PAX East 2013 PC Freeplay Game List
Who's ready for PAX?!?!
With just over a week away, we thought we'd wet some whistles and give everyone a look inside the PC Room and show everyone some of the games that we'll be hosting on the machines!
For those of you who don't know what PC Freeplay is, we're setting up hundreds of high speed gaming computers (Thanks to our friends over at Intel) in the Intel PC Room! These machines are available to all attendees to come in and spend a few moments playing some of the hottest games out right now. There's usually a line throughout the convention, but if you show up in the mornings there's less of a line!

PC Room Hours as the same as PAX (not Expo, Expo closes at 6PM, where as PC Room stays open all of the time). So we're open all of PAX which is 10AM-2AM. (Thanks @zerzhul )

Sorry, we don't allow attendees to attach any of their own equipment to the Freeplay machines. This includes keyboards, mice, thumb drives, and smart phones.
Riot is doing their own thing (though I don't know what that is) in their booth which based on the map looks insanely large. I'm betting their booth is going to be pretty awesome.

Thanks. Looks like I'll probably just do some upgrades to the laptop and play on that if needed.
Really? Huh, the FAQ made it sound like if you brought a laptop you could be accommodated in someway and BYOC was just for a nonportable system.
Let me clear this up, and if @zerzhul or @SmallLady can clear up the FAQ, that'd be great.
You can not bring any personal items, computers (laptops or desktops), accessories, or otherwise into the PC room with the intention of hooking up to the Freeplay machines or PC LAN Network. Attendees wishing to partake in the Bring Your Own Computer offering need to purchase the additional BYOC Badge in order to bring your own personal items and have a place to sit.
If you have a laptop, but do not have a BYOC badge, there is nothing preventing you from using your laptop in the PC area, however, you won't have a place to sit, and you won't be allowed in BYOC or able to connect to the LAN network.

The FAQ he's referring to is not the Forums FAQ as BYOC has it's own thread with it's own FAQ.
Hrmmm...

@KitInaka - Where do you see this listed and on which FAQ? I don't see it in either my BYOC FAQ nor the Forum FAQ.
Vapok
Sorry if this is causing a problem. Just wanted to make sure I knew all the rules.
Heh, yeah.. I see that now here: http://east.paxsite.com/faq#can-i-bring-my-own-computer-for-the-lan
I'll see if I can get that cleaned up.
Vapok
@Kitlnaka -- no worries, we'll get it clarified. the rule is definitely "no laptops will be plugged into the PC Freeplay network".

It will be nice playing a LAN game of TF2, and I'd love to try playing Hawken at more than the 15-20 FPS my home machine gives me, so I'm hoping to get down to Freeplay. Thanks for running it dudes!
We wanted to do Black Ops 2, but we couldn't source a local LAN server to run the game. We've been trying to be very mindful of the games that we put on to the freeplay machines with respect to bandwidth usage so that the experience is great! That's why we'll have many of the games listed with on-site local LAN servers running!
Anyways looking forward to seeing everyone there!
