sarahjng Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Has anyone been to any of these events ? Is anyone going ? My son has got his ticket for telford and he's quite happy to be doing his first totally solo weekend away, I'm his mum and I'm allowed to worry ( as long as I don't tell him !) Have been on the website and read all the blurbs, but it would be nice to hear from a real person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahjng Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Seriously, not one gamer ? I wonder if it's an age thing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterchillz Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'm a gamer! I'm not living in the UK though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Sarah, I've never even HEARD of it but I bet if I asked my 2 boys, I'd get the full history! Sorry But as a Mum, it is written in your parental contract that you have to worry about them whether they like it or not! How old is your son?

sarahjng Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 He's 18, over 6ft and built like brick outhouse, and he's still my little boy ! I'd never heard of it till he asked if he could go, (guess I should be glad he asked not told lol) it's in telford so we get to haul his desktop and 30inch monitor up there that will be fun (as well as his tent/sleeping bag/clothes/junk) apparently it's one of the biggest tournaments for team fortress 2, halo all sorts. Your boys not mentioned it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 no - my lads are 22 & 24 but still major gamers but I've never heard of this - I guess it's been going for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahjng Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 About ten or twelve years I think, they even have cash prizes for some of the tournaments I think halo prize is like 3 grand, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahjng Posted June 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Gamers are placid ? not sure about that, lol. we've had six, all in my son's room, all gaming together, from the language you would have thought it was west ham millwall for the cup, I will say there was no violence but I did learn a few new words !
