Eurogamer Expo is the closest thing to E3 you will experience in the UK. The event is from the 1st to the 3rd of October, and will be at Earls Court in London. This is the ultimate venue for a Zetzio meet-up where we will be surrounded by one of our favourite pastimes; video games.

I urge everyone, even the non-Londoners, to attend this expo because it will be big, it will be relevant and it will be full of the latest and greatest games (plus other nerd things) that are out or coming out soon. We will still be doing things like the Warhammer World meet-ups and so on, but I think the Eurogamer Expo should be the default meet-up venue for Zetzio each year, as I imagine anyone who's a regular here is well up for meeting up at a video game mecca and geeking out as a group.

So please, make arrangements, get your motherfuckin tickets before they sell out, try and attend all three days and let's make a god damn day (or three) of it. Obviously, check out the expo's website for all the information you need and if you're planning to book a hotel room for a few nights, check if anyone else is also doing this so that you can save some cash by sharing a room.

FUCK YEAH!

So, who's coming?

Mustafa on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
Michael on Saturday and maybe Sunday
Jamie on Saturday

Very unlikely I'll be able to afford lodgings, so it's unlikely that I'll be able to make it. With any luck I'll be able to though.

You must find a way, I'd let you guys sleep over at my place but we're re-decorating the whole house at the moment. I believe Jamie said he could sleep over at Michael's since Mike didn't mind. Keep in mind that you just need lodging in London, not next to Earls Court, so you could find a really cheap place, and just take the underground to Earls Court which is like 15 minutes travel time.

Just booked tickets for Saturday. Not got time to stay the whole weekend and attend the whole thing :(

See you guys on Saturday though, hopefully!

Oh yes, Eurogamer exclusive guys, you get to meet Dan and get his autograph.

Seriously though folks, the Saturday tickets are running out because it's obviously the most popular day. When you have a moment, actually sit down and think hard about whether or not you can make it, because you need to get your tickets soon as this event is basically a month away.

Those of you who've been to the MCM Expo, this is basically like that but ten times more epic and all about vidyagaemz.

It's probably just worth grabbing a Saturday ticket anyway. They're only £8, and if they're in such high demand, reselling them if you can't make it shouldn't be a problem.

Took Dans advice and got a Saturday ticket, regardless of whether I can go or not. £8 ain't much to lose if I don't go.

I think I'll be getting a National Express Coach down to Victoria Station, which, if my geography is correct, is only 3 or 4 tube stops from Earls Court. There's one that arrives at 10:45 AM, and another that arrives at 09:20 AM. I'm not sure which to get, as I don't know what time you guys are heading down, considering the Expo opens at 11.

And depending on whether I can stay at Michaels or not on the Saturday night, I might get a Sunday ticket and head home after the Expo on the Sunday night, as the coaches run from Vic Station back to Shots untill 11:30 PM. Anyone know what time the expo closes down on the Sunday?

There is a coach direct to Earls Court, but screw that as it takes about 6 hours because of a stop off at Heathrow.

I will be taking the day off so I will be there at 10 before the expo opens hopefully. BTW Jamie, if you've not got your PC by then, do you want me to lend you my Netbook that just sits there gathering dust nowadays? It works perfectly fine, so if you like I can wipe it clean (the memory, not the cum stains) and you can send it back to me whenever you're done.

My train arrives at London Waterloo at 08:49, so I should be outside the expo by 09:15 or so.

I'll get the earlier coach in that case and hook up with you guys earlier.

Yeah, can do Mus, just make sure you don't leave anything on there that will get me arrested.

It takes me about 30mins to walk to Earls court from my house so I will try and buy a ticket for one of the days when I get home today. That week is the first week of uni but as the tickets arnt much will just get one anyway even if it turns out I cant make it.

Well in that case do what Jamie did and buy a Saturday ticket first, and if you can make the other days too then buy those later this month.

EA just announced that they'll be in full force at this one, which means medal of honour, dead space 2.... And a FIFA 11 booth. I bought all 3 day tickets. I'm going go camp at the FIFA tent and rape everyone.

Saturday tickets are sold out, Friday and Sunday are marked as 'running out'.

Funny thing is one of my customers asked me if I was attending EuroGamer Expo last week. He said his girlfriend works there and gave him free tickets but he'll be on holiday at the time so he was going to give them to me, but I told him I already bought my online. I should've taken them anyway, could've given it to someone else.

Bought my coach ticket today, only going to attend the Saturday. I'll probably need one of the London guys to meet me at Victoria Station, because I won't have a clue using the tube.

Tube is super easy man, and this is coming from someone who gets lost on the same routes to work most days. Just ask them how to get to the venue at the underground station and they will tell you the routes, it's pretty straight forward. If you're positive you can't handle it then I will try and pick you up from the station or if I'm working then Michael might be able to meet you. :]

Ah crap, if I can figure out how to wipe it before the expo then yeah, forgot about that.

Btw i'm starting to get fucking excited for this. Out of all the games that will apparently be playable on the gameshow floor - these are the ones tha tare absolute MUSTS for me -

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Ubisoft)
Brink (Bethesda)
Crysis 2 (EA) 18
Dead Space 2 (EA) 18
Dragon Age II (EA) 18
Fable 3 (Microsoft)
Fallout: New Vegas (Bethesda) 18
Gears of War 3 (Microsoft) 18
Heavy Rain Move Edition (Sony) Playstation Move
Hunted: The Demon's Forge (Bethesda) 18
inFAMOUS 2 (Sony)
Killzone 3 (Sony) In 3D 18

I love the fact that they'll restrict people by age in most of the ones i want to see. No more fucking kids to hang around when i go to these things. Can't wait.

Oh and also, i may as well let you guys know now , that where it says ' CHALLENGE ZONE ' will contain FIFA 11 - .. expect me to spend most of the day doing that, whatever it is. I am determined to destroy people on that as long as i get good at the game by then.

I also want to add that i don't plan on going to any developer sessions or news conferences or any of that shit. Time is money and there are games to be played and fun to be had - not time to be wasted listening to something that you can go on the internet the next day and find out about or listen to via a podcast or some shit. C'mon niggers

I'm getting to London for about 09:20, I'll still probably need one of you to meet me.

Yeah, cant have Jamie walking around London alone or he'll get shanked pretty quick.
But i doubt i'll be able to get there that early - i probably wont be asleep till 2-3am from going to a pier party on friday night. I'd like to think i could get a train at 10 and be at London Victoria at around 10.45... how far is that from Earls Court? And jamie what station you going to be at? Victoria?

Yeah I'm at Vic station. I think it's 4 tube stops from Earls Court, but I don't trust myself using the tube on my own
