The fifth annual XCLE is coming to Guelph in just over a week. Everyone is gearing up as we try to match the fun and success of previous XCLE’s. Everyone is welcome and we hope to meet many new faces this year as this great XCL tradition continues. Read on for all the details you need to return in one piece!
Date: September 10-14, 2008
Location: Holiday Inn Guelph
Admission is $90 for Thursday and Friday (combined) and $90 Saturday. We will have six Xbox 360 set ups each with an HD Projector and a really big f'ing screen. GAME ON!
10 essential tips for attending XCLE 2009. Many of these may seem like common sense but it never hurts to know...
1. Bring your own controller. It’s a good idea to also mark or label the controller somehow so you know which is which. Mark your battery too!!
2. If you’re drinking, please don’t depend or “mooch” off of others unless you ask first. Also, it’s always a good idea to bring/buy beverages for those that put this whole event together as well as the occasional administrator. That would be Night Chicken, Jake, or myself. I'll drink Ray's.
3. Please do not put any drinks on the tables that hold the audio/visual equipment. Alcoholic drinks are NOT allowed in the conference room (at first).
4. Please be aware of your personal hygiene. XCL enforces a mandatory one shower per day rule. Don’t forget to brush your teeth regularly too!
5. Please don't wait for Night Chicken to find you and have to ask you for payment. Make paying him your first priority when you arrive. Rumour has it that he has enlisted BradofCanada to do collections. Brad owns guns. You do the math.
6. If you've never met Night Chicken, here's who you're looking for.
The one with the moustache idiot! Here's another shot just to be sure.
Actually, since this is XCLE, chances are he'll look like this.
7. If you crash unexpectedly in someone’s room, do the right thing and offer that person some money for use of the floor.
8. Treat other people’s belongings with respect.
9. Know the one sheet rule if sharing a bed. One sheet separation must be maintained at all times unless otherwise agreed upon. One sheet separation is the responsibility of the last person to enter the bed.
10. Some quick hits that may save you some embarassment. Brad doesn't really eat eyeball soup. Ray's not really asian nor is he as crabby in real life as he is on the forums. Icon is dating Geekess. That clingy person attached to his hip is Mercury.
Let's make it one to remember people! |
