If anybody has been lucky and went (or is going soon) would they be so kind as to pick up a spare beta key for counterstrike global offensive?

Blitzkrieg said he would get me one already(<3) so if there is more gotten all the better for whatever other boardsies want them! you also get a nice tshirt from them for getting one!
are there a difference console and pc keys for games like this?

5uspect

Big Knox

Actually would love one too if anyone would have a spare left!!

Beta is PC-only, coming out in October. T-shirts are indeed nice. I meant to go back everyday, but yesterday was jammers all day long

KonFusion

Would also love one please

Tar.Aldarion

hope a few people pick em up!

Healium

I might queue once today, and maybe twice tomorrow. If so, I'll give the codes away

Tar.Aldarion

great stuff guys, surprising amount of people at it!

5uspect

Well I live about 20 minutes away...

Tar.Aldarion

and you seem quite excited about it from your location hehe, sweet, free keys for all

Healium

I got two today, and depending how I feel tomorrow, I might queue for one or two more. Who can give me the snazziest TF2 hat for a beta code? I'm kidding, of course.... or am I? One of the CS staff today had a BONK jacket.

Tusky

Would also love one if theres any going!

Sorry, now that I'm stuck in queue I can reply. I liked it but it was on the 360 so the controls weren't ideal. It runs smooth and looks great.

I was worried the enemies would be bullet sponges but the guns are meaty and powerful.

I've got 2(edit) 4 spare codes so far.

So the list is:

1. Tar.Aldarion
2. Big Knox
3. KonFusion
4. Tusky
5. Dohnny Jepp
6. wonderboysam
7. Zapp Brannigan
8. Dcully
9. yawns
10. Creamy Goodness
11. SeantheMan

I have 4 spare and Healium has about 5. That should cover most of ye. Hopefully someone else got a few too.

So I'll send mine out to Tar.Aldarion, Big Knox, KonFusion and Tusky and Healium can sort the rest of you out.

Also some pics attached below
My OH has my 7D away with her this weekend so crappy phone camera ftl.

In other news I think I left my CS:GO t-shirt on the tube.

Tar.Aldarion

woooooo

thanks man! so then we can knock us off the list and healium can move on
have a good time?

5uspect

Yeah it was good fun. I got slaughtered in CS but the the guys from Valve were really friendly and interacted with everyone in the queue. Chet Faliszek was there handing out beta codes and he liked my Portal 2 t-shirt which got me an extra code.

I didn't feel like waiting in a line for hours but it was great to see a lot of the new games up and running. Arkham City looks ****ing amazing. Rage was also impressive. I was worried it would be like Borderlands but the environments feel really alive and dynamic even if everything is brown.

They had a row of Eurogamer games of the year running alone one wall. Ah the memories...

I'll PM the codes to you all later tonight.

Dohnny Jepp

1. Dohnny Jepp
2. wonderboysam
3. Zapp Brannigan

5. yawns
6. Creamy Goodness
7. SeantheMan

This is the rest of the list!

I'm actually somewhat semi-serious about the TF2 hats

(i) Because I bought TF2 about a year ago, and still haven't upgraded from my netbook, so I can't play it. I've been adding random promotional hats to my account since, and I NEED HATS. PS I got an exclusive hat at Eurogamer

(ii) Because if you actually play TF2 quite a bit, you'll likely play the s**t out of the CS beta. I want it to go to people who'll use it, because I have friends who'd love codes, too.

As I said, I have 5 codes. Anyone that can prove they'll play the beta (or sends me a fancy hat) will get put into a draw via random.org I have 5 spare codes right now, but as I said, I have friends who'd love them, so one or two may disappear

Not long. Longest was like 20 minutes. Other days, I had early access, pretty much walked to the front.

Yeah, I was actually really disappointed. Ended up just leaving half-way through my playthrough :pac: Just... didn't enjoy it.

There weren't really any. I think Saint's Row and World Of Tanks were the only ones. Some Saint's pics from Twitter... Cue random awkward nerdy guy...






However, I'll see your booth babes, and raise you some cosplay!

Arkham City WILL be amazing. I didn't get the Asylum fanboy-ism: I thought it was good, but not amazing. However, after playing it and going to the developer session, it's actually going to be amazing.

Jesus, I was walking around with someone today, and he just randomly goes "Oh, there's Chet Falszek!". I got completely starstruck, and talked to him for a few minutes, but I was just in pure shock. That guy is a king amongst men! I had no idea he was there. I got a pic, I'll post it if I get a chance

What is your STEAM name , add me. I've 190 items in my TF2 inventory, so may be able to sort you out :P

Codes have been sent to Tar.Aldarion, Big Knox, KonFusion and Tusky. Maybe I should have also asked for favours... I hear Tar is easy.
