The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
My question for you is; What would be something(s), big or small, that you would love to do/see/experience during your PAX trip to make it as awesome as possible?
Some of mine are:
- Find and consume Vanilla Coke (It seems lame but I can't get in where I live)
- Find and consume BBQ flavored Chex Mix (Also not available in my area)
- Have Blizzard attend and set up Diablo 3 demo stations.
- High five everyone at The Behemoth booth and tell them how Castle Crashers is through and through amazing.
- Meet people that live in the same province/city as me that even though we live close together, we would have never met otherwise
- Buy at least one extremely awesome "thing" to keep as a souvenir of PAX. (ie. something more than a t-shirt)
i agree with the vanilla coke thing. there was a happy year where we got it here in the uk, but then it disappeared from shelves. i loved that stuff.
as for happy, i'd love to talk to fans and bands about geeky music. already had a polite no from frontalot, but i can email interview him, which is cool.
I'm studying nerdcore and probably chiptune, and trying to wedge JoCo every other music act in there somehow too for my Masters dissertation.

Lord help me, I chose !Squirtle
I'm looking at PAX as a half-leisure, half-business trip. While I love just going, seeing the demos, and meeting some awesome people, at the same time I am hoping to give my upcoming site a needed boost with the PR departments at game companies. So an awesome trip to me would be one where I return home with pledges of review titles of at least a dozen games.
It would also be awesome if I could convince my father to stick around and watch the JoCo concert as well because I love him
I'd like to find buried treasure
I'd like to see someone do a flip!
I am totally going to stealth kill pirates and ninjas.
I'm going to humiliate the boss (Television deployment/packing, not you PRD/Kethenn/Khoo [actually, humiliating Kethenn might happen. No offense.])
I want to save the princess
I want some cake.
I want to earn some gold stars.
I want to increase my stats by earning phat EXP.
I secretly hope to be stealth killed by pirates and ninjas.
I want to survive the zombie hoard.
I want to find mad lootz.
I want to walk off into the sunset; it's too bad I won't sleep until long after the sun is down.
It'd be cool if I walked into a room and my theme song started playing.
When I win, I want it to be on the hardest difficulty.
I want to get to the top of the flag pole.
I want to get a super huge multiplier.
I'd like to fall in love
I'd like to achieve enlightenment
1) Play in BYOC (already paid and registered)
2) Get to goto PAX (already have 3 day pass)
3) Get to hang out with friends, both old a new (flying up with my buddy and am sure I'll meet lots of people)
4) See the Sam Adam's Brewery (we already have the visit scheduled for Thursday morning when we fly in)
This trip IS going to be awesome!

American Smarties are essentially rolls of candies about the size of an aspirin that are just slight tart sugar. No delicious chocolate at all. Between the beer, sweeter ketchup, smarties and aero bars I never wanted to leave toronto when I went there for work awhile back.
The fact I drank and watch strippers on another companys dime had nothing to do with it either
Yeah, the difference between American and Canadian Smarties/Rockets blew me away the first time I was in the states. We have it so good in that regard up here in our frozen wasteland.
Wait--what? Where did this candy discussion come from? If candy makes your trip awesome, you get excited real easily; unless you're going to a candy con ;p

What would make my trip awesome? Being able to sleep on my flight to Boston.
This... I hate taking the redeye but for PAX I'll make an exception. I fully expect to be passed out in the queue line a couple hours before doors open Friday morning. :zzz:

[lame]id also like my boyfriend to go with me[/lame]
- Seeing Behemoth's Game 3 in action.
- Not wrapping my car around a post on the way there/home.
You could argue I have low standards.
eat awesome food
play awesome games
see awesome things
take pictures
buy awesome shwag
man that'd be AWESOME!

Getting invited to one of the private parties would great.
I'd be happy though if I'm one of the zombies singing along with JoCo to Re: Your Brains.
Need to get some expressionless pictures with Mike and Jerry, and a picture full of nerd glee with Wil Wheaton.
Just being at PAX is awesome though.

Does anyone want anything that's available in Canada only?
Like Smarties?

2) Gaming with above people
Some of the specific things I am looking forward to:
Protomen concert
Wil Wheaton
Jonathan Coulton concert
Scott Kurtz
Playing Mouseguard
Playing Battlestar Galactica
I wish I'd known. I just sold mine.
Canadian smarties are chocolate with a candy shell. Very yummy stuff. Canadian ketchup is also good.
I'm up for bringing some candies over if people want anything. they can owe me in beer or foodstuffs.

2. Meeting up with some new fab people.
I'll also bring chocolate - I did at PAX 08 and gave it away to tired stall holders - accidentally picking up some swag as well!

I literally just gasped...
Will you bring me sweet sweet cadbury crumble? I think thats what its called... I had it once... it was heaven to me.....
I might have to adapt you as my new mother albeit you may not be old enough to be my mom.
You'll have to change your name to "Lewie P and ZeroHourHero's Mummy."
They are like the valentines chalk hearts you get but actually have taste of sweet and sour.
<Qs23> I just need to get my dicks in a row
<prox> i work for dicks
#paforums_pax, all about the dicks.

I know what Canadian smarties are, but they're not just Canadian. :P They are available elsewhere.
If Cadbury Crumble is anything like Violet Crumble, I am SO IN. I still have a bag of Crumble from last PAX that I'm slowly savoring until I get more.
Models, you say?!
now that would make my PAX awesome.
