Going on Saturday. If it's anything like last year, I'll end up hovering and playing around the Dota 2 area.

I'm going on the Thursday, figure it would be the quietest day of the 4 being in the week still.
Will be heading straight for anything VR related.

Don't know if you realize, but you need to book appointments online to try out the official Vive and PlaystationVR demonstrations. Oculus will be first-come, first-serve.
I'm sure there'll be a smattering of VR stuff outside the official booths, but just wanted to warn you so you can sign up now if you're interested in those(which you should be!).
Bit disappointed this show isn't in London anymore. Cant really justify traveling there for the grueling, queue-fest that is EGX.
Haha. I don't regret going last year, and I'd like to go again for a day, but it's not something I'd go way out of my way for. It's pretty brutal unless you just stick with the less popular booths.I went to the last one, nearly ruined my Birthday! Never again
Thanks for mentioning this. I'm going on the Saturday and hadn't realised you had to book an appointment for the Vive.

You're so emotional, aren't you?
Every EGX is a queue fest sadly and I expect nothing less with this one. I'm going just to get a break from London. I'll reach my hotel near the NEC on Friday afternoon and may attend then otherwise it'll be Saturday for the most part.
There seems to be a very good showing from Sony this year, followed by Ubisoft and EA judging by the list of titles on the EGX android app.

I'm hoping it keeps me entertained for 4 days, I'm really not interested in queueing for the majority to play 20 minutes of a game. Hoping the early bird lives up to what I paid for!
If you're not with friends, I definitely recommend bringing either a handheld game or a reading device to catch up on a book.
You're going to spend a vast amount of time waiting in lines.

Yep, There tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to it, have never been to this sort of thing before.

I'm also very aggressive, so yes
I'll probably be doing the same.
Going with two friends but they have early-bird and wanna check out all the VR stuff. I'm not that fussed really but have a feeling i'll be on my own checking out all the dota stuff, as they have little to no interest in it

Ended up winning a couple of Black Ops 3 t-shirts... Game is too easy! (Winning team won a t-shirt) and a couple of hitman/deus ex posters. Looking forward to the next three days! Anyone around, wouldn't mind meeting a few overclockers!
I believe you believe you are
thursday though
Always been on a Thursday and its been way busier compared to yesterday.
Friday is here, on the way there at some point today. Just need to wake up lol.
EGX was absolutely quality. Not going tomorrow due to my train time but done 3 days in a row and saw everything. There is absolutely tonnes of stuff to see and meeting people who have similar interests (basically networking) is also paramount. One of OcUKs major competitors has a huge stall there with multiple games to play which I felt OcUK probably should have spent a bit of cash and turned up if I'm honest. The place was absolutely rimmed and the big titles had some serious queues today of 3 hours plus for the division but otherwise you could pretty much do and see whatever you wanted to. Definitely coming back to it next year!
