BF takes precedence, but if you get a chance you should drop in.
I'm planning on kicking off the festivities at approximately 8p.m. CST. I may play a few ranked games prior to that (I'm not too happy with my rank of '2'), but anyone is more then welcome to join me during those also.

I just started browsing through the stats stuff this afternoon for the first time. At first I was moderately impressed by the level of info you could get. Then I noticed the little tabs at the top.
I just about rolled out of my chair as I scanned through stat after stat. Who killed me most, who I killed most, head shots, number of rounds fired, number of rounds connected. Then there is each and every person I killed and the number of times I killed them, followed by each and every person that killed me and how many times (drastically smaller for some reason... ).
Then the part that almost made me sick. The 'Game Viewer'...
HOLY CRAP! Each and every kill mapped out on an overview of the level. With multiple angles of the map just to be sure you can really see who got killed where... Man, that's beautiful.

Yes, this way EVERYONE can see exactly how bad you are and where exactly you messed up. Oh, I love it.

ARG-O-Fest Hey, everyone...
I just was browsing the Unfiction Forums in general, and down near the bottom in a Meta-type section (i.e. NOT in the Haunted Apiary sections) there's a thread under "Various & Sundry" with a poll for where the next ARG-o-Fest will be.
Chicago is one of the options, a mere 8 votes behind New York. I think we might have the numbers to swing it our way -- Chicago is nice and central, fairly easy to navigate for non-Chicagoans, and I'd love the chance to see you all again, so go vote already.

Thanks for finding this, Phaedra. That thread is here:
ArgFest-O-Con Poll
At the end of the thread, I proposed that we redo the poll (again!) using a Condorcet method, so we can pick a destination by everyone's overall preference.

God, you guys make me want to go buy 250 dollars worth of Xbox equipment.
That is what I did. Well, I won't get up to the $250 mark until I buy an XBL annual subscription, but that's about right. There's no way I would have bought any Xbox equipment before the ILB game.
BTW, on the day after Thanksgiving, Target will have the XBox holiday bundle plus Crimson Sky (that's 3 free games) for $150. If you're planning to buy anyway, get in line for that one.

My XBox just arrived at home. I already have a network cable I can string to it, but I don't know how long it takes to formally signup for XBox Live.
When times does training begin?
(Doh!)

It should take about 10 to 15 minutes to sign up. It's a relatively quick process. Only takes time due to the fact that you have to 'type' using your pad instead of a keyboard.

Gamertag Ive posted a few times and loved the whole thing. For those that went ot the Chicago training (I had a performance that night so I couldnt tag along ) I am good freinds with Klobbermeister and we've been gaming on live. My personal tag is Exeter Prime, Id love to game with any of the ILB crew and especially the Goddess Squad...
Feel free to look me up and please include ILB in a text message or a voice tag including ILB on the mesage. Im not too hip on complete strangers. But being through the last four weeks of the ARG, I feel a certain kinship with you guys. Hope to see you online!

Well, that's sweet. We really should do a Chicago get-together/lan party or something.
We'll look for you online!

Give me a couple months and I'd be willing to drive up again...

Hmm. Speaking of which, did everyone vote for the ARG-o-Fest?
