basically single file towards the back.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Yea no idea if I'll be able to get in to the keynote. I'm pretty much assuming I'm not so I can't be disappointed ha

At the "spud runners " truck in line

 

[Neonep]

There are a ridiculous amount of people, WAY more than last year.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

For how many people are, I only just barely saw the first cosplayer. Kinda surprised lol

 

[DJ Lushious]

Be prepared, we get to go through metal detectors. Security is handing out ziplock bags for pocket items and belts to go into.

 

[demosthenes]

So I just woke up, a bit later than I wanted. I'm not too far, could I still leave after a shower and get a good seat at the keynote or am I probably sol?

[Kanashimi]

Been dealing with a hotel issue since 7 AM, pretty pissy.

So people are being let in already can 1) someone post the size of the showroom; like a picture (I don't care if I have to stand in the back, but I'd like to be in there)? 2) are there any bag restrictions we need to be aware of?

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Just got in after lining up at 6:40 for the badge. There's two full sets of bleachers and a whole final block on the floor with seats. If you're barely getting here...I don't think you're getting in

 

[Brian_FETO]

Made it in, sitting center floor. Praise be

 

[finalflame]

Anyone arriving now or probably who has arrived in the last hour is most likely fucked. This feels like less space than last year, definitely a smaller stage and fewer front seats. Got a decent seat on the front bleachers. Lining up at 9p the night before next year.

 

[mews]

hanging out in middle center. worth it! yeah you're pretty screwed if you're just showing up now

 

[crashnburn]

Ya, we got here at 7am and just got in. Probably 2/3 capacity now. Sorry late arrivals

 

[Kanashimi]

Kinda shocked they'd have a smaller space than the last two years... (friend just sent me a picture). Well, guess I'll sit in my hotel and watch it from my laptop. Thanks shitty Anaheim hotel. 8D

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Obviously I don't speak for everyone, but I think there's extra hype this year because southern California doesn't really have anything like this. Pax west is in Seattle and E3 is reserved for the press. If the expo keeps moving around, it might be awhile til they come back over here. Gonna make the most of this!

I kinda hope they keep this here. Like you said we don't have anything like this here.

D23 would be the closest.

Thanks. I'll watch from my friends apartment and come around after to get my badge and probably miss most of today. Ah well.

edit: Any comments about bags? Could I wear my book bag?

Not gonna lie, if they keep the area I'll be pissed. I've been following it around for three years, but they've always said they'd move from place to place like their trucks and yet they keep staying on the West. It makes sense money wise, but once in Vegas and twice in California? Seems kinda biased for what they wanna do.

Lol at the dinosaur roaming about

Are they putting the watchers on display again?(dino with the headlight)

 

[decisions]

I'm near the front of the badge pickup line right now, it's not moving (been standing here an hour) but I assume there's no chance I'm getting in right?

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Yeah probably not. Pretty much filled now.

 

[SoldierIce64]

Got into the show about 20 minutes ago, near the back but I got a good view of the stage.

 

[decisions]

Yeah probably not. Pretty much filled now.

Yeah OK. Anyone know if they're showing the conference on that big screen outside? I would have great seats for that!

 

[Sawneeks]

Also got in near the back. It's basically full now with some single seats open here and there.

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

Did anyone's water bottle actually have the flavor infuser?

 

[Moose_Wrangler-]

Got in a couple minutes ago. Sitting in bleachers on the right side. Kinda sucks that it is much smaller than last year.

Did anyone's water bottle actually have the flavor infuser?

Mine sure didn't.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Are they putting the watchers on display again?(dino with the headlight)

I think? It was Horizon related, not really following the game

Thanks. I'll watch from my friends apartment and come around after to get my badge and probably miss most of today. Ah well.

edit: Any comments about bags? Could I wear my book bag?

I brought my backpack and they didn't seem to bother checking them. Saw several people with bags, think you're good.

 

[Cheetos is Pretty Awesome]

snagged a great seat right in the middle for the keynote. pretty good considering I lined up at like 8.

I live like 10 minutes away too from the convention center so I literally rolled out of bed, showered and went to this thing. lol at the idea of queuing at midnight or whatever for a press conference

 

[FinaruDensetsu]

I still see some open single seats so there's still a chance!

 

[rhysspieces]

For how many people are, I only just barely saw the first cosplayer. Kinda surprised lol

I was looking forward to more cosplayers because of the size, lucky you've seen at least one.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

So how many people this year versus last? Lots more, or is it just an illusion?

 

[meanspartan]

Im in the back of the badge pick up line (well, not the back any more it grew behind me). Havent moved in the 15 min since ive gotten in line.

I thought they started badges at 7am, are they freezing distribution til the conference is filled?

 

[Sawneeks]

You can bring bags. They just have you go through a metal detector before you get in but I've got a backpack and they didn't care.

 

[Domcorleone]

I got a seat towards the front of the stage, my brother encouraged me to take the single seat and he is sitting further back. This is my first PSX so I'm hoping for a great one!

 

[Beatofficer]

The hall for the keynote is a lot smaller than last years.

I honestly hope it's a semi annual event. found good seating but at least I know now to arrive a lot sooner

 

[meanspartan]

Seein a hilarious amount of 3dss in line. Only a few vitas

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Adam Boyes is stuck in line with the rest of us. Amazing.

Damn lol. He literally walked past me and I didn't want to be a bother so I just treated him like a Joe. Would have let him cut the line with me and not talk to him during the show. Least I could do lol.

 

[nhlducks35]

Are cameras allowed (i.e. DSLRs)?

 

[finalflame]

Brought my 3DS, not my vita.

Are cameras allowed (i.e. DSLRs)?

Yup, I'm in with my X-T2 + 23mm f/1.4. Tons of DSLRs floating around. Nobody gives a single fuck

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

However they're letting people into the convention this year is so terribly unorganized compared to last year.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

So the panels Will be in the same room we all just left? Because I'm surprised literally everyone left.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

So the panels Will be in the same room we all just left? Because I'm surprised literally everyone left.

If it's setup like last year, yeah, all of the panels will be in the same theater.
