Back then i've been there twice already and i am going to pass by next year aswell (since its going to be in Cologne, which is, where i go to school).
Next Generation Games are boring but the GC is an awesome event.

i might come, if i can afford it.
last year i was hanging around at the retro stand all day

no, i wont be able to come over this year spadgy, since my limit of free-train tickets has expired, and it's currently impossible for me to afford one.
Leipzig is just too far away from my location

I might stop by, if I have time. Not 100% sure yet, though.

I thought that they were having it in Colonge this year, as it's much easier to get to. (Continental has non-stops between Newark and Colonge, for example.)

Anyway, if I lived in Europe and could afford to go, I definitely would. Man, you guys are lucky with all your train connections, with the price of gas these days!

Does anyone know if Level-5 will be there? I know they'll be at TGS, but I'm really anxious to hear more news about PS3 White Knight Story.

It's gonna be in Cologne from next year.

Well - if anybody does head over, send me a PM and maybe we can meet to slag off modern gaming. I'm really busy working with a million appontments Wednesday and Thursday daytime, but other than that I'm about the other days and every evening.

Im talking next year. Theres no way im doing anything this year.

I was going to B.O.D but then it dawned on me that i was going to attend an offical Capcom endorsed event. So i held back from trying to take any shirts. then my sheduel fell apart and I just could not go.

Ive mentioned that I want to get in to more of my own stuff. clever and good looking gaming shirts which I cant be bitch slaped for using copyright I dont have rights to.

This year for me is packed tight. But next year I want to do a lot of promotion for my wears. the san diego comic con would be cool but realisticaly im looking at 2010 maybe 2011 If i was to attend with a stall. thats pie in the sky right now though.

That would be great Lordstar. How we can working out going depends on if I'm there for work or just there as a punter, but could work something out. Last time I went as press a fellow journalist got his hotel paid for (by Miscrosoft I think), and then had about 4 mates not in the industry stay on his floor! Nice hotels when the game companies pay too!

Jockel - I'm flying home on Friday!

Ok, so i'll consider thursday.
I could even come on wednesday, but i don't know if i want to spend those extra €.
but wednesday will probably be more relaxed. decisions, decisions.
i guess i'll stick with wednesday.
are you there on wednesday, spadgy?

hey, lordstar will be at the GC in cologne next year?

We should arrange a shmoop meet there, with our own shmups.com stand.
