Did I mention that Mike Brandt from the NOVA Open joined us at the event?

Currently listening. I'm SO mad I couldn't attend. Work intruded into my game life, yet again.

I hate when that 'real life' gets in the way of games played. How do you think I felt!

Great podcast. Thanks.

Huh, I thought those were sent over to you. I will look into it and see if I can get all of the lists.

Thanks for bringing that up.

I just checked, I got the top 8 from Niel, but Roy didn't get me the full lists.

Would love to see a mission control scenario of the X-Wing Hunger games. Sounds like a really fun event for an X-Wing night for a change of pace, or at Worlds during the downtime.

Nova was awesome!

Great podcat, gentlemen! I, too, had a great time at the Nova Championship on Saturday. As far as mission control goes, Neil mentioned that I have some plans in progress, can't wait to launch!

At one point I was thinking our Evil Eddie might cry... a little.

:P

Keep the show going... for the decade or so, at least!

I can be honest and say I really wanted to go to NOVA and was upset that I couldn't go. However, that real life thing does get in the way of great gaming and when you have a family with four children, budgeting is everything. I simply was not prepared to go to a big con this year.

Next year however... my plans are to go to Nationals AND NOVA!
