Unless you live on the east coast...

Edit: I shouldn't complain PAX East is only like an hour and a half away from me.
 
Kinda annoyed they aren't coming anywhere that's less than 8 hours from me. Not that I expect them to hit all the states of course, but it'd be nice if they at least stopped in a bordering state of mine. Oklahoma, Kansas, South Dakota, Colorado, Missouri, or Iowa would have all been possibilities. The closest to me is Chicago, which is 8 hours away, and it's only 3 days before the game comes out. Yeah, not worth it.

With that said, it's awesome that they are doing this, very cool. I don't think this is the only announcement we are getting though, as I still have my money on a demo for PSN and XBL. The week has just begun...
 
LA baby! Who else is going? They might actually have a demo for those who show up. Like a code that lets you download via PSN or xbox live. Same with PAX. Just a thought, what do you guys think?

Holy shit, I just realized it's THIS Thursday for me!!!!!

Let me stay at your house, drive your car (even if it isn't August) and shave your beard, Pat, I am almost certainly there!
 
Great idea for publicity, but I wish they were going somewhere by NYC or Philly so I could go. The timing is tight so it doesn't look like they will add more locations. I think a demo would have been a better idea to get it into more possible buyer's hands.

Good luck to whoever's going. I couldn't imagine the mob scene and waiting time to play at one of these events. :)

I didn't think there was ANYTHING within 8 hours of Omaha. :p

Georgia gets no love...:dong:

Yeah. How the hell is Minneapolis getting it when Atlanta isn't?

This is a neat idea, but 7 stops sucks. Was really hoping to get to play it before I bought it. :(
 
Lets hope they hit the East coast more beyond PAX, would be surprising to see it skip that completely unless there was just no time.

Actually there's quite a few bigger cities near Omaha, and Omaha itself wouldn't have been a bad choice. Omaha is quite a large city, and it's in the center of the U.S...so it would be closer for more peeps to travel. Turns out 8 hours was a bit exaggerated. Chicago is 7 1/2 hours away. Minneapolis is 6 hours away. Sioux City, IA and Kansas City, MO/KS would have been big cities that wouldn't have been bad choices either. Seems like the middle and upper western states are getting the shaft. I'd be willing to drive the 6 hours for Minneapolis, but it's not really necessary given that the game comes out 2 weeks after it. Had it been one of the first 2 stops I would have considered it.

It's not really that big of a deal though, if there is a demo released on XBL and PSN, everyone will get to play. Regardless, we're only a mere 7 weeks away. Not a lot of time imo.
 
Oh my God!! I just happen to be going to San Francisco the same weekend for a Royksopp concert! I'm so there on the 26th and 27th! Who wants to meet me, so I can kick your asses?! Regardless of who wins, we can walk to the nearest pub, and I'll buy you a beer!

March 25th-28th is going to be crammed full with so much awesome! Yay!

Edit: @Nasty_Freak : I challenge you ^_~
