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.
I didn't get much, but I did buy a lovely set of new D&D dice that I needed. And although I got it for free, I attained the Pokemon HG/SS bag. I feel like such a cool cat. My friends bought some card game that I can't remember the name of. It was silly and one of those games you'd play with your friends at two in the morning.
I haven't picked up much yet at PAX proper, but I have bought a ton of booze, and I won an XKCD 'Map of the Internet' poster at the Barfleet party last night. w00t.
Bought JoCos dvd to have him sign since I left my copy at home. Bought paul n storms cd to get them to sign. That's about it - I did pick up pokemon heartgold yesterday too.

We got our awesome BYOC goodie bags. My wife won a copy of Metro 2033 from the Oregon Trail contest. We bought a couple shirts, scarves, and a hoodie. Otherwise, some Turbine points, and random crap from different companies (marketing stuff). Edit: and a free game from Telltale. Not sure which yet... Monkey Island, perhaps?
grabbed the new frontalot sshirt, an anamanaguchi cd signed, and a protomen cd. they complained that i wanted them to sign my program though.
speaking of, i got gabe tycho and khoo signed on the cover, which is pretty awesome.
picked up a plushy maw and some dice too. wanted a scarf but someone told me they'd sold out well before they did. by the time i checked i didn't have the money to spend.

Masters Degree Student: PLEASE TALK TO ME ABOUT NERDCORE Twitter
Lord help me, I chose !Squirtle
we got in earlier on friday and missed the keynote barely (my friend got in). i nabbed a skateboard after standing in line for a few minutes. at this time it wasn't too bad line-wise. i got a shitton of stickers from rockstar, skate 3, anamanguchi, and rock band. i got a few APB shirts and one of the free pokemon backpacks. also a shirt from THE GIG's smokey van.
i bought a few things: pax east shirt (grey), glover for the N64, jet grind radio (STILL IN PACKAGING? came with two manuals for no reason), a "ask me about my zombie plan" shirt from rooster teeth, and a splosion man shirt from the twisted pixel booth. i also got an anamanaguchi CD and had them sign it, and i high-fived the lead guitarist after he signed my arm.
Did not buy anything. I made over $250 selling assorted jank MTG cards to Star City. If anyone bought trashed Aether Vials or really beat Tops, I bet they were mine.
The only thing I bought was mega64 season 1. I got code that lets me download battlefield BC2 for free, a code to get $20 off any EA game, 3 t-shirts (APB, red dead redemption and crank that s#!t up)
Alrighty then!
- Through the Intel Prize Patrol thing, I got 2 LED pens, a large "Life's a Glitch" shirt, and a sling bag.
- I bought 3 little Cthulhu plushes (1 for me, 1 for one friend, and 1 for another friend).
- I bought Paul and Storm's newest CD.
- I bought Anamanaguchi's CD and got a few free stickers.
- I bought a panel from Bill Amend.
- I bought a mini-comic and a 3-pack of buttons (for a friend ... the buttons, not the comic) from Loading Ready Run.
- I got an iron-on from the red-suited Doctor Horrible.
- I got a deck of Magic cards (in the swag bag, like everyone else).
- I got a Rockstar sticker.
- I got a Reddit alien thingy made from beads at a little Tweetup I went to.
- And finally ... I got 2 buttons from Scott Kurtz.

First and foremost, I think I collected around 10,000 watts for the pokewalker this weekend by going around connecting with people. It seemed like I was linking up at least once every 5 minutes the entire weekend. I wanted to buy an Anamanaguchi T-shirt but they were sold out of my size when I finally got around to it. I did, however pick up some sweet stickers from them as well as a signed CD. I got the obligatory free t-shirts from Boston College and Power Gig. The Power Gig T has a funny story behind it. I just came from the Openchord.org booth where I picked up a button so I was asking the rep the difference between the two. I feel kinda bad because he seemed to give me a T-shirt just to get me out of there. What perhaps was the best swag I got all trip was winning the PA book in one of the line contests.
Anamanaguchi t-shirts sold out when I went to get some
Hmmm...I bought 2 PA shirts and a poster. Tons of free shirt swag.

Alas, I never have much money to buy stuff at the convention as I attend so many of them. Pax East is the seventh convention I've attended in this area since January, to give you an idea.
I got a red vs blue mssenger bag with no strap. the martial power 2 book. 3 new sets of dice. The BFBC2 tshirt, rdr tshirt, and a jar of baconnayise which i traded to a guy for the shirt
- Gray PAX East t-shirt
- PAX East Scarf
- 2nd Protomen CD; would have grabbed first too but they were packed up when I can back
- Wife bought a JoCo shirt and got it signed
- picked up the thumb drive with the Thing-a-Week
Schwag;
- Wife got free copy of Total War game (?not sure about the name, looked like online Risk)
- Got from Intel booth; glowie pen, Anti-Social Networking shirt, free copy of Napoleon game (looked really good on their systems, hope my can run it that well, if not we're upgrading soon anyway)
- free t-shirt and blowup swords from Dragon Age guy
- ton of random buttons
- Munchkin card game
Well besides the usual swag, I waited all weekend with the Game On Intel pin, but never got a card. Then on Sunday, right after meeting the guys from XPlay and getting their autographs, a guy from Intel comes up and hands me a card, and tells me 'I think you'll like this one'. So I go downstairs and wait in line, thinking I'm getting a t-shirt, then the lady scans it and yells,
'Processor!!'
Sorry for the story, but it was friggin' awesome.
Also John Seggerson, very cool guy, gave me the complete series of Monkey Island.
They had Zombie and Cthulhu Dice for sale at some point?! God, I'm sorry I didn't go to the SJG booth 'til Sunday...
For myself:
Skull the Troll plushie
Signed copy of the first Starslip Crisis collection
Move Minor Standard tee
City of Heroes tee
City of Heroes Hero Gear Kit
Green APB tee (way too big for me, so woo, it's another pajama tee!)
LOLbat and Retweet buttons
Ugly American button (I don't know if they had different ones; mine had a leprechaun)
Monster Slayer chit from the WotC booth
Custom Magic card photo from one of the other WotC booths
Munchkin Silver Piece
And of course all the stuff that was in the swag bags. Neat haul, but next year I'm setting way more money aside for souvenirs! I would've added a signed copy of Memories of the Future and a whole lot more to my list if I'd had the money (and the time to wait for Wil Wheaton).

I also purchased a hamburger & fries from the main lobby buffet thing ... I was losing fortitude at that point and was completely revived ... awesome food.
Were they giving out xbox live avatar clothing again? I've seen MajorNelson's hacked account pics and in them his guy is wearing what appears to be a PAXEast hoodie.
Anyone have spares? My avatar's PAX09 t-shirt is looking soooo last season right now.

Man... by the time I got the card and read what it was for, the guy was gone. I think they hired a ninja to pass those out.

- an Antec spot case fan
- Patriot Box Office Media Center (raffle, costs about $90 on Amazon)

Got some cool stuff but apparently missed out on lots more after reading this thread:
-Skate 3 Deck (the one with PAX East on it), best swag of the show IMO
-Power Gig T-shirt
-Poster from the Behemoth (Hope you like it)
-Buttons from the Behemoth (overpriced a bit)

-Gem from Puzzle Quest 2 booth (didn't find 2 others with my same color)

Don't know if it counts - but I also went home and immediately bought Shoot1UP after playing it at the show. Super super fun game I never would have played otherwise - can't wait for Grapple Buggy.
My coolest snag of the convention was the skate deck that had the custom illustration of PAX on it and the "Draw yourself here" circle on the bottom. I managed to get Tycho and the VGO to sign it on Saturday, then my wonderful girlfriend got Gabe to draw, well, Gabe's face in the circle and sign it on Sunday since I couldn't make it.
Can't wait to hang that bad boy up.
Otherwise I got some cool stickers from the Rockband Lounge, put those on my guitar cases. Got a wrist band from there as well, which was neat. Lastly I got a Monday Night Combat shirt which I am wearing right now. :]

Zombie Dice and Cthullu Dice were on sale (in very limited quantities) at the Complete Stragetis booth on the second floor. They actual release date isn't until later in the year, though, so you'll have to wait if you didn't get one.

I got various swag and won a very nice Chun-li controller at the Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting tournament.
More of a curse than anything though, since I'll have to drop $1500 on my PC to get it ready to use them, but the end result will be worth it
Other than that I got a ton of shirts and a rather nice ceramic Intel mug.
