Just happened about half-hour ago: downstairs at the Sheraton..
A game of Settlers was about to be played, but was switched to Citadels instead.
The reason?
(paraphrased) "Settlers [of Catan] is far too mainstream."
There's much more you all have heard so far, so let's hear them!

Fact 200. Album One - Conch shell red. Album Two - Peony blue. Not for resale unless desperate.

    If it makes you feel better, I'm from the music college and I'm a PAX attendee (and LOVING it :P)

    The Pokécrawl sure was making waves, though XD Nothing like a drunk Pikachu to set off the gossip.

    Haha, my group was wanting to overhear something funny ... I guess this is our entry so far today:

    It's not gaming related, but still funny.

    Said by a friend while sitting eating at the udon place down the hall while referring to their "spicy squid" :

    "I think it's cumulative... "Tap one red mana to add +1/+1 to Spicy Squid. If more than 5 red mana are used in this manner, sacrifice your a**hole at end of turn." "
