WyrdCon Game Sprays
Do you play Half-life 2 Deathmatch. Left4dead, Left4dead2, Team Fortress 2 or other Source Steam games that use game sprays? Here is the official WyrdCon game spray.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1793415/twowyrd.vtf

To use in source games install the file to these locations

* Steamsteamappsusername> eam fortress 2 fmaterialsVGUIlogos
* Steamsteamappsusername> eam fortress 2 fmaterialsVGUIlogosUI

This can be done in most any source games. Your going to need to change the path to fit the game your installing these to.

username> is typically the name you personally use to log into steam.

After installing the twowryd.vtf file to these locations go in the game you wish to use the spray and go into “options” then “multiplayer”

from here there is a button to import sprays. import the file from the “logos” folder NOT the “ui” folder

With the submission of a Star Wars LARP we can say with certainty that these are the events you are looking for.

We’re curious what people want to see this coming year. Something different?

Designers want to know what people want to try. Perhaps a game in which everyone is the bad guy trying to defeat the good guys?

Were there some tried and true favorites that we should invite back a second time?

LARP Jeopardy

Similar to the normal Jeopardy, only with LARP based questions.

Of course we have a few changes…

1) There will be three teams, each with 3-4 players each.

2) We will be providing each team BEER during the event. Each bottle emptied during the game earns you another 100 points.

3) The winning team recieves free passes to next years Wyrd Con and all the beer that was not consumed during the game.

But to put on this show WE NEED YOUR QUESTIONS! Simply click the Contact Us link and submit your ideas!

If you want to sign up a team (the teams that go up are chosen randomly) all you have to do is submit a contact form with a team name. Your team must be there if called or you forfeit.

Minion Points
Yes there is a way to get a badge, room, or other items comp’d for the convention. We call it minion points. If you start now you could have some crash space for free when the convention rolls around. What do you think of the points scale we have listed? Can you think of other things we can reward for?
