Funny, from reading their tweet, O'Sheas is nowhere near the Luxor, it's next to Imperial Palace. I hope they announce where exactly "south of the city" is.

I'm under the distinct impression they're using a technique known as "winging it." 

Ah, yes "winging it".

I know that technique. More difficult than it looks.

Winging it is an art...and I am a master.

But anyway, update...apparently they're going to be launching south of the city, but they're doing preparations still in the city proper.

Me and my friends were the fourth to arrive yesterday at that wilderness. it took 13 of us + 3 Bioware employees about 2 hours to locate the general locations. then we treckd off on this dirt road for about a mile in little sports cars. then we located the van of the recovery team so we waited for about 5 hours for them to show up. when they did they hadnt gotten the balloon so they handed out some swag and called it. it was fun hanging out with Bioware and the fellow dedicated fans though, we went and bought a bunch of food, and just hung out, threw a football around, tried to get sacred info out of bioware employee..he wouldnt budge =[ but it was definately a awesome experience. Made me realize that Mass Effect isnt just a game, its not just about the shooting, or the story..Bioware has created a whole universe in which you just want to get sucked in. It was awesome to meet such enthusiastic fellow Mass Effect junkies. Anyways hte Bioware employee had alot of **** to put up with including all these kids showing up way late (4 o clock when the originals were there at 9 am) to be all "okay wheres my free game?!" so kudos to that guy who i will not name. It was a little unorthodox but definately worth it. Go Bioware.

Very cool story. Thank you.

hey, best of luck, team Northern Arizona. If any of you are from Flag, all the much more luck to you. Hell, I thought they would have launched within half an hour of when they said. If I knew they were going to stall this much, I would have left earlier. I'd be in Vegas right now easily at this point.

BioWare better think about the New York launch, winds are going to be around 30 mph, with gusts as high as 55!

I'm gonna be one of those kids that shows up 4 hours late... XD But my roommate went out ahead of me, so he should be there at the right time. I've got an exam I can't justify missing, so I will follow him up. He's gonna try to win the game anyway, not me, so I'm just gonna be there in a support capacity.

We're out of Prescott, and have been on the move since 7 this morning, so hopefully we'll be able to head it off whichever way it goes.

So, is this the second launch they're working on? Or, still the first?

Still the first...and as of the last tweet, they're still at the staging ground. 

This'll be fun. XD

Just left Luxor to hear you guys say they left..? Where are they now?

Nope, they're still at the same place where they were staging. I'd say stay put until it's announced they're on the move.

[rapscallioness]

I have no idea where the stagiong ground is. Last I heard they were moving around cuz of the winds....and the FAA

[Good Chaos7]

Oh god.. Why couldn't they just hand them out like they said they were?!

Wait so you have still not found the games after nearly 24 hours, perhaps the bunnies ate them, curse you bunnies. *fist shake* and how the hell are those transmitters still working and showing us the game going all over the place

Finally how long till the LA start?

And miss out on all this High-larity?

Is the Luxor far from Excalibur?

[Dansayshi]

Lol, I can see somebody getting hurt trying to recover one of these things.

If the London 1 drops into the thames, I can easily imagine somebody diving in after it.

Well, games were "found", but apparently inaccessible.

From my understanding, they're still staging for first Vegas launch.

[DANI5H87]

I'm heading to the Bullhead city are from Tucson as soon as any info is given. Hopefully these things catch the jet stream and float a little further our way!

They're right next door to each other...there's an indoor walkway and everything. XD

I would actually say it would be best to head south and camp out at a Starbucks with free wifi or something.

"SF recovery update: We have visual contact with one balloon, but it's 150 ft up a tree. There are about 10 #ME3 fans out here."

By looking at their tweet about the "staging ground" they're still on top of O'Sheas, according to the google map location of the tweet.
