I hope you're amazing at 8-bit gaming and rock band.
LOL. So true. I would never want to devote so much of my time in the Omegathon when I could be roaming the show floor and watching conferences.

thanks for the heads up, I better get on that after I get paid (....)
I and some others submitted for a panel (free pass!) but it just got rejected (no pass!) Shame too because I figured it would be pretty useful (how-to marketing for indies), but I guess it helps if you have better visibility in the scene to begin with, if you wanna get one of those accepted.

Schedule up: http://east.paxsite.com/schedule.php
Not sure if I feel like doing an OT like the last few PAX, does anyone want it? I can whip one up this afternoon, but if someone feels like taking over, here were the old ones:
Prime 2011 - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=29789913
East 2011 - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=421589

Gaf meet up sounds good

If we do a meetup, and it has to be on Saturday, can we do it somewhere that isn't in the con? I don't have a Saturday badge

Considering it’s scheduled for an E3 “re-reveal” this year, I say not a chance. Unfortunately since PAX East falls just a couple months before E3, nothing really huge is ever shown or revealed. Best we might get is Prototype 2, Starhawk, Dragon’s Dogma, and Max Payne 3. Would love some Borderlands 2 action as well.
Given that it looks like (based on the schedule) that Bioware is going to have a large presence, I'm also guessing Dragon Age 3 will be there (if it's announced by then). Possibly in a playable form? One can hope.

The Prime meetup was at a bar steps away from the con. Given the location we have this time, might be more difficult to arrange. I vaguely remember the location, but do we have locals that can suggest better place?
If we do it, I promise to rage over something else that isn't Ridge Racer this time.
dave is ok
aztek is ok

Meet up would have to be at a hotel bar or maybe Remy's

How about the Legal Test Kitchen? Is that still there?
That's definitely my list of things to try this year.
While I've only started posting more recently, I'm hosting the Nintendo World Report Connectivity Jeopardy Live! panel, which is...up against the keynote.
Still, we're looking to get some people as contestants before the show (so we can hit the ground running without any dead time recruiting people for the first round). If any Gaffers think they know their Nintendo stuff, let me know.

Considering a Saturday badge, can catch an early Amtrak from NYC for $50 roundtrip and then return that same night. Would be less than $100... wondering if it's worth it, I've never been to any sort of game convention - I would be by myself is the thing.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Yeah, thats still there and the food is amazing.
The only problem is that its kind of small. I ate there with a party of ten or twelve or so last year and it was pretty cramped.
I figured this would serve as a pseudo-OT for PAX East 2012 but if people think a new, official OT thread is necessary I don't mind doing it.
The schedule is looking pretty awesome this year though!
Does GB throw some epic parties or something? I missed out on this last year.

They had a meet-up at a local bar (Kitty O'Sheas, maybe? I can't remember... visited a lot of bars that weekend, haha) that was an absolute blast. The entire GB crew was there, completely welcoming and free to talk to even with the place being packed. Vinny is an amazing human being in person, as well.
That was on a Saturday night, the Bombcast was on a Friday night last year. But I'm assuming they'll stick to another Saturday night if they schedule another meet-up.

Myself and BuddyC (our Community Manager) both did the meetup at PAX Prime. It was fun!
We also have our panel for the first time at PAX East!
Inside Gearbox Software
Manticore Theatre
Sunday 4:30pm - 5:30pm
Gearbox Software is at PAX East with our panel! If youve made it to our PAX Prime panels, you will know not to miss this one! Get a behind the scenes look at the Gearbox Software lineup including: Borderlands 2, Aliens: Colonial Marines and other great Gearbox Software franchises. And what is a Gearbox panel without never before seen reveals, huge exclusives, massive surprises, and of course FREE PIZZA!

I'm so there.
I mean.. it's not TOO far from a T stop/North End. I walk that distance all the time. Northeastern to the Pru is about the same distance as the convention center to South Station.
I'm probably down. As it currently stands I'm totally by myself Thursday all day (My crew doesn't come in until Friday afternoon)
Was the GAF meeting last year Pre-PAX/Post-PAX/During PAX??

Oh shit I was going to leave Sunday morning. =(
I am NOT missing the Gearbox panel this year. I was literally IN LINE for it at PAX Prime, then got discouraged by the size of the line and how far back I was and left, and then, well... you know what happened.
Borderlands 2 is my most anticipated title of the year, so I ain't missing this one.
My one piece of advice to you guys, though: Don't make the mistake you made at Prime. Give out the pizza to people while they're in line or once they're inside and seated. The whole process of having the line pass by the pizza and grab slices and then sit down caused way too much of a delay.

Saturday pass bought. Can't wait Still don't know if I'm going solo or not lol. Train is my second option.
Edit: It's right down the street from south station so that makes me even more happy!!!

He's a recently-approved Junior, but well known within HaloGAF.
I am so there. The Gearbox panel back at Prime was hilarious and awesome. It was the only non-HaloFest panel I attended and was well worth the wait.

We probably will have to do it this way as we want to ensure people get an opportunity to grab food if they can prior to getting in. I think our panel is the only one in this room for a few hours so we won't have to compete with another group prior which only allows us to get a 15 mins of setup.. So hopefully it won't be as crazy

Is Chinner going to PAX East? Zelda Williams is listed as a panelist...

jstevenson is one of the panelist.
@Duncan I see the Gearbox Panel is already on your list. Let's go together!
So then we have (Organized by when they're happening, even!):
-- Nintendo World Report Connectivity Jeopardy Live! (nron10)
-- Talkin' 'bout My (Content) Generation (Charron)
-- Online Gaming Communities and 'Real Life' Relationships (jstevenson)
-- Press XY: Transgender Issues In Gaming (shidoshi)
-- From Lurker to Leader: A Frags to Riches Story (GrimBrother One)
-- Inside Gearbox Software (BuddyC/GBX_AdamF)
So it looks like going to every Gaffer panel is impossible, and nobody's speaking on Saturday, so maybe that bit of info can help any meetup plans.

Still have to set my schedule for what panels I'll be seeing.
Already bought my ticket for Rock Band Night. Anyone else going to that Thursday night?
As far as after parties/meet ups I'll at least go to the Giant Bomb get together, that was a lot of fun last year. It was immediately after the live Bombcast last time Not sure what the plan is this year since their panel is on Saturday instead.
Wouldn't be opposed to dropping by a GAF meetup if that goes down. Any reason to get some extra boozing done is golden to me.

I'll be at your panel! *hug*
And look at it this way, on the off chance something does happen at your panel, it definitely would be the smaller of the shitstorms going on at that time.
