<div class="IPBDescription">Who's Going?</div> Most if not all of you should know about the <a href='http://pennyarcadeexpo.com' target='_blank'>Penny Arcade Expo</a>, or PAX. It's being held in Bellevue, Washington at the end of August blah blah. Check the website. Now the important stuff:
Who's going? This topic's gonna be a big list; I'll update this post as people say they'll be there. Maybe we could set up an NS Forums team to compete in a bunch of the tournaments that you sign up for when you get there. We could kick serious butt.
<b><u>List so far:</u></b><ul><li><b>TychoCelchuuu </b>aka Danny Weltman</li><li><b>NeonSpyder </b>aka Ryan Czech</li><li><b>Nukethepalce </b>aka Tall Werewolf</li><li><b>funbags </b>aka Dirty Hippy</li></ul>Possibly attending:
<b>[WHO]Them</b> aka Dave
<b>Renegade's Mysterious Friend</b> aka It's Renegade

Bleh, I missed Necrowombicon 2 to hang out with that friend, and now I'm missing PAX2 because she never wants to hang out with me again. I can never win
booyah!
Baby!
Hail to the king and etc and so forth.
FACE!
pie? no no, cheese.
Yeah, the guy with the.. no wait. **** it there's no way you'd recognize me.
oh by the way i still have some room in my... room, so yeah if you need floorspace to crash give me a buzz.
Well, there is the Exhibitor's Hall. Tons of companies showing off their newest games.
Or the tournaments. Team and individual games ranging from Warcraft III to console crap. Along with the Omegathon, there are tons of discussions, panels, and presentations to attend, to say nothing of the musical performances or the Red vs Blue showings.
If you want a rundown of what PAX was like last year (and it'll be 2x better this year) check out my obscenely long and in-depth article <a href='http://fragfiles.org/page/59' target='_blank'>here.</a> It's not boring though.
I do, however, have a friend who's going. He's a lurker here on the boards and I'm sure he'd be more than happy to meet you guys there. PM me and I'll give you his info.

I sortof attended the first one, but the overwhelming stench of nerds without deoderant on the first day really got to me. I don't think I'll be going this time around (it'll probably be worse), but my friend will.

I'll wear deodorant! I'll bring some along and surreptitiously rub it on people if I must. I'll tell them it makes girls kiss them or that it gives you extra lives or something.
I could buy that horrid Axe body spray; it would double as mace for the creepy nerds.

WEAR PANTS ON YOUR HEAD. THEN POST PICTARS LATER.
Anyway. Those of you who are going, what are your plans? I think I want to go all 3 days, but it would be such a hassle since the doors close at 2AM the first two days, and I live out on Bainbridge Island. I was thinking it might be possible to rent a hotel or something.
As for the actual expo, yeah, we should DEFINATLY put a team together. I'll be occupied with the musical event the first two days (12-1:30am, 10-12:30) because that's all I'm really coming for (<33 MC Chris)
The only games that they're having tournaments in that I'm good at is BF2 (Which I only own the demo of) and CS (Which I hate, but I'd play a tourney with you guys)
Then there's also freeplay, where we should rock NS hardcore.
Take a look at the PAX event list.

And there is floorspace available for:
a. Partying.
b. More Partying.
c. Sleeping space for the exchange of monies.
d. See Above
Also my plans include going there friday at noon. enjoying Pax. crashing/partying at hotel room. then the second day enjoy pax and win some tournaments. then crashing/partying. third day includes more of the same.
Catch my drift?
