I was making plans to come to the Metreon in the morning, but I don't know about having to buy something. And if the "sign the slip" thing is enforced it will have been for nothing... I'll check back with this thread again later tonight, hopefully it'll be figured out by then.

Where do you live?

 

[Cronox]

Where do you live?

SFSU/Ingleside-ish in SF.

But I'm only staying the night in my apartment if I decide to go to this. If not I'm heading home to the East Bay.

 

[Chromax]

So...anyone lined up already?

 

[MarkMan]

Guys I can't go, I have to cover for someone at work on saturday. Sucks but what can I do? Besides, it's 8 hours of OT so woot woot!

Someone help out MarkMan, I feel bad cause I told him I'd handle getting him a sign and now I had to bail.

Have fun guys

Yea, someone help me out

Please!

I'll make it worth your while...

 

[Wario64]

Anyone still gonna bring their own stuff to get signed? This is my only concern. Im not buying another copy to get the game signed, or to get my own stuff signed. I'll be happy if I can get at least get my Subsistence LE signed

 

[kozmo7]

Are you allowed to give a handshake? Somebody please give Kojima a firm, confident handshake for me, I love that man.

My Subsitence LE is all I'm bringing.

Anyway, what is the official meet time? I'll be there around 8-8:30.

I'm willing to meet up with anyone who will be around then.

 

[Darkpen]

I'm bringing my LE strat guide, my LE box, and MGS2:S. Since Novery will be there, maybe I'll bring MPO too D:

But seriously, what the hell D:

 

[Splash Wave]

Uhh, so I guess I'm just going to ask people if they're from GAF and we'll go from there.

Look for a young fella with a black coat and grey t-shirt. That would be me.

 

[rikichi]

about 7 hours and a half left before I get to the line

 

[Splash Wave]

about 7 hours and a half left before I get to the line

Dude, we should meet up then. I'll be there around 8...

I'd rather not wait by myself.

 

[wenis]

ill be there around 9-930...ill be there with a nametag on and my camera out shooting pictures of the cosplayers

 

[The Bookerman]

There was one guy who brought a FOXHOUND Gamecube which I never saw before, Hideo was amazed too by checking it out.

It was the Twin Snakes bundle they've sold in japan. I just hope he didn't bring the Metal Gear port that was included in the bundle, it was the NES version and Hideo hates it. :lol

 

[Splash Wave]

On my way.

 

[Wario64]

See you guys in about 2 hours, hopefully...

 

[Callo Merlose]

Just a heads up if you get the Limited Edition MGS4 signed. After you peel the plastic wrap off of it, there's another thins sticker layer thing that's really closely put on. Otherwise it's very glossy and he'll be signing a removable sticker.

Good luck, Wario and everyone else. Pay your respects!

 

[Marty Chinn]

Thin sticker? Really? I had no idea. Good heads up. I should be taking Wario so I'll see you guys in a couple hours. I'll be wearing jeans, a blue Sega shirt that says GAMER in the sega font, and probably a black jacket.

 

[Splash Wave]

posting from the line.

The line is fairly long already. If any of you see someone with a grey shirt, black jacket and black messenger bag, don't be a stranger

 

[SamuraiX-]

Hey dude, how many people you got down there already? I'm leaving in about an hour hopefully and should be there before noon... Think I'll be able to get something signed?

EDIT: And can I really just cut all those people to get to you? :lol

FYI, I'll be wearing some blue jeans and a dark gray t-shirt with a kinda a pimped out "H" symbol on the front. I might wring a sweatshirt too since I know it can be pretty cold in Frisco. :O

 

[Wario64]

Long line already? Blah...Marty and I are on our way right now.

 

[Splash Wave]

Hey dude, how many people you got down there already? I'm leaving in about an hour hopefully and should be there before noon... Think I'll be able to get something signed?

There are about 50 people, you should be okay

 

[SamuraiX-]

There are about 50 people, you should be okay

Oh, that's not too bad at all... And to clarify, this is at the PlayStation Store right? Is there any employee there saying how many people exactly will be able to get things signed? Because I know we only have 2 hours from 4-6.

 

[Wario64]

Is the line inside or outside the Metreon?

 

[Splash Wave]

the line is outside, getting fairly long

 

[SamuraiX-]

the line is outside, getting fairly long

Uh-oh. How long is fairly long? :O

Are there like 5 people showing up every 2 minutes? :-/

 

[Wario64]

Marty and I are in the city now. How many people are we looking at Jimmy?

 

[Wario64]

We're at the end of the line now...we probably just passed you Jimmy. Where are you in the line exactly?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Hey Wario, how many look to be in line? How far does it stretch? :O

 

[Splash Wave]

We're at the end of the line now...we probably just passed you Jimmy. Where are you in the line exactly?

Uh, what do you guys look like?

 

[Darkpen]

aw fuck, how long is the line now? D: shiiiiet. I woke up earlier, but I didn't feel like leaving at 4 in the morning D:

 

[Wario64]

We're looking at approx. 190 people here maybe...we're directly across Moscone West Jimmy. We got a little blanket/mat. Im the unshaven asian dude, marty is in his "gamer" shirt with the misses and we got the token white dude with us too.

 

[Darkpen]

could one of you guys pretend like you were holding a spot for me? :lol D:

 

[Wario64]

If you identify us justcome drop by...heh

Yeah, it's really thin. Don't use anything other than your nails to try to peel it off. And there's a paper on the back of it that's carefully stuck on. Slowly peel it off and take the MGS4 case out (it's exactly the same as the regular version) and if you can get that signed too, go for it, because you can always get the regular version again to place it in the Limited Edition box. That's what I and a few others did.

could one of you guys pretend like you were holding a spot for me? :lol D:

i did it for a lurking gaffer, but only because I recognized his "believe" reference. REMEMBER WHAT YOU SWORE! :lol

 

[Darkpen]

okay, I'm heading out now. I'll try to find marty, then try to find you, and see what's up, lol D:

"unshaven asian dude with a mat?" D:

 

[Darkpen]

i'm the big unshaven asian guy with a messenger bag, a striped green shirt, and black slacks. see you guys

 

[Splash Wave]

Totally in line right now.

If you plan on coming, you should be getting here soon.

 

[kozmo7]

Yeah, there is a very thin clear piece of plastic sticker on both parts [top and bottom half] of the front of the MGS4 LE box.

 

[Shadow780]

It was the Twin Snakes bundle they've sold in japan. I just hope he didn't bring the Metal Gear port that was included in the bundle, it was the NES version and Hideo hates it. :lol

Damn that's one good looking console.

 

[ChaoticBlue]

i'd probably won't make it because of gas price.

 

[Momar]

For anyone that's there and is posting by mobile, would it be worth hopping a BART from downtown berkeley to powell station to get my LE signed? Line too long? Not signing outside stuff?

I wasn't feeling well last night and couldn't get to head out early

 

[Wario64]

Update: Kojima and co will NOT be signing stuff you bring in, but they are providing a special cover slip (one with REX on it) to autograph. You can take pictures with him too I think, but they will not sign the game.

Wow that sucks, but that is cool you can take a picture with him...

Someone sell me their slip cover ;(

 

[kozmo7]

Wow David Hayter will be there too? And Yoji Shinkawa? Oh man, aren't you guys nervous to meet them?

 

[mileS]

Take lots of pics guys!

 

[Wario64]

David Hayter is not here but one of the B&B's will be here (the asian one). They are setting up now...they got 80gb bundles lined up at front and they have the signing booth setup. 2 more hours...

 

[Wario64]

Kojima is here.

 

[Wario64]

Update: no pictures, no handshakes...only signing 2 things...slipcover and PS3 gunmetal.

Jeez, no touching? I was hoping someone would bear hug Kojima and take a picture for me :\ I guess bowing is still an option.
