  1. Yes. At-door ticket details here: https://registration.babscon.com/registration/register.php
  2. I bent a pin on my AMD chip once. Bent it back with my fingers, but you could probably use one of those little red straws from cans of compressed air if you want to get all fancy. Bent pins in an Intel socket are a little bit more involved.
  3. Comic Sans really is appropriate for everything.

      I see no evidence for Comic Sans, so therefore I do not believe in Comic Sans. Besides its not like its the Borg or anything, lol.

      It's worse (better) than the Borg. You see your fonts folder? Try and get rid of it.

       

      It'll be back.

  4. The only reason to get Premium (at least for BF4) was to increase the number of simultaneous layers available to your emblem such that you could have the most gloriously fabulous pony emblems.
  5. One of the last things they'd want to do as such a high profile MLP convention is to cross Hasbro, though.
  6. Got moved according to the schedule: http://www.babscon.com/events/
  7. I liked Battlefield 2. Never got into BF3 or BF4 very much but I heard some pretty decent things about Hardline. Might pick it up when it goes on sale.
  8. It's been moved to 9, so that gives you all... a little bit of extra time. Though I do expect to see people already lined up pretty early...
  9. Based on this post here by @Simon, http://mlpforums.com/topic/123630-babscon-hours/ Early AM Friday morning. I'm not sure if they're open Thursday, but if they were last year, maybe the same?
  10. I have a paper calendar, yeah. But I always forget to turn the page so it's at least a few months behind. The only calendar I use on a daily basis is the one on my phone, which syncs with every other e-mobile device I own.
  11. Hell of an intro, welcome to the forums, Ruby. You're not alone in feeling that way. Looking forward to working with you and the rest of the V&A crew!
  12. Phantasy Star Online. I had over 1,000 hours on one character. Granted, I don't recall how much of that was just idling around in lobbies and throwing emote chats at random passerbys, but yeah. PSO.
  13. Honestly, a webcam livestream of the Poniverse booth should exist. Round-the-clock footage of your favorite staffers in cosplay. It's like you were right there. Watching. Every minute of the con.
  14. Just followed you on Twitter the other day. I'm looking for a few keychains so I'll be sure to stop by.
  15. Might have to stop by... gonna be in the vendor/artist hall way more than I should be anyway... plus my badge name is my login name here so that's easy enough.
  16. Problem is there are just too many games that use FXAA as the only type of AA. I'd rather have it off in that case.
  17. To be fair, the requirements are very reasonable. Maybe not Minesweeper-class, but definitely a breath of fresh air in an era of PC games that require overclocked i7's to run at 30 fps, probably. And it looks amazing. The art style is very reminscent of SimCity 2013, with the whole diorama look and just zooming in to inspect little building details and have it all running at a steady clip. It's just fantastic, really. The PC really needed a good city building simulator in my opinion and this game ticks all the right checkboxes. The devs seem really transparent about the whole thing with their sending review copies to streamers a week ahead of time, so here's hoping they keep up the support.
  18. Got it just a few hours ago from GMG -- game's awesome. SimCity 5. Ignore what happened in 2013.
  19. And here I am playing Smash Bros U over twenty years later again to have my ass kicked by Pong.
  20. I'd be up for this. I'm staying at the hotel Friday and Saturday night -- don't have anything planned for the convention outside of whatever hours I'll be staffing whatever needs to be staffed.
  21. Just keeps getting better and better. Got my room booked this weekend, days off. Ready to rock.
  22. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-31012410 They don't appear to be doing too badly. I recently purchased an unlocked Note 4 for the following reasons: A) Removable storage Removable battery C) Unlocked, off-contract from a retailer selling approx. $200 below retail I was comparing both the 6 Plus and the N4, which won out for the above reasons. However the reason I wanted a removable battery was in case the stock battery wouldn't cut it, like the pathetic slab that came with my S4. So I'd have an option to throw in an extended battery, if I were to need it. My experiences with iPhones in the past have been generally favorable with regards to their power management, so a removable battery wouldn't be as big a concern. There are Android phones with sealed batteries and no external storage as well, the Nexus 6 and the new S6, to name two. Removable storage is also very nice, but to be honest my usage hasn't exceeded ~30 GB so it wouldn't be a deal breaker. Then there's the price. $200 below than retail sweetened the deal. As for 3c phones, consider how much more you'd be paying over the course of that contract term versus buying the phone outright. With the installment plans now available if you aren't able to front the full cost of the phone, the contract plans make zero sense, "3c" phone or not. So I don't come off as some sort of Apple apologist, I own a Galaxy Tab S and an S4 currently. But I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the iPad as the best tablet hands down for the sheer number of apps, ease of use, and general polished feel of the user experience.
