Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Omegathon: Round 1
Manticore Theatre
Friday, 5:00pm
Our randomly selected teams of Omeganauts will engage in the first cage match to the death. Only without cages. Or deaths. Probably. We may just have them play Mario Kart: Double Dash.
Omegathon: Round 2
Console Freeplay
Saturday, 10:30am
Our survivors from Round 1 will be further tested and tortured for your amusement, this time in a savage arena of Geometry Wars 2. Eight teams will enter, four of those will be devoured whole for your amusement.
Saturday Night Concert
Main Theatre
Saturday, 8:30pm
We offer not one, but TWO nerdcore-filled nights for your auditory pleasure. Rock out classically with the Video Game Orchestra, followed by Paul and Storm, and then Jonathan Coulton will close out our second night of geek concerts. The first 4,000 attendees at PAX on Saturday morning will receive a wristband for guaranteed entry, with the remaining seats being given away on a first-come, first-serve basis. And the opening act? The third round of the Omegathon, featuring four teams rocking out for your pleasure.
Closing Ceremony
Main Theatre
Sunday, 5:00pm
Bear hold to the Final Round of the Omegathon and let us bid thee farewell.
These are our clues to the Omegathon. Are there only 4 rounds? How/when will people be selected? I don't know, but these are the mentions of the Omegathon in the schedule.

Round 3 has to be a Rock Band of some sort. I'm gonna lol if it's Rock Band: Green Day
And the final round is always a surprise...
I wonder why they didn't do something different though like they said they were going to. Oh well.
How is this not different? Only four rounds, and they're all team games.
Those first two rounds are also two-person team based. Leading me to believe that the third round may also be a two-person team game. Thoughts?
They said the East Omegathon would have its own flavor, much like the rest of the show. To get from x contestants to 1 contestant and make it interesting, it needs to have multiple qualifying rounds. I imagine they kept the same name for ease of recognition and consistency. The team-based competition will definitely have a very different feel from the individual-based Prime tournament.
Agreed, it will definitely be entertaining.

Also, Khoo, wow.
It's a hint!!!! Is there a Rock Band Doo-Wop game coming out?

When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt,
Run in little circles, wave your arms and shout.
I wonder what the 4th round will be? Is there only one victor or will it be a team victory?
If it was done anything like years past, when you pre-registered for a 3-day pass you had a checkbox to click if you wanted to be considered for the Omegathon.
Re: Omegathon - If she did select that box, find out what phone number she entered. Then answer every incoming call you get to that number.

Maybe foosball?
edit: I mean for the final event. so it would be a 2v2 face off.
Perhaps maybe New Super Mario - technically a team game but we all know how that ends up. =P
This would actually be a really good crowd pleaser. Have the final round of the East Omegathon be a singles elimination match against Tycho and Gabe, with the Paint the Line opening staff roll music playing. This would be a hit. Take note, Khoo: This is the "different" you guys need for the East Omegathon in the future.

Doo bee doo bee doo is probably Beatles Rock Band. Sie Liebt Dich yeah yeah yeah...
Or, clearly, the other team would need to stand on their hands amd play. Now THAT would be entertainment.
