Any BYOACers planning to attend Pax Prime this year?
-
I'd like to go to something like that. I have been watching some to the videos from last years.
I went to w00tstock last week in Minn. That was fun.

Pax was terrific. We caught the Friday night concert. The Minibosses return to the stage didn't miss a beat. Also, Metroid Metal was surprisingly good. Unfortunately, the first two bands could have used a good sound crew to tell them louder isn't better. It was pretty distorted and very difficult to hear what was happening.
Red vs Blue panel was excellent, as always. We skipped @Wilw's panel, due to the crazy length of the line. And we missed out on the live PA D&D session because the enforcers miscounted and assumed we'd get in, but they ran out of seats. But it sounded like it was fun, and I think it's available as a podcast to download. There were lots of great exhibits this year, including my new personal favorite game: Super Meat Boy (http://www.supermeatboy.com/). Check it out! Ultra-hard old school platforming gameplay at its finest; if you rejoiced every time you died in Mega Man, you'll love this title.
Also, Von's martini bar is the shizzle! We drank late into the night, every night of the con.
And finally, I made a side-trip during the con to pick up a racing car seat and a Logitech G940 flight system for my next Arcade Cabinet project: I'm building myself a Mechwarrior 4 battle pod/home office desk. I mean, what better way to study accounting than in the cockpit of a Marauder?

Edit: Oops, thought this was about Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle. :-[

Pardon the threadjack, but I'd love to hear what you think about that G940 once you get it installed. I just bought the G27 wheel and I'd love to add that beast to my setup. Any chance you could write up a quick and dirty review thread?
