It's been confirmed Flay and the team'll be there, something like a 10x20 booth? Gonna be sweet. Let's get a post together closer to september about who's all going. My hotel/flight/badge is booked and paid.

Actually, I hate to break this to you, but we decided not to go to PAX. We realized that in order to make it worthwhile, we were going to have to spent a lot of time and money both getting a demo together and designing and building a booth.
We underestimated how much the whole thing would cost us and the huge distraction it would be to the team. We've all worked on games where we've had to drop everything for a month or two to get ready for a demo and most of the time it delays the project by at least that amount, or more. We didn't want to slow down and can't afford to either. So we made the difficult decision not to go.
Hopefully we'll see you guys there next year!<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--> :,C
That's OK Flayra. I can't speak for everyone but I forgive you. Just give me a firm date of when the Alpha tools will be available and we will call it good. K?
The GiantBomb reunion. They had a contest to see who could finish a ramen bowl using NOS instead of water. Winner got a copy of Beatles Rock Band and StarCraft 2 beta key. Had to leave early again for..

My single biggest hope is that they release another Jonathan Coulton song for Rock Band. :O

Holy Crap!

+1 internets for total recall reference.
i'll get back to uploading once my head stops spinning.
Old Republic panel, huge turnout.. and they showed practically nothing new. They gave out free copies of KOTOR though.

Brink demonstration. Looks like Killzone 2 meets Mirror's Edge, pretty rad.

Bumped into the GiantBomb guys casually standing around the escalators.

The Brodeo reunion. Barely made it in. They passed out lovely korean snacks though.
