This is why you sold me those passes.

I will remember this.

I started feeling funny on the train home, last year. The next day....fucking brutal.

Chances are, you will get sick. All of those people...little sleep....tons of junk food....and booze. Yep. Recipe for feeling like shit afterwards. But it's worth it. You'll have a blast. Plus, Gaffers will be there.

We went to this really great bar (with old dudes singing too!). I think it was called the Black Rose, or something like that.

Oh yeah, and definitely go to the Indie Mega Booth. Hell, go to everything you can possibly go to.

Go for it.

Anybody going able to pick up swag for those of us not able to go?

Ah hell. I'm sure there will be nice stuff too

Mully....you know what to do.

 

[Mully]

I got you mang.

 

[5amshift]

Any shirt sizes I should mainly grab? As Media, I have my selection on however many amounts of just about anything I want.

 

[Drain You]

Missed out last year because of being sick. This year I am ready, driving into Boston the Thursday before and will be there all weekend. Look forward to seeing some of you there.

XL for the fatties.

 

[Mzo]

So pumped, mainly for the Harmonix "Rock Band" panel and party, going to pick up retro games, seeing what Capcom has up their sleeves, and playing Marvel Heroes.

No! Those are my retro games! Stay away!

 

[LevityNYC]

ok, I have 2 extra passes for Sunday and 1 extra pass for Friday and Saturday.
PM me for details if serious. I had a friend cancel on me, but I plan to go solo.

I'm selling them for close to cost and people keep showing interest and not following through. I'm not trying to gouge anyone, I just to cover what i paid plus shipping and a small Paypal fee.

Ebay listings are getting over $60 per day.

Looking to sell them today and ship them via Priority Mqil

Dat Saints Row 4.

The polygon article mentions that:

Deep Silver and Volition will be discussing Saints Row 4 in a presentation next week at PAX East in Boston, Mass.

Does anyone know when and where? I don't see a Deep Silver or Volition panel in the schedule. I see Deep Silver has an exhibit booth but that can't be where they would make a presentation for it, no?

 

[dave is ok]

Maybe. Sometimes there will be a little line on the show floor to get in a tiny room and get a presentation on a game. I know XCOM did it last year

Me and my friends entered but how many tickets are you guys giving out at the door/what time?

I doubt we would all win one (if any do) so I figure we'll have to try and get door tickets.

 

[Tizoc]

Kinda feels funny that my 'prediction' was correct:

Capcom are said to announce some games at PAX East.
My guess is they're classic games re-releases/compilations tho.

Are Namco Bandai gonna be at PAX? I have a feeling JoJo All-Stars might get announced for an English release during PAX @_@.

 

[Mesoian]

No, they're at Wondercon which is at the same time.

 

[Tizoc]

No, they're at Wondercon which is at the same time.

Ah I see.

For anyone going to PAX, CAN you try tospeak with some Capcom reps in regards to releasing some PSX games on PSN. This week 6 Japanese PSX games got released to US PSN, based on this shouldn't it be possible for say Rival Schools 1 to get a release on US PSN as an import as well?

 

[5amshift]

Wow, Rockstar fucked up by not being there. Perfect opportunity to show pff GTAV. Whatever.

 

[Poker Face]

if anyone has an extra saturday ticket (or two) let me know!

Hero - If you want to add them to the OP, here are the two panels I'll be involved with. I'm a panelist on the second panel for sure, but it's possible I might also be on the first (as one of the panelists current set to be there might need to drop out).

Press XY Presents: We Accept You… Just Don’t Use the Bathroom

Corgi Theatre // Friday, March 22nd, 2013 // 3:00pm - 4:00pm

What’s it like out there for transgender people in the gaming industry? Join our panel of industry personnel as they share coming out stories, job retention expectations, and their experiences of working while Trans. Learn a bit about what to expect when you’re working WITH someone who is Trans as well.

Press XY Presents: Help, I think my Wizard is a Transsexual!

Corgi Theatre // Sunday, March 24th, 2013 // 3:00pm - 4:00pm

What’s the “Right” way to create a transgender character for a video game, and how do you make games more welcoming for transgender gamers? Our panel of transgender game designers and journalists will discuss and debate how Trans characters should be presented in games, and how the gaming industry and community can better address issues of inclusiveness.

 

[LevityNYC]

Now have 1 pass left for Sunday and 1 pass left for Friday.


Selling at cost.

PM me if you want to go.

 

[Kilrathi]

I been to PAX Prime twice in 09(I ended up getting the swine flu that year), and 10. PAX east I have been to all of them. I went all 3 days those times however this year is different as today I qualified for IHSA(equestrian) regionals with a yellow ribbon(3rd) at today's horse show. So its going to be team practice Friday early morning, afterwords its to Boston where I need to drop off my show jacket, and gear. Saturday drive down to Connecticut for the Horse Show then drive back up(hopefully with a blue ribbon(1st)).

Still hoping to have to time for the GAF meet up but we shall see how things go.

Is that a first?

 

[evilalien]

They did that last year too.

 

[KHarvey16]

They did that last year too.

Ah, ok. Was it mostly the big stuff in the main hall?

It was all of the main hall stuff and some of the panels from the 4 large side halls if I recall correctly.

Has anyone else not received their badges in the mail yet? Any steps I can take to make sure I'm not screwed?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

If you don't receive them in time, can't you just bring your confirmation code to one of the kiosks in the main entrance to get them?

 

[nikos]

Anyone have two Saturday or Sunday passes available? Please let me know, it would be much appreciated!

 

[Pai Pai Master]

If you don't receive them in time, can't you just bring your confirmation code to one of the kiosks in the main entrance to get them?

I would hope so...does anyone know if that's possible? Sent them an email over the weekend but haven't heard back and there's no number to call anywhere on the site or registration email. I just don't want to fly to Boston if I'm not going to be able to get in.

The confirmation email did have this:

Please Print This Confirmation For Your Records and Bring It With You to PAX East.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

The confirmation email did have this:

I shot them another email, people on the forums are being told to bring a copy of their confirmation as well as the email response they received. Hopefully that works.

Why the hell do they wait so long to send out passes? My friend and I bought ours back in October, he just received his on Wednesday of last week.

 

[Sanjuro]

No idea. I received my pass two weeks ago.

 

[ultron87]

Part of it is making it so there is less time to create counterfeits which they've had a big problem with in the past.

 

[OnPoint]

We have an extra 3-day badge for sale. Interested party should PM me. Will be offering it for the low low price of what we paid: $70.

Fuck you. Shut your whore mouth!

I think that I'm supposed to get more around here from what I've been hearing. I was going to head into the city early for Wednesday night, but probably will go after the Thursday commute or so.

[OnPoint]

What, did you think we just called ourselves 'Buffalo'?

 

[Sanjuro]

What, did you think we just called ourselves 'Buffalo'?

I thought you called each other Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

 

[Mr Jared]

We're sending out the official announcement in about six hours, but I just wanted to drop this off before I didn't have another chance.

We just posted the official streaming schedule, for those who can't make it to PAX East: http://blog.twitch.tv/2013/03/everything-you-need-to-know-about-twitch-at-pax-east-2013/

PAX themselves will be streaming a ton of content from both the Main and Naga theaters, which make up the bulk of major sessions, including the concerts. From the Twitch booth, we'll have some great stuff of our own, including..

- The first live gameplay of Diablo III running on PS3
- Siglemic performing live Super Mario 64 speedruns each day
- Daily shows of Injustice: Gods Among Us
- Cosplay contest on Sunday

I'm really looking forward to the show this year, so I hope to see some GAFers at the booth!

It'll be a nice change from the 15-20 we're in the middle of getting.

Speaking of weather what's the temperature of the convention center like? Should I bring a light sweater with me?

 

[Lexxon]

Speaking of weather what's the temperature of the convention center like? Should I bring a light sweater with me?

Last couple years the center has been pretty warm, ESPECIALLY in the expo hall. Not uncomfortably so but enough that I certainly didn't need any more layers. But it was also a lot warmer than this both of the last two years, so I'm not sure how it'll all be this year. I'd certainly say bring layers--bring something heavy for the commutes to the hotel, something light potentially for the center or for small walks outside.

 

[LevityNYC]

ok, I have 1 extra pass for Sunday
PM me for details if serious. I had a friend cancel on me, but I plan to go solo.

$45 including shipping. I'm not trying to gouge anyone, I just to cover what i paid plus shipping and a small Paypal fee.

Ebay listings are getting over $60 per day.

let me know by tomorrow 3/21 early afternoon as it would be the last time I could get it to you on time.

 

[Charoncaori]

Edit: Found someone to take the badge already, sorry!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend! And I'll definitely check out the twitch booth, though it sounds like you guys will be crowded.

 

[Schweinehund]

Going to be a great pax, can feel it in my bones.

Needs to be a north pax, centered in Michigan
