Totally agree with Jack's comment about the kids, some of them were so young and so talented it was unreal - we're talking so young that their hands were practically too small for the controllers! Watching them create was amazing.
Anyways, who else thought that Def Jam Rap Star stage was literally the most cringeworthy thing in gaming history?
Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing some videos too! Every time I turned I seen at least 3 cameras pointing at the screens and about 30 people watching so there'd better be some good stuff! :)
It was not easy creating with so many people watching over your shoulder that's for sure...every time I turned around I thought 'ooooh *$%*! that's scary, let's keep my eyes on the screen then I won't know how many people are actually watching'. It felt like you couldn't stop for a second, if I stopped even just to look at my phone or stretch or something it would mean all those people were stood around with nothing to watch or do! Scary pressure, especially when you have no ideas and are literally making it up on the spot :)
The highlight of creating has to be putting anti gravity switches on literally anything I could. People behind me must have thought 'what is he doing?! What a noob!'.The reason I was doing it was because Rich was sat next to me and for every unnecessary switch placed in the level, he developed a severe twitch. Well worth it.
:)
This sounds oh so familiar. :)Quote:

Did anybody see my LBP2 sort-of-level where you control a sackbot with a bag on his head and you can change if he is non-lethal, plasmafied, electrified, or burning with L2 & R2 and he could super jump by holding R1 and clicking X?

If that stand alone hadn't been there it would have been 10 times quieter! They had someone from the BBC interviewing someone about the game, when it really didn't seem that good. Sing-star with rap songs if you ask me.
Dorien made me laugh in the conference. MM asked what they should make live on stage and he shouts out "SHARK SURVIVAL!"
If you are reading this Dorien, I was the one that was filming sitting in front of you. :) And I was next to you in the queue. :p I wasn't sure if it was you though. When I came back to talk to you I couldn't find you. :(
Right then. Who was the guy with the big frizzy blonde hair? and who was the ginger guy? I was the one with the camera and the red LBP top. :)
I didn't have a clue what Grant was saying to me. O_o I figured out that he was making a canon that fired sackbots into dangers and the better the death, the more points you get. He made the first one jump into the canon, but missed the canon and it died on the fire on the back of it. He got no points for that. :p
Had a good day, but now me and leather are both ill. :(
Oh wow it was such a great day i want to go again! Shame i didnt meet anyone though
jk
Glad you all had a great day, waiting to see some pics and vids!
Yep, that was ME dorien :DQuote:

LOL I was standing next to both the people I think you are describing and talked to the 'redhead' but didn't know who they were. Gonna go out on a limb and guess Nuclearfish????Quote:

Then I could've got to speak to some of you's a bit more. I am proper deaf as well lol and even was I was having a good chat with rtm about his sacbot, I couldn't hear him properly and had to keep leaning in like a weirdo :p
One of the highlights for me was also Danny (Daniel Leaver of MM) coming up with some lady (lol don't know if she worked for MM) to where I was watching some random guy playing lbp2. He asked if the dude minded if they joined in and turned on 3 more controllers and handed me one as well. All 4 of us played Tower Of Woop and Danny kept trying to hold me back with the grapple hook to let the lady get in front. I kept fighting on though lol
I also joked with him that I had just watched him and the lady playing that dancing game on the Wii that was next to the lbp2 bit. Said he "was such a great dancer:rolleyes:" lol
Was much fun and will defo go back next year if everyone's up for it. This time I will be coming for a drink :D Didn't see you's all leave, came back about 6:45 to say goodbye and you's were all gone :(
I think i was standing next to you in that pic, i didn't know who you were though. I was the teen in skinny jeans and a grey duffel jacket recognise me?
Heh, reminds me of the time Aya042 introduced himself to me. "Who?" "Oh!" :DQuote:
"Hi I'm TIG!!1" it would've been met with baffled silence probably.
Bludhound made a post on the LBL blog with a couple of videos from MM's develop session as well as Gruntos and StevenI creating if anyone is interest.

Big frizzy blonde hair dude was meh! And as dorien says, the other was Nuclearfish (if you are talking about the red haired one...) And that was you Dorien? You should have introduced yourself D:Quote:

I introduced myself to people I recognised. But apart from standing in the middle of a seemingly random bunch of people and shouting "I'm dorien" then it was hard to know who to introduce myself to lolQuote:

Also being a 6'4" fat dude with a beard in his 30's and hanging around the 'kids game' I thought people might start getting the wrong ideas lol
I don't remember seeing any pictures of you, but I somehow knew it was you. :p I wasn't sure if you would know me though seeing as you have been a bit inactive. :/Quote:

Yeah, didn't quite work though. :( Rotators don't quite do the job as good as motor bolts. And having no corner editor made it pretty dififcult. Eventually it turned into a crazy spinning thing that didn't work so I gave up. :DQuote:

Oh wait...
As I kept saying all day, next year: NAME TAGS!!! I felt like such a weirdo introducing myself as "Leather". I think people thought I was asking them a question, some sort of bondage related question. So yeh, name tags next year everyone!
Awesome day though. :)
Perhaps there should be an official LBPC name-tag template, which we could all print out and write our usernames on. :DQuote:

His mother told me they were gonna join LBPC, so if they are reading this, I didn't get your PSN, can you send me a request and put in the message who you are :)
It was brilliant meeting everyone, there were to many to mention, but meeting face to face and having a bit of craic was awesome.
The build we were using is not compatible with the beta, so unfortunately you won't get to see the changes i made, and i won't get a chance to finish it :(
We need LBPC t-shirts with our names on them. I would gladly have bought one for this!.. *Runs off to create thread*
I just found this photo my husband took on Saturday. I'm guessing but I think that might be Moleynator and Leather sitting chatting to Jack and rtm. Anyone else want to shout if they're on there? I'm in lurk mode just behind rtm.

Yep, the one in red is me. I didn't know so many people were behind me! xD
Lol grant is just sitting there, and his face says like: this totally, totally, is not working. :pQuote:

What's with the nasty matching shirts? :P
If there was an event like this in the NY/ NJ area I'd go. Come on, giant sackboy statue in times square!
Am I the only one in NYC that plays this game?!?!!?
Thanks shropshirelass! Yeh, that's me, the one gorming at rtm, his eyes were just, beautiful.
If anyone else has some pics I'd love to see them! :)
I believe the matching shirts were so we could be used to distract journalists from Spaff and Tom, who prefer chatting to the fans - not sure how many interviews I declined over those two days!
@ leather, I can send you some pictures of my eyes if you want ;)
That's also some horrible posture, you look like a bunch of code monkeys... I think a couple of you actually are? so am I :P
You guys got stools?!? We had burlap cubes ;) Talk about bad for your posture. lol
It won't be the same if I don't see them with my own eyes. ;) (End of that, before it gets too weird)Quote:

Sounds like you guys had a great time. I love hearing the stuff about the kids.
LOL I just found this vid of MM's developer conference at Eurogamer and at about 4:16 I was the one that shouted out Shark Survival for a laugh as a theme for their level :p
