Me? It's all about the gaming. One day I'll probably go with just a T-shirt. The other two days will be my Wii pullover and my old NES controller zip-up. Yeah. YEAH. And of course, there will be a different T-shirt for each day. Assassin's Creed, Guitar Hero 3, Super Mario Bros. 3, MGS4...the possibilities are limitless!

But probably the same pair of sweat pants all three days.

Pull a "Nintendojo" and wear the same shirt all 3 days.

Ugh, gamers, the only group that thinks funny/logo t-shirts are the epitome of high fashion.

I've got enough style in my stare that it really doesn't matter what I'm wearing.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #55 on:** August 27, 2008, 08:59:39 PM »

I will be there Saturday until the evening. Where do we find you?

I'm only going up Saturday. What time you gonna be there? I'm bringing my roommates.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #58 on:** August 28, 2008, 07:43:07 PM »

I will be attending between 10 and 5 most likely. Mostly on the show floor with an occasional conference.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #59 on:** August 29, 2008, 02:16:32 AM »

Alright cool. Umm I'll PM you.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #60 on:** August 29, 2008, 04:46:27 PM »

ShyGuy, where can I find The Conduit? I'm pretty much paying 30 bucks to go try that out

Smakian · « **Reply #61 on:** August 29, 2008, 05:38:35 PM »

I'm there now, have a running twitter feed up at twitter.com/smakian

Jeezus, it's crowded in there. I just came back to my hotel room (it's almost

and I'm freaking SPENT. I saw the Q&A, even asked a question (about Gabe's art) and gave him a present.

If any of you guys want to meet me (I'd sure like to meet you), I'll be attempting to play Castlevania and/or The Conduit tomorrow around noon, maybe a little earlier. Sweatpants, friends, and a green messanger bag. And glasses. And short black hair.

Greetings from PAX! I tried to watch bosshogx in the first round of Omegathon, but an Enforcer kept me out.

I didn't see Castlevania, but I guess let's try to meet around Conduit around noon on Saturday. I'm the half bald guy in the short sleeve dark green shirt, and I will more than likely have a mean look on my face.

Here's how to find Conduit: After ascending the waterfall of escalators, make your way to the Glass bridge. Enter into Exhibition hall and take a left. Keep going left until you hit the Energy drink from the movie Idiocracy. Turn right there and Nintendo is a block away. The Conduit Kiosk is on the top side next to Tales of Symphonia 2. Conduit is great by the way, I'll talk about it more in the Conduit thread.

Okay, I spent the day there. It was really great! Prince of Persia looked pretty good and FarCry's Level editor was crazy amazing!

Smakian · « **Reply #65 on:** August 31, 2008, 03:17:45 AM »

Was it? Crap. I left the panel halfway through the Far Cry bit.

Tomorrow, I'm rushing straight to Fallout 3 at 10:00 when the doors open. The presentation today was awesome, and I need to get my hands on that. Depending on how long that takes, I may try to squeeze in Starcraft II, which I also need to play. At 11:30, I'm off to get in line for the Penny Arcade panel, which is always entertaining. Then straight out of that to the line for the Spore demo, most likely. After that, I'm spending the rest of the day in the expo room...Starcraft II if I didn't make it before, then some other games as time permits. Spore, Sonic Chronicles, Mirror's Edge, Valkyria Chronicles...does THQ have Deadly Creatures? I don't have that information. I believe Hothead is showcasing Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 2, need to check that out. Finally, if there's time I'd really like to have another go at Left 4 Dead. That is hands down my favorite game of the show.

Yeah, I know, I should see more panels. But there are only a few that really interest me, and I can't look up hands on experience with a game later on YouTube.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #66 on:** August 31, 2008, 03:36:26 AM »

Dude you have no idea. That was the most amazing level editor in any game ever, and I never even use level editors.

Am i the only one dissapointed that PAX was hyped as the new E3, yet barely any news has come from it? other then a few interviews and new vids

Smakian · « **Reply #68 on:** August 31, 2008, 10:59:37 AM »

We're still in transition. It might be a year or two before the publishers really start to treat PAX as a media event instead of a fan one. They seem to want to move into doing their own events separately, but that's asinine and hopefully won't last.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #69 on:** August 31, 2008, 11:16:58 AM »

Interestingly enough there was some periphary stuff going on outside PAX. I stayed at the Hilton and they had a conference room marked NCSoft on Friday. There was also an Ultima Online sign up in front of a conference room Friday and Saturday. NEW UO CONFIRMED??

All in all the show felt much more crowded this year and trying demos almost always meant a twenty minute wait commitment.

bosshogx · « **Reply #70 on:** September 02, 2008, 12:50:19 AM »

Hey all, sorry I missed everyone. The Enforcers were instructed to keep everyone out of the PC area so that no one could cheat during the Peggle round. Sucks to be sure. I'm totally worn out from all the flying, but I'll get back to this thread tomorrow.

bosshogx · « **Reply #71 on:** September 07, 2008, 11:10:55 AM »

The PAX experience was awesome. It keeps getting better every year. The highlights included being in the Omegathon, catching the Wil Wheaten panel, and having a conversation with Felicia Day (yes, I have footage of that so it did happen). The only thing that sucked was missing my fellow NWR members and being eliminated in Rock Band.

I've spent the better part of this weekend converting and uploading video of the Omegathon rounds to youtube. If you want to see what you missed, check it out here:

The Jenga and final rounds should hopefully be up by the end of the evening.
