Omegathon, OMEGANAUTS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN! OMEGANAUTS POST HERE!

TdarTURbo

I got accepted as an Omeganaut. The experience was unreal. I picked up the phone and didn't say anything for 5 seconds. Sorry for making you wait Gabe.

Mahliss

I am also an Omeganaut. Holy cow!

Moe Fwacky

As per Gabe's recent tweet, all Omeganauts have been chosen. Congrats to those that were chosen; to those that weren't, better luck next time.

Grats!

There was one more on twitter, @sweeneyben

FYI that was me

gilby123

I just got off the phone with Gabe (Mike) I'm IN! I almost thought someone was messing with me.

I may have just had a Nergasm...Just sayin.

ChronoHawk

Congratulations and Best of luck to our new omeganauts!

Matev

While I've not been chosen, this is a relief as I'll not be able to make it to East.

Better luck for Prime. Grats to the Chosen.

contrefait

Only piece of advice. Up until the 4th round, you don't have to win, you just have to not lose. After 4th, you have to win.

gilby123

Really hope some Boardgaming is part of it.

sofreshsodarryl

I was on my way home and got the call literally in the one station where I have cell phone service. Hello, my name's Cassandra and I'm an Omeganaut.

Holy shit! That is awesome! Congratulations!

Haha I didn't even know this was happening! I got a call about three hours ago from an unknown number, but it just hung up as soon as it answered. Good thing I didn't know calls were going out today!

I just looked it up, looks like it came from North Carolina. XD Doesn't even matter, I didn't check the box to be in the running to be an Omeganaut (I'm a terrible gamer, and I'm sure I'll be busy enough at PAX).

BaconSandwich

Holy hell, I don't pay attention for five minutes and it is when the calls go out! Congratulations all, if you are of the twitter persuasion you could maybe post your twitter info, for those interested in following the deeper goings on of the Omeganauts

Last year at East, you had to win every round. So, yeah. Best advice is to not suck.

My twitter handle is @sweeneyben

Themiscyra

Mine is @Themiscyra

...yeah I use this handle a lot.

TdarTURbo

There might be some overlap, but accounts on twitter say that they're omeganauts are

Why yes, just searching for it on twitter would make a lot more sense:oops:

I'll just put this list in the OP in a different list, shall I?

I also posted my Twitter handle above -- conveniently it's the same as my forum name.

cove_kid

Learn to play Rock Band on Medium. Especially drums. Or since RB3 is out, the new guitar and keyboard. But if nothing else, learn drums.

Unison bonus will win it.

Indeed you did, and thank you for it! I've been verifying names on TdarTURbo's list and couldn't find a few, so I didn't put them there. Hopefully I will be able to keep up on it and update as information becomes available.

...why no I'm not obsessed about this, why do you ask?

Jooish Jedi

Hey Everyone I was chosen today a's an omeganaut. I almost wrecked my car when I realized who was calling. Does anyone know I'd this tourney takes up the whole three days of events?


Grate to the rest of the selectees

Yes. The number of rounds and when they happen varies from PAX to PAX, but they always are spread over all 3 days. Last year at PAX East there were four rounds, one directly after the keynote and first Q&A, two on day 2 and the final round on day 3.

Uhhhh MagnifiedX isn't a handle on Twitter, and I'm not an omeganaut, so you might want to check the others in the list.

Indeed, Father Christmas-like, I did indeed check the list. Twice! You'll find your name on neither of the lists in the original posts. Excellent catch though.

EDIT: Apparently I needed to check a third time. NOW your name is on neither list.

FDC_Ruckus

Sup bros.

Omeganaut checking in. Sorry I registered on these forums just because of that....

Moe Fwacky

You're not the first to do so, and you're not the last who ever will. It's nothing to apologize for.

Rold

@cannedspork
got the call at work, a coworker told me not to answer. glad I did! he didn't believe me when I told him who called me.

Mahliss

I'm @sunraven01 on Twitter.

gilby123

I don't post a ton, but my twitter is @gilby722

Rold

I'm wondering what games I should be playing to warm up. Do i hook up my Atari? Do i play some Mario Kart? maybe just break another controller with super meat boy? I'm sure the list will be pretty varied.

Mahliss

I guess it's time to actually start playing Rock Band again. And maybe figure out what Minecraft is all about?

FDC_Ruckus

Minecraft is all about awesome, and if you don't know that yet, I really hope we're not partners for this shindig.

Rold

I'm afraid to play minecraft, as I don't want a repeat of my Dwarf Fortress incident.

gilby123

Yeah...I'm going to have to look into Minecraft. As for RockBand stuff...Well, sorry in advance partner because on medium, depending on the song, I'll either do ok or awful.

I don't suppose they have WoW on the list. That I can at least sorta play. lol

Jooish Jedi

hey bacon,

if you want to throw me up on that twitter list it's @Jooishjedi

tvethiopia

i got, and did not answer, what appeared to be a telemarketer call at the same time omegathon calls went out. now this is going to haunt me.

Goose!

There's no way that Minecraft could be a thing. How would you determine winners and losers? And it would take too long.

FDC_Ruckus

I could see it being a thing, and you can totally partner up on it. You know, helping each other mine and craft and shit.

BaconSandwich

As much as I love the idea of a Minecraft round, is there really a good way to make a 10-15 minute maximum game from it?
