Support NeoGAF

[Ephemeris]

Ripping my post from the MGS4 Screens thread; just in case some people are purposely avoiding the discussion.

So I was wandering the Times Square Virgin Megastore today... a sign next to the playstation display says they're going to hold a launch event for MGS4 on June 11th (12 midnight). Kojima will be there to sign copies of the game (the sign states you must purchase the game at the event) and take photos, etc. I cant find anything about it online though, so you probably won't believe me but the sign definitely said it and my reading comprehension can't be that bad.

I'll be in the city later running some errands but I think a sneaking mission to verify this is definitely in order.

It's been verified.

NYC-GAFFERS. ASSEMBLE.

Spoiler

I was originally going to title it: "Hideo stops making ZOE3 long enough to greet gamers", but I didn't want to get banned over ZOE again -_-

 

[alba]

Damn you guys are lucky! I wish I could have my copy signed

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.GIF

ONE QUESTION AND ONLY ONE QUESTION (RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Will they be selling LE? If so, im SOOOO there!

 

[tha_con]

I request any trust worthy GAFFERS let me send them money via Pay Pal and get me a signed copy. Jesus CHRIST I'm jealous of NYC gamers right about now.

 

[MarkMan]

DAMN.

I wanna go to NYC for this!

Can someone get one signed for me? I'll be forever grateful!

 

[Mejilan]

No fucking way. Have fun guys!

I wish my aunt still lived in Jersey. :|

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I might seriously cross borders just to see Hideo Kojima. If Arsenal Gear crashes there, i would be fucking pissed :/

 

[womfalcs3]

Damn it I wish I lived in NYC.

I want to get my copy signed too.

 

[gamerx]

OMG!!! most go.

 

[Vieo]

I would go, but I'm too lazy.

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I hate you!

 

[neojubei]

Well Boston is 3 hours 52 mins away, so I suppose I can take a trip to NYC.

To cross the border or not to cross the border, that is thy question...

 

[Kagari]

Michigan is 11 hours from NYC

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

To cross the border or not to cross the border, that is thy question...

Well... All Canadian Gaffers can carpool/Greyhound together :lol

 

[neojubei]

Someone should organize a NYC GAF meet up.

Michigan is 11 hours from NYC

Ouch.

 

[Ephemeris]

I'm thinking of bringing my MGS Essential case or possibly my original copy of MGS (though it's in crappy condition). I feel almost.. greedy.

Spoiler

You were banned for that too?? :lol: My first GAF ban

My first as well. :lol

I might seriously cross borders just to see Hideo Kojima. If Arsenal Gear crashes there, i would be fucking pissed :/

Would be an awesome way to make an entrance. :lol :lol

Well Boston is 3 hours 52 mins away, so I suppose I can take a trip to NYC.

We all should meet up.

 

[Slayer-33]

lol i live in the City, too bad I wont be getting MGS 4


Maybe I should bring my MGS collection and have him sign them (I'll tell him it'll raise their eBay value :lol )

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Greyhound: Toronto to NYC and back = $165
Holy shit! That's price of 3 MGS4 :/

 

[Firewire]

Midnight launch in Liberty City with Niko running around like a mad man, sure but only for Kojima!

 

[neojubei]

lol in the City, too bad I wont be getting MGS 4

I think you have to buy a copy to attend, its a small price if you want your MGS collection signed.

Would it be in bad form to bring some of my MGS collection to be signed? Oh and how can some of us help people that cannot make it to NYC?

Do not forget cab fare and hotel costs. I'm lucky to have some peeps in New York, so I have a place to crash if I go.

 

[RyuHayate]

I could probably get there within two hours.

 

[Pop On Arrival]

I live 18 hours away from New York by fucking plane. I have absolutely zero relatives in the city and I swear, I will be doing everything that is humanly possible to score a ticket to the US and go to the launch event and have Hideo Kojima sign his latest piece of software for me.

 

[Kagari]

I would totally pay for someone to buy me a copy and get it signed.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

IDo not forget cab fare and hotel costs.

Cab fare =
Hotel Fare = .... what hotel fare :lol I'll be camping there :lol

That question is on my mind.

Then say goodbye to your wallet.

If I go, I'll let you know.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

So not worth standing in line hoping you're one of the ones to get one signed. Have fun though whoever goes.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Then say goodbye to your wallet.

True.
I might just drive/carpool or something IF i go.

IF.





IF!

 

[dralla]

I'll rent a room out for 20 bucks!

 

[dreamer3kx]

damn i preordered my LE copy in Gamestop here in NYC, I wish I can get that signed.

 

[neojubei]

I wonder if Virgin will be selling the limited edition version or the regular version.

I'll rent a room out for 20 bucks!

You mean the roach infested seedy Carter Hotel?

 

[akachan ningen]

Greyhound: Toronto to NYC and back = $165
Holy shit! That's price of 3 MGS4 :/

 

[WinFonda]

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!


...


And I will not be able to partake ;(

 

[neojubei]

That pic is so hawt.

damn i preordered my LE copy in Gamestop here in NYC, I wish I can get that signed.

I've pre-ordered mine in Boston, so I have it worst. >_<

my beautiful house! with 42" plasma in spare room

 

[jiggle]

If he's in NY, who'll be at Japan/LA/Australia I wonder.

 

[neojubei]

Thats good, now you can invite some out of state gaffers to spend the night.

If he's in NY, who'll be at Japan/LA/Australia I wonder.

I think it is a tour so, he might be in a different city at a different time and date.

 

[KGKK]

Fuck hotel fare, I will sleep with the hobos. Can you still cross the border with only your proof of citizenship or do you now need a valid passport to get into the States? I think they changed it to the latter this year right? If so then fuck.
