PCM 2011 Video Game Room Donations, please help!
« on: June 28, 2010, 07:33:11 PM »
2010 was a really hard year. Next to no one brought us Televisions and later in the con we ran out of systems. So please, if you're willing to bring a system, a T.V., anything, let us know here! That was I can plan my room ahead of time and get this together quicker and have the room be much cleaner. Thank you!  :ThumbUp:

The only tv I own got burned down a while ago, otherwise I would have brought it.  :ThumbDown: If I ever acquire another one I'll let you know. 

Have you tried contacting rent-a-centers? Or scouring yardsales/Goodwills/etcs? I know you have a budget and prefer donations... but more certainly can't hurt!

Had I known in time I would have brought mine, but finding out when I'm down there is useless. I'm not driving an hour home just to get a TV.

Next year I should be able to supply my little 15 inch HDTV if you need it. Couldn't this year due to lack of car space.

I should be able to bring a 42" LCD TV next year, but no promises.  I'll definitely be able to bring a crap-load of Fighters (including Marvel vs. Capcom 3) again for the Xbox360.

considering enlisting the help of Culture Crew Gaming - a new LAN center in Standish, ME
they have atleast 20 24" tvs with either a 360 or a ps3 stationed at them and 2 50" tvs
they also have 10 computers currently, each with 24" monitors and i know that they are planning on adding another 12 and i believe they have 2 or 4 wiis? can't quite remember
and they have 250 games (possibly more) available for play at the center

i feel awkward that i've been posting about this place in like...every thread
but it's a great place, and i mentioned portcon to them and they thought it sounded really cool.

Hello all, I'm the VG chair next year. I'm going to try to bring whatever monitors I can (but we will need plenty more, so I need people to commit better than I can  :P).

Please also check out http://portconmaine.com/forum/index.php?topic=2894.0 and drop me suggestions for what you'd like to see!

Unfortunately, they aren't allowed to let us borrow anything, as the insurance for their equipment becomes null and void as soon as it leaves their building.  However, they are interested in helping us out.  We could possibly advertise their business in return for funds, or something.  I'll talk to them as time goes on.
