[How long can I show each of my game?]

Hi!  This is Craig from Console Gaming staff!  I'm doing a brand new event for FanimeCon's Console Gaming called Demo Dojo Showcase!  It's an event during a con where we showcase a lots of different games within 3 hours and anyone are welcome to try them out.  Right now I'm looking for attendees who has very interesting game to show off!  I'm looking for something wacky like "Muscle March"!  Very obscure like "Slap Happy Rhythm Buster"!  It also can be awful like "Shaq Fu"!  We would love to see other attendee's diverse game taste and share it with many people as possible!  This is the best chance for you to actually "use your own game and console"  for the event.  If you like to join, at least post 2 games at this thread that you "physically own" that you like to showcase and I'll ask for your info by PM.

Q&A

How long can I show each of my game?
For now we will only be showcasing 30 minutes each.

Are there any restriction on what games we're aloud to bring?
Yes for legal reason.  If you don't carry a physical copy or any burned copy games.  We will deny you.  No emulators, Simulator games, Stepmania, Mugen, etc.

Are their a genre we can't submit to showcase?
As much as I like to put as much game as possible.  There's a limit.  I also shouldn't suggest having RPG games as part of your submission here because it takes a long time to go through the game and doesn't involve or interact other players.

How appropriate the game has to be?
And the game has to be no more than M rated.  No adult rated nor Hentai games.  Depending on the game might be used at a later night slot.

Are you going to be watching over my game and console?
We will watch over your game and console. But please be present at your station at all times unless you need to have someone from staff watch over your stuff for couple minutes (like restroom break).  However you are fully responsible for what happens to your game, controller, and console during the showcase (For example if it's gets damaged, lost, or stolen).   We might also have you sign a waiver before showcasing your game.

If my game is approved, do I still need a badge to get in the Gaming Hall?
Yes.  You still need a badge to participate.

If I just want to stop by and try out other people's game?  What day is it on?  What time does it start?
It actually happens every day.  But for the time is TBD.

If you got any more question just send me a PM.  And I can try my best to answer your question of if it's okay.

Q&A

How does the event work?

Well basically it's a contest that all you have to do is play and set the best record within 3 hours! If you manage to set the record and keep it until the event is over, you win the prize!

Do I have to sign up early to sign up for this tournament?

No you don't have to. Anyone can showup and play to give it a shot. If the game gets crowded I will do a sign up sheet to actually have people taking turns (you also need to let people who haven't tried play). The only time I need your info if you have manage to set the records.

Who do I report to claim that I set the record?

I'll introduce myself at beginning of the contest. But if you showed up later or just last minute. Just find the available staff watching over the stations and make sure the score is visible for us to confirm that you set the record. Then we put your name on our special board.

Are their a limit in how many games I can enter and set records?

There is no limit. You can enter all the games you like. You can try and attempt to set the record on all the games you like. The more you're good at, the more prize you can earn on each game. That's a total of 6 prizes!

How many tries am I aloud to do in one game?

Depending on the game.  You're try as many as you like until you're satisfied on games with your score.   But remember, you have to let other people try it too.  For example, Nintendo World Championship takes a long time that it's preferred that you let other play next.

Do I have to stick around the whole 3 hours?

You don't have to unless you really want to (just sticking around to set records). If you already set up your own record. You're welcome to take a break anytime. But remember, you still need to check later to make sure no one breaks your record so you'll have enough time to keep yours safe.

Are their a 2nd place prize for each game?

Nope. Only one prize for each game.

If I do win. How do I claim my prize?

If you do win. I want you to be present at the close to the end of the contest to claim your prize.

We will update more info for this contest!

Ready for a good challenge?  Try out the Gamer Royale tournament!  Players will test their skills by playing different games in each round. Each round varies until conditions are met. So be prepared! You're gonna need all the skill, knowledge, and luck to win this one! There are 5 games total that must be overcome! Here are the following games:

Round 1: Super Smash Bros Brawl
Round 2: Card Captor Sakura Tetris
Round 3: Street Fighter
Round 4: Mystery Game #1
Round 5: Mystery Game #2

How it's played?
I can only give you limited info regarding the rules and how it's setup. Let's use an example from last year's Gamer's Royale so you can get a better idea how it works: First round was Super Mario Bros 1-1 speedrun. Just go finish the level as fast as you can! Second round was Tetris Attack that all you have to do is beat your opponent. Don't expect that it will go as accordingly to plan that the game might be used against you. For example, thinking that you're going to play Tetris against people normally but at the end you're force to use the Wii Balance Board and try to get the most lines. Expect some bad curveball thrown at you!

Is it worth entering?
Heck yes! For all that struggle you had to go through prizes are worth entering! Our last year winner gets to attend Fanime this year for free. Will you be the next winner?

Runnerup Prize: $20 Gift card
Grand Prize: Attend FanimeCon 2015 for free!

I was pretty shock and sad at the same time when I read this.

Anyone else is gonna attend this event this Saturday?

http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=124309

Sometimes we're bit serious when it comes to our gaming side.

Right now I'm more competitive on DDR, Guitar Hero, Tetris, and Ouendan/EBA.
But I'm working hard to move up on IIDX, Guitar Freaks, Drummania, Pop'N music.  I somtime work on SSBB and SFIII Third Strike.

I'm curious about how good is your Japanese in general since I only met very few real Japanese attendees spoke Japanese towards me during Fanime and we had a decant conversation.  I'm raised in a Japanese family that I do good enough to have a conversation but still need work on more Kanji and more hard vocabulary.  And I need practice speaking more wit actual fluent people!

EDIT: Sorry guys, since there was a stupid internet fight wit annoying Mikey rude post towards me and my girlfriend, I'm gonna lock this and let this move to the Internet Drama thread.

I want to see results since I've missed out.

Happy B-day RubymoonIII and I love you!

Good to spread this around the con.

Alright guys, I would like to know how u guys throw a good room party at cons, so in the future I would like to throw one myself at later cons!

I love yo mama jokes!  This is great experience to learn mama or insult jokes by saying each other!  Come up wit a good mama joke!
WARNING: THIS IS A JOKE GAME.  IF YOU FEEL OFFENDED OR BUTT HURT THEN LEAVE!

I'm gonna start!

Yo mama's so fat, when she wears a yellow raincoat, someone yells "TAXI"!

I recently got back from Wondercon and there's gonna be many movies I'm looking forward to.  And i wanted to share other movie you're looking forward to watch.

The Forgotten Kingdom
Harold and Kumar 2
Iron Man
Speed Racer
Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull

Questionable ones:
Kung Fu Panda
Hellboy 2 (I need to watch the first one)
The Dark Knight

Post of anime you considered is the worst anime or you personally hated wit the passion you want to get rid of them.
Hating the anime version from the manga version is fine too.

Colorful: I would enjoy ecchi fanservice but after watching the whole thing it was repetitive and annoying.  I was like "MAN, way are they at least gonna have a real girlfriend or something??".  The last episode did no justice to the series and it was garbage to me.

Samurai Deeper Kyo: In my opinion, a bad example of manga turning into anime.  I read the manga and I was really looking forward to this series.  Then I was hoping that the evil version kyo kills off at least the bandit, he fights monsters instead.  what the f***....  Then I was like man what was so good about this series?  I just can't feel it.  Then watching the last episode I was like "this was disappointling like hell, I did not like it at all.  No.... I HATED IT!!".

Musashi Gundoh:  I watched the first episode since i was curious how bad it was.  They were right.  This was like watching a B-movie of an anime split into TV episodes.  The opening theme sounds terrible, characters was less appealing, the scene were recycled, do I have to say anymore??

I am gonna head back to my hometown on a Friday around the 4th week of Dec.  Plus I wanted to have other people from outside of Salinas to come kick back wit us.  If u wanted to plan on just kicking back around Dec 21-23 that sounds perfect.  Just PM me if you're interested.

I was thinking if you want to do a gathering for the series thats featured in DS.  Such as Ouendan/EBA, cooking mama, etc...
while I do a brain age cosplay.  What do you think or think that its might be too big?

EDIT: As long its DS related series, Phoenix Wright series are welcome to join as long it doesn't conflict your gathering.
