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!

Just doing my duty as a fellow [E].
Bringing the barcode on your phone will slow the line down as much as if you didn't have it at all, since we have to type it in manually cause it wont scan.
Edit:
in before GETNEWSCANNERSN00B
lol?
PM me your numbers, I will compare it to my database export to see if there will be an issue.
I just now remembered exactly how huge the BCEC is. jeebus.
same thing I have, the three I pull off the website for myself and my friends is the same as the one sent to my email, ones sent to my friends' emails are different
Question:
From the drop off area how far do we have to walk to the BYOC room?
And do we have access on Thursday during will-call to setup or is that to just collect passes? (it would be great if we could!)
I have figured out why this is.
If you bought multiple tickets under one login and just added your friends info for them then they have different barcodes. The one that shows on the LANfest site is for *yours*.
Your friends were given separate barcodes so you can email them the barcode and they can pick up badges with their own photo ID.
It's not much of a walk from where you drop your PC off. There will be a short walk (read: a couple steps) to the elevator that will take you directly down to the PC room. From there it's just walking to the back of the PC Room, which is where BYOC is.
There is no setup on Thursday. Thursday is only Will Call to pick up badges. BYOC Attendees will be able to enter the BCEC after 7:00 AM through the Northwest 1 Entrance. Equipment Check-In and Seating for BYOC will begin at 8:00 AM in the PC Room, to allow BYOC Attendees two hours to get their rigs setup before PAX opens. PAX will open at 10:00AM on Friday.

Most likely in the North Lobby of the BCEC, however, if not there, I guarantee there will be signs that indicates where and/or a nice info booth to assist if you're lost.

Its at registration in the north Lobby.
I cant read minds!
I am closing down group seating on Tuesday at noon. No further changes will be made after that point.
I am on a plane right now.
That is all.
(lol internet)
What time will badge pickup be on Thursday i need to pickup 2 for my BYOPC event?
On Friday, It said we are able to line up @ 7am and get into the place by 8 to setup, is that correct?
Final question, to get onsite parking, do you think I can get a spot if i arrive by 630-7am?
As for the parking lot... It is HUUUUGE so you won't have any trouble with that.
Otherwise day of you will have to stand in a badge line in front of PC then go stand in the checkin line.
DOUBLE LINES?!
- Thursday Will Call Registration will run pretty much all day and into the early evening hours. 8am-8pm.
- If it said that, it's probably correct. =) You'll be able to get in around 7:00 AM (actual time may vary by a few minutes), and check-in starts at 8:00 AM, PAX opens at 10:00 AM.
- Parking: The BCEC has a large parking lot on the south side called "South Lot". It's $15 / day. You should be able to get into it early in the morning without much issue. Make sure you drop off your stuff though before parking... It's a haul.

Diablo 3 & BF3 Close quarters combat at PAX: http://www.facebook.com/events/371463549564740/?sf3688730=1
Can be play this event with our own computers or is it just the nvidia computers?
I'm out of the loop with which of these games, if any, are still popular and might be played in BYOC. Suggestions?
Derp, the picture is correct the text isn't. I'll fix it shortly.
(BF3 handle JedEckert)
Assuming I can manage carrying both PC's somehow, can I check in for both myself and my buddy who's arriving at 10:30a Friday? I have his barcode and BYOC reg and all that. I'd like to get everything set and then go get him from airport.
Thanks and looking forward to seeing everyone. BYOC ftw!
Teasing about preferred game modes aside, thanks to your clan for welcoming PAX East players! It's just not for me
Anyway... I'm hoping there will be some sweet BF3 servers available at BYOC... while it's great that the PC Freeplay gets to have fun with the Close Quarters DLC, I'm hoping us Vanilla/B2K folks won't be left out of the fun. Any word on LAN-connected BF3 servers, and what game modes/maps/configurations they'll be running? Or are we gonna be stuck connecting to internet servers (sweet Osiris I hope not, limited internet bandwidth and all)?
We are trying but it's unknown righty now. At the very least we will prioritize traffic for BF3 on the connection. I will have an Internet server thats in the new England area for use at pax. I will have details up on the intranet.
