    Elektra57 reacted to fedman85 in How to get started   
    Hey Linus tech tip crew, my screen name is fedman85, I got shot and lost my left arm in 2006( short version). I've been gaming since a kid, so I couldn't give up my love for playing pc and console games. I picked up a snes a year later and started trying to figure out how to play with normal controllers( with no mods). Fast forward 13 years and now I've beat some of the hardest games on, PS3,PS4,Xbox and pc. I know that the skills I have learned could help so many people still play games that have physical limitations. I would love to hear from you guys with ideas on how to get started. I have a decent pc( hp built Intel i5, gtx 1060, and 8gbs of ram),a capture box and a PS4 pro... Let me know what you guys think

    I think what OP is trying to say is that he wants to spend the night at the convention instead of getting a hotel as well as watch the dreamhack event. There are Hostels within walking distance that are super affordable.

    Can't speak for everyone else here, but my diet and exercise regime could use a real kick into gear. Who doesn't want to feel their best meeting tons of new people? On top of that we'll be walking around for hours and then crushing it all night in the convention center. Being in prime physical condition couldn't hurt. 
     
    So I'm issuing a challenge to all the LTX Convention Goers who want to get into shape: we have 149 days until the convention, that's a good chunk of time to shed some extra pounds or build some healthy new habits. 
     
    Whatever your goal, as long as it contributes towards being healthier/fitter, it slots here. Whatever that means for you. I'm shooting to lose 40lbs before the convention and start cooking more and eating out less (I'm hoping my 2XL expo shirt doesn't fit at all). 
     
    If you're in, describe your goal and commit to posting at least once a week to track your progress and report in with the team here. If there's enough interest, I'll start cobbling together some google sheets to track our progress as a group week by week. 
     
    Only commit if you're willing to really "go for it." Like, unironically wearing socks and sandals "go for it."
     
    Best of luck to everyone, super amped for LTX 2019!

    It's about 40 minutes from the venue with traffic but if you're doing a tour it's close to LMG HQ. We're also staying from the 24th to the 29th so it seemed like a better base of operations to explore the vancouver and surrounding area.

    Yeah, I went the crazy route and got 4 nights in the holiday inn downtown. Hotels are expensive but I'm traveling alone for the first time I feel safer with a regulated hotel and I wanted to be downtown. It helped that I was able to save about $600 on it with their IHG point credit card program but it still was $1,000. It's more than my rent for a month but this is also a once in a lifetime sort of trip for me so I decided I don't want a shared bathroom.

    4 of us went for an AirBNB about a 20 minute drive from the venue. $230 altogether for 2 nights for a 1 bedroom.

    Truth. Which, frankly, is one of the reasons I have no intention of going.
    Don't worry, you'll live like a king with the $50 USD you have tucked in your wallet
    Would you like your tea in the morning before or after breakfast, sir?
    They're all relatively close to the convention center. Just get a place close to the skytrain line and train in. The center is maybe a 5 minute walk from Waterfront station.

    I have a party of three and ended up going with an AirBnB that is about a 10 minute drive away.  The cost was right at $100 per night.  That was far cheaper than the hotels near the convention center which all showed $400 to $600 per night when I looked.

    So hotels and Airbnb are starting to go up in price as people are reserving. I went the Hostel route and picked up 4 nights for about $260 total and that was renting a whole twin room to myself. They have triple and quads too. I got lucky to get a Hostel that's 5-10 min walk to the con center. Check out hostels.com that's where I booked mine. Make sure to check rules before booking some hostels have underage restrictions

    What would be awesome since this is gonna be a "Big" year for LTX would be to have the employees & friends of LMG & Floatplane do a roast of Linus & Luke on stage. (I just watch Linus reads mean comments and that was gold and where this idea came from)

    you're going to want something light, possibly a gimble to stabilize your imagery at least i think they're called that. then you'll need some spare batteries and cards while you're out and about, other than that any cam that records in high quality will be your end goal.

    Ahhh good good, just making sure you weren't just going to try n come across the border only to be turned back ? That'd suck.
    I suggest an AirBNB ? There are quite a few decently priced ones in Richmond and Burnaby.
