DO NOT PUT IT IN DISHWASHER. Sorry for yelling but mine warped, it is awesome but very flimsy, and did not like the high temp. of the dry cycle
Hey if anyone got the STEAMPUNK GOGGLES FROM MAGIC, please let me know if i can buy them off u!!!!!
WHAT COMPANY WAS THAT FROM?
My buddy and I both went to that panel at Prime last year and really enjoyed it and now both have newborns. This year going all 4 days is pretty much out of the realm of possibility for us so we plan on going for that panel specifically this year with our babies in tow (hopefully...).
I (again) stocked up on the Rohto eye drops (12 packs). Still haven't finished the ones from last year, but you never know. I also made several visits to the Pop Games area to get a variety of plushes for my son to either throw around or hide in his secret stash that I still haven't found.
1. I spent more time with my friends. I usually spent more time playing in various tournaments and trying to accumulate as much swag as possible. However, since both were limited I guess I was forced to be more social ;p
2. Expo hall was easy to navigate.. If I were to suggest something would be to put AAA titles at the 4 corners of the Expo Hall to accommodate more people.. and would hopefully lead to less crowding. Put indie games in between each corner.
3. Although there were less tournaments this year (I've been to every PAX East).. there were also way less prizes! What happened? I suppose they were sponsored before but even the PAX medals were scarce! They used to be awarded up to top 4.. now they are awarded only to the winner
4. In general there was more swag to be had in previous years. But I assume this is an exhibitor thing. It used to be, hey you won a t-shirt! You won whatever it is because you're here and you're a nice guy! Woo! But now it's.. stand in line, like our facebook/twitter page, to receive a raffle ticket for a later time, for a chance to win a chance for a poster! Woo!!
5. One minor specific complaint.. the milk shake I bought for 8 dollars was just straight up milk. I was so sad. Had to do with the convention center itself, but I felt like someone had to know.
6. If at all possible for next year.. maybe have vendors submit their give-away / competition schedules. I would like to plan out my expo hall a bit better rather than wander around and then find out I missed something I would have liked
Everything else, great stuff
Pretty sure you're posting in the wrong thread.
It was Boston Paintball.

For all of us League of Legends cosplayers who participated in Riot's Cosplay Parade one any of the three days, we received a swag bag containing a $30 pillow of either Tibbers or Baron Nashor (or a Rammus hat, I heard), a large LoL mousepad, a $65 gaming mouse, an additional skin code for King Tryndamyre, a poster, and a bunch of other little bits and bobs.
In addition, I was an entry for Astro Gaming's cosplay contest, and my group won, netting me a sweet $100 gaming headset. Loot was good for me this PAX.
