What our fans are saying:

"My first time was in 2007 and one thing that I definitely remember is the lines. They tried something new this year called Get in Line Games. They use a large projection screen to communicate via text with the audience and play games. From voting for videos to watch and trivia to a boggle style game, people can participate with text messaging through their cell phones. It was quite fun. This was good because had I told Thad and Tim that the doors opened at 9am, which was wrong. It was 10am. Sorry guys." – Almost Otaku

"The 2 hour line was made way more bearable by the excellent Get In Line Games. This interactive game kept the queued audience entertained with Lolcats, Random Trivia, and great humour. Not only that but I again met some cool people in line." - refrag

"A line will always be a line, that is to say, it is inherently not what you wanted to do. But it need not be purgatorial, and we experimented with Get in Line Games (a team we met out in Pittsburgh) to smooth it out to the extent it is possible to do so. We received tons of absolutely unsolicited positive feedback, so let's call this progress." - Penny Arcade

"Everyone waiting in line for the concerts and omegathon just got rick rolled. And sang along. Awesome. Lol" - impsy @ Twitter

"We've been in the line for an hour, there are (inflateable) balls everywhere. They're running Tycho-humour screens, it's epic." - teacup @ Twitter
