Actually most of the IT for the states is done in Canada, 'cause the peguins work for next to nothing.

That explains all the outsourcing. Looks like I'm going penguin hunting.

Any chance we can get ya to come out to Memphis, TN for the MidSouthCon April 1-3?
No one ever comes to Memphis...

I'm in Utah. We don't even have a good Anime convention here!
[/ QUOTE ]
Yup Salt Lake here also (its a long story.......) and I second your emotion.

Well there is Wizard World in Chcago first weekend in August this year. Pretty good con, and I met States there last year. So the Midwest is not a total wash for conventions.
[/ QUOTE ]
True. But if you live west of the Mississippi, east of the Rockies, and north of Texas, you might as well forget about the big comic-cons. Which makes little-to-no sense to me, considering people in the Midwest would have nothing better to do.
You people are funny, Cryptic is in San Jose, S.F is maybe 20 miles away at most? and the yare going to take a detour to every other part of the country to get there???

I'll pay good money for a live penguin! Also, maybe we can fill in the NHL with substitute penguins and end the strike

Ahhhh I see your point.

Speaking as an IT Guy in the US.... I can say I don't own a single Tuxedo
As far as Con's goes.. try being in the North East... You'd think that with Boston 5 hours away from me, Toronto 5 hours away from me, and New York City 4 Hours away from me there'd be more than one major con once every few years. Of course I found out about the last one about a month too late... *grumble*

No chance you guys will be driving through Kansas and will want to stop by my place for a pizza, huh? Or if you don't like pizza, we can get Chinese...or BBQ? I've got a grill!

Our great OCR team is going to post a convention calendar so that you can see when we'll be in your neck of the woods. Don't worry - I'll be going to cons in the Northeast, West, MidWest and Texas...
Sure, wait till I move to Wisconsin and then show up in San Francisco.
DAMN YOU, STATESMAN! DAMN YOU!
Texas?
Poor OCR team.

I'm still waiting to find out if States will be at E3 this year 
[/ QUOTE ]
Of corse he will be there. E3 is a trade show. They need him there to help sell CoV to the retailers. It would be absurd for him not to go.
My place of work is walking distance from the Moscone Center where WonderCon will be held so I will give some thought into going. I WILL however be at E3.

But where's the love for the Pacific Northwest? Sure San Fran is only 16 or so hours drive away - but I could be working on getting level 40 with that time!

Yeah. How's about you don't screw DragonCon over this year by saying. "Oh by the way...we're not coming to that con next week!" Honestly, after doing that, that should've been the first Con visit you announced.

Hear hear. I was really looking forward to that last year.

We'll post something on the main page soon...but I wanted to let everyone know that Cryptic and NCSoft will be at WonderCon in San Francisco (Feb. 18th - 20th).
Click HERE for more info.
I'll be there to answer questions, give out prizes...so make sure you come!

And here I preordered my tickets to see the Firefly folks, now I get to meet the CoH folks as well?

How about the GDC. I know that some Cryptic recuiters will be there, but will you be there this year?
[ QUOTE ]
Go back into your hole lapdog. The marketing of this game is best with word of mouth. Many people rather see in game content then know that the Lead designer is running around to conventons. After many months now the "fun" and "COOL" factor is wanning.
What amazing info will Jack say at a comic book convention except "i can't go into that" and "skuls"
[/ QUOTE ]
Out of curosity, did you read your own post? There's a lot of people who don't play online games, games at all, or hate the concept of pay-by-month games. Yet there's millions of people who like comic books.
So, my GOD, they can see Cryptics demo booth at the con, see the game, see it played, play it, and, HOLY [censored], tell their friends about the cool [censored] game they saw at the con, so that maybe, just maybe, this will get more people into the game then being able to accounce "Issue 4 is coming out 2 hours sooner."
