Konmentary: Acen 2013 - No Arcade!?
5Konmentary Episode 4
In this episode I discuss what we know about the plans for a Arcade Game Room at Anime Central 2013... Which is surprisingly very little. I explain a little bit of how everything has been behind the scenes the past couple years and why things have changed and why that can be a bad thing (which likely means no arcade room).
I would like to also point out a few things that are... strange.
- The Video Gaming page on acen.org has not been updated since 2011. There is no email address to even get in contact with the department. There is only a email address for Tabletop gaming.
- The forums for Video Gaming currently has ZERO posts. There isn't even a thread asking for recommendations or current suppliers for arcade/console games.
- Supposedly other arcade/console groups have been in contact with the people in charge of Acen about changes and supplying for the convention, but have heard no confirmation about actually supplying.
Could this be the year without a arcade room? I sure hope not and I am sure everyone else watching hopes it isn't true as well. Don't forget to show your support for the arcade room and convention below, as well as your opinion and whether you would still attend if arcade gaming wasn't included in 2013.
