15.06.09 - More Bags 'o News !
2 weeks - well actually a little bit less - to go and we've got some more updates for you visiting and thinking about visiting people (the latter should transform themselves into the former by the way - you can announce your change of status on the registration page)
Travel Information Update
Here's a timesaver for you The Travel Page... All the train and bus information has already been worked out for you for the last leg of the trip. Either make your way to Genk by train and arrange for a shuttle - use the contact page to do that - or hop on the regional trafic by bus. Alternatively you can also get on a bus in Holland should that be easier/cheaper for you.
Digital Entertainment
Because every party has the obligatory funcorner with the predictable game-setup of a Ninentdo Wii or something oldskoolish like a Super Nintendo or Mega Drive... We had to bring something else for the chill-corner.
And what do we have.. First of all an authentic SNK Candy Cabinet with the ultimate of 2D sprite-art behind the 25" screen and buttons : Metal Slug 5. Next to that we've also got a Cirqus Voltaire pinball machine. After over 70 years of engineering in displays and gamerules and design this is one of Bally's best (and also last) pinball's designed with a 8 multiballs (up to 3 levels deep stackable) and thats not counting those from the wizard-mode.
Sounds too confusing ? Come and have a go - they'll be set to free play, ofcourse...
Compo Machine
We've been getting some questions on the compo machines and altho we do not have the final specs yet, expect pretty close-to-top-of-the-line pro gaming pc's to do some real work now as the compo machines. Yes we will allow both OpenGL and DirectX on Windows XP - if you plan on release something on Windows Vista please inform us up front so we can prepare a Vista image. Ofcourse you'll be able to test your release on the compoboxes during the party so you can do some final checking and tweaking onsite should that be required.
Internet Access
Yes we will have internet access in enough mbit's of bandwith that you do not need to worry on the amount of them. The usual ports will be available and the more than usual will be blocked as well - but unless you are planning to update your HalfLife install you shouldn't be worried about that.
That's all for now - see you at the party...
04.06.09 - Party Beer
In order to give our visitors an even better party feeling, Rewired aims to team up with a local beer brewer to provide you with some brews that are very unlikely to be found anywhere else - The Party Beer.
With a sneak preview already presented at Breakpoint, for 2009 we are co-operating with the nice people from Zonderik tripel 8% alc level, a "Plezierbier" - a description that roughly, but wrongly, translates to "fun beer" - made with barleymalt, caramalt, coriander, cumin, carraway seed, candi sugar, honey and lagered on "heavy toasted oak".
Dutch-speakers can get more information on the Zonderik website, others who still are not convinced can read the reviews on Ratebeer.com.
So up for a taste ? Join us at the party...
31.05.09 - Big Bag 'o Updates
Entrance Fee
We've been getting the question a couple of times from multiple persons. It was clear that the entrance fee from last year, 25 euros, would be the guideline for the 2009 edition but - thanks to some sponsorship that will be anounced later - the price wil actually drop to 20 euro for a weekend of party'ing. A low 3-day ticket price does however lead to the cancelation of day-tickets.
Day Tickets
With the entrace fee dropping form 25 to 20 euro for the weekend, we will not have any day tickets.
Showers
While we could not make them "public" last year due to an agreemant with the hall owner, this year the showers WILL be available to visitors at set times that will be anounced on the bigscreen. So YES, there are showers and YES you can use them at set times.
Barbeque Of Death (Animals)
Pending nice weather - and if not we still have a roofed corner of the outside area to organize things - we will again have the Rewired Barbeque Of Death on saturday afternoon. You provide the stuff to throw on it, we will provide the metal and the heat to do your cooking. For vegetarians we will throw together a Barbeque Of Death (Mushrooms & Bell Peppers), not to worry...
Early Entrance ?
Can you get early entrance to the party place ? In general, no, the organizers only have access themselves on thursday evening and we really need the time to set up all the party features you kind of expect. So please try to stick to the earliest arrival time of friday afternoon.
Alternate Foodwaves
The comments concerning the foodwaves of last year have been taking into account and we have/are reworked/reworking the foodwave system. Yes there will still be foodwaves but in smaller numbers but in a bigger variety of munchables
Party Beer ?
Ah, the topic you thought we would never get to... Yes we will have a party beer and yes it will be another exclusive. Once the deal with the brewer/vendor has been finalized there will be a proper anouncement but if you have visited the organizers last Breakpoint you will know what to expect. It's not Primula, its something quite different...
Other Funstuff ?
Well, with some luck - and if budget allows it at the end when we have payed for the hall, beamer, bigscreen, audio setup, tables, chairs, network, garbage bags, toilet paper, electricity, water, organizer drinks and other unimportant things such as those mentioned here we could have a couple of boxes with 8bit cpu's and balls of steel...
Thats it ?
For now, so register...
