Nique's happy fun time thread ~ Super general discussion

Hmmm... It's only a 1 1/2 hour drive from where i live. It's getting more interesting by the minute.

[Kallera]

Depends on where you're from. I'm in Italy so the trip for here is about 100 Euros round trip if you book early enough.

I'm in the northeast us. >_>…

In another note. I found that AnimeNEXT is next month. And that's much closer to me.

By the way, before y'all get too excited. SE didn't yet confirm that Yoshi-P will be at Gamescom. It's very possible and even probable, since it'll be right around the launch of the game, so they'll probably send him out to drum promotion up as much as possible, but don't count on it 100%

[Coris]

I can go there in around 40min xD'
Dunno if I'll go, want to know first what companies etc will be there.
If I go, then I'll stare at you from afar *cough*

Oh and a totally random sidenote:
My favorite dutch word is "fietspad" and I love dubbel vla and that vanilla one with the crispy chocoballs *o*

[Mjollnir]

How do people manage to get there? How expensive does such trips cost, usually?

Eurostar from London to Cologne via Brussels is just over 5hrs and £70 each way. You get cheaper rail connections from the rest of UK to London too because um.. Eurostar? idk. Pretty reasonable price, until I realised I'd have to bring my whole family. Selling the family holiday for the year to my wife as a video games convention... I'll be lucky lol

Yeah, I guess it depends quite heavily on whether the game has recently been released, or is just about to be released, presumably there's an even chance of either at that point.

It's the same for me. But i just talked about it with my little brother and he's psyched to watch the Tournaments there, so the chances are high that we'll go to the Gamescom this year. (^_^ )

Idm when Yoshida wont be there this year.
It's fun anyways to visit the Square Enix booth with the EU team and the gamescom is big! There are so many things to do and so many games to test XD
Sure would be awesome when Yoshida and his team would visit the gamescom too but that's not the point for me to visit that con.
I just wanna go there to have fun, hang around with friends and look what new on the game market

[Vergil_Renata]

So the fall semester here starts on August 12th. I still want to try to go! :x

[Zerosion]

Me neither, not a word. When I went in 2010, everyone spoke fluent English at the show, in the campsite and at all the heavy metal bars around town.

I'm really tempted to go this year too!

Well I will be there and I have no problem with speaking in english XD
I'll have to talk english the most time anyways because my Emperial Trooper is from australia XD
And anyways the most ppl on the con and in cologne can speak english ^^
Would be awesome to see some ppl from this forum there

This is all cool to hear. I'll take a look at how much it would cost to get from the central USA to Colonge, lodging and then to come back(among other expenses). I'd need to passport too (but I have been meaning to get one of those anyways, I live pretty close to Canada.) Oh and no heavy metal bars. I'm not a drinker haha.

It's gonna be about 1200 for plane, and there are some very cheap hotels in cologne that are still good, about 50 euros a night
