    Quoted from MrBally:

    Aboot to cancel my hotel reservation.
    I heard the new show management is restricting seminar participants. Sounds like censorship to me.

    You can’t just drop that in here without details, what do you know?

    Is parking a nightmare for those not staying on property?

    The question is: what is the primary goal of the show?

    Quoted from Dmod:

    During a quick call with Rob Berk yesterday, he mentioned he was spending a small fortune on local advertising. Sounds like he is taking a page from other shows and trying to draw in a wider attendance this year.

    Good thing the owners of the free play games are being “compensated.”

    Quoted from LTG:

    My censored mug tease is to hide a bad word.
    Nothing to do with JJP before or after.
    LTG : )

    I thought it might be a little rip at Zen Studios for censoring some of the animations on the B/W games.

    Quoted from C_kubie:

    Expo was great. This year was huge for expo.
    There were so many great games this year and the vendor hall was packed this year.
    Will be asking Santa for a bubble hockey for Christmas as my son and I played an easy 10 games on it. It was awesome. I told everyone to give it a try. Awesome game.
    My only complaint was the St. Louis Ball Bowler company wouldn't let my son play the ball bowler. If the high score is 255 for your tournament which is about 10 strikes, the $10 entry fee seems a bit much to pay for a casual play. My son asked the vendor to try the ball bowler which he never saw before that day. A nice guy would offer my kid a single throw to make a kid happy. Instead my son was turned away and left pouting because there was a "tournament" (even though I only saw the vendors playing it all night).

    You do that for one kid, you do it for all of them. Pay the $10 or don't. Not everything has to be free play.
