Tulsa - Tokyo in Tulsa - July 10-12, 2009
« on: May 12, 2009, 05:19:49 pm »
Tokyo In Tulsa is a convention happening in Downtown Tulsa at the Double Tree hotel that is centered around Japanese Anime and Culture. We are also highlighting gaming (both video and tabletop), web comics, writers, and popular culture. Anime Fan everywhere and of every persuasion will find something to do and be excited about! Tokyo In Tulsa is about coming together, having fun and celebrating our common interests.


616 W. Seventh Street
Tulsa, OK 74127-8983
(918) 587-8000

You can find the map to the DoubleTree here.  http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=616+W.+Seventh+Street,+Tulsa&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=34.313287,79.101563&ie=UTF8&ll=36.14841,-95.995831&spn=0.017084,0.038624&z=15


The games that we will have tournaments for now are as follows:

  
Street Fighter IV
Soul Calibur IV
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Guitar Hero 3
Rock Band

 
The BYOS (Bring your own setup) tournaments can be anything but not excluding:

Halo 3
Call of Duty 4
Gears of War 2
DDR
Naruto
Bleach

Keep in mind, with the BYOC setup, there is also 'no excuse' for us not having your favorite game!  If you have the interest, we've got dedicated space for you!


All you FPS gamers, please be aware that FPS event's require lots of hardware (TV's, Consoles, Controllers...) and right now we are lacking. (unless you just want to play one on one) Since not everyone plays FPS games we can't fully create the necessary setups to support a full tournament. Last year we had a staff member who stepped up to coordinate hardware efforts** for GoW 2. So far, no one has done this, thus FPS games have been sorely neglected, and remain in BYO status.

** A "Hardware coordinator" is someone who has helped taken care of the logistics of event hardware for at least their game. This mostly includes finding enough gamers with the hardware to make an event run, and working with them to make sure it shows up at the event!!!

(Keep in mind - OKgamers is a site to network gamers and let us know when things happen.  We have a volunteer staff that help at events like this simply to help get the word out about the site.  We only own what we personally have, thus the 'byo' mentality.)


So with all this in mind, we hope to see you guys there!

Update!!!!!

The days and times for the tournaments are now here and all BYOC games ae subject to canceling if there are not at least 8 people signed up for them by the time they are supposed to start and if there is not any hardware for the game.

DBZ Burst Limit at 5pm

Game Room closes at 9pm

Guitar Hero 3?! Finally, somebody is gonna make a tournament for that.  I want to come, but I'll have to ask my parents first.  I'm 14. :(  But I would love to come.  :)

I hope there is a halo 3 setup at this.  Didnt get to go last year due to a health condition.  Hopefully this year, it will go down.

BYO - BRING YOUR OWN

So, you can technically bring whatever you want.

And just about any event OKgamers is organizing is going to encoruage / require you to bring your own controller, as it's standard tourny affair.

But I have to know what system they're using.  It it's a PS3, then I can bring my own guitar.  But if it's an Xbox 360, then I can't bring anything.  I have to know so I don't just bring my own GHWT guitar for no reason.

The tournament will need to be ran on at least 2 consoles. I know I can get a Xbox version but if you have the game and the necessary ghwt equipment then we have it all covered. So to keep it simple if you have something you can use bring it. What's the worst that could happen, you carry it on your back like a fooly cooly character.

I was thinking about bringing equipment up there for halo 3 or gears but it would set my company back more then help us make money. I'm going to consider coming up there though.

On the bringing your own thing, does a wireless Xbox 360 guitar work on other systems, or only the system the person uses it on frequently?

I honestly wouldn't know, as I'm new to the whole 360 thing anyway. :)

Fury.  IINTeresting.  Okay, well it's been reported.

I hope there is a halo 3 setup at this.  Didnt get to go last year due to a health condition.  Hopefully this year, it will go down.

Depending on how many setups you can bring, I may be able to help out with that.  PM me with numbers, etc.
