    Anime Boston

    This year, Anime Boston is going to be from April 22nd to April 24th. I'm going to it and it's going to be the first convention I've ever been to.

    So is anyone else going to this? It would be awesome to meet up with others that are. I heard there's a DDR tournament and I'm definitely going to be playing some stepmania there too haha.

    Also just a reminder credit card registrations are closed now so if you're planning on going and you don't have a ticket at this point, you'll have to get a ticket from the line.

    Going:
    Me (obviously)
    ddrxero64 (YES )
    zerofan13

    Might be going:
    Oni-Paranoia

    I might be going to cheer on Lisette (personal friend), but she's a 12 year old chick who can AAA 10's on DDR.

      12 year old girl AAAing 10s? Look out, ladies division. O_O

      This convention would be a bit out of my way AND on short notice (I live in Michigan), so I just have this to say: Make sure you have enough money to buy shit once you manage to get in the door.

            Re: Anime Boston

            Damn straight Dossar. Put me up on the DEFINITELY GOING AND TEARING THAT MACHINE UP list. Though I've played a handful of times in the past couple of years, due to the fact that our closest actual working machine is about 70 minutes away.

            I'll be there reppin SMO, FFR, basically anyone with a mind who can see rhythm gaming is probably a lot more level headed than CoD. Just saying. But yea, if you're coming, let us know. I'll be there for pre registration and all three days. With my SMO shirt lol. Hope to see regular forum members there, and I'll be chillin' with Dossar. Gotta take advantage of chilling with an elite player ya know ;P

              I'm not exactly well known, but I'm going. I did NOT know about the DDR tourney, though, do you know what day and time it's supposed to be happening? And what panel?

                That's because even though it's happening it's a joke. Seriously. I searched it up on their forums and both Dossar and I saw that only one guy was making the pack for the convention this year. I offered the guy some help to make anime pad files or to borrow some from the communities I know (everyone here knows there are a buttload of anime pad files just lying around) and he was pretty self-centered about it, saying that "he had it covered, he's been running the DDR portion and has been stepping for a while, and plans to run it for the next years or until het gets bored."

                Stubborn otaku.

                1) Never think a pack made solely by you will be some ultimate pack, especially if no one has ever heard of you.

                2) It's great to have hundreds of anime pad files on a machine, not just the 20 you deem worthy.

                3) I am going to play my Friday parody simfile and freestyle like an idiot to grab it on camera.

                Edit: zerofan13, I'd suggest you send me or Dossar (preferably Dossar, my cell phone isn't reliable at the moment) your number. If you can trust either of us that is, I justreally recommend it. It gets hectic and finding a meet up spot is a lot easier said than done, so a number would be playing it safe. It's up to you though, I'll be around the gaming area a lot but not all the time.

                    You can still go to Anime Boston, you'd just have to wait in a huge line for a ticket lol.

                      Re: Anime Boston

                      ddrxero64, I'm kinda just going to the thing with some other friends of mine and we're meeting up on both days anyway. I do appreciate it, though!
                      Going to the convention is nothing for me, either. Hynes is literally 5 minutes from my dorm, that's why I'm pretty much going with my other friends here. I will make sure to catch you (and other fellow FFR people) if you pull off playing that parody of Friday though, haha.

                      Ok, what I don't get is, if it's a tourney, why don't they just use regular DDR machines? Extreme/MAX2/Supernova/etc? Are they gonna, but it's just gonna be filled with this random guy's custom files or what? =\

                        @friday comment: Definitely, but I won't be doing it at a specific time, so I hope to contact you some time to let you know when I'll be around the gaming area. I'll be there for preregistration (Thursday) and all weekend. Three day event, so I leave Sunday. I guess I'll hit up this forum Thursday night at the hotel or something to see if I can set a place to meet. Probably just give you a time, we'll try to meet in DDR area.

                        @tourney comment: I realize now it's nowhere near official, just some cocky people trying to play. He's going to bring his customs, and I'm sure the machine will have regular ITG songs. I just realized that they must be ITG freaks, because I downloaded his pack and played through a couple and they're so typically ITG files. I plan to bring some decent pad files, especially anime related. The whole DDR tourney is a horrible excuse for a competition, and isn't actually organized by the Anime Boston themselves. I don't plan to listen to some guy who can't even be open minded enough to try other files than his own. Seriously.

                        See ya there then, I'll probably have the SMO shirt on the day there isn't a rave. So if the rave is on friday night, I'll wear my shuffling pants and plaid shirt. If it's on Saturday night, I'll wear my SMO shirt and black jeans. I'm short, spot me lol

                          Gotcha. Yea that'd be cool. Classes on Friday (Yea, classes on Good Friday, ah well) end for me at 2pm, and since i'll be getting lunch, I'll prolly head to Hynes around 3.
                          I can NOT wait to see Girugamesh on Friday Kind of a side note, but yea, haha.

                          God dang it, ITG. Ah well, hey, least there's rhythm gaming going on, I can take that.

                          And hm, I dunno what I'll be wearing that day that will make me stick out, but when I see ya, I'll let you know then.
                          Me, I'm a short Hispanic guy with typical short black hair :P So yea, lol.
