I don't know whether to start a new discussion thread with this or just ask here. For those PAX-vets, what do you plan on doing with that extra day? Prime 2012 was my first one and by the end of Sunday I had seen my fill. I know with the extra day I'll be able to do a little more risky exploring of the expo hall and definitely go to more events outside the hall, but I'd like to know what preliminary plans y'all have made.

I think this can live on its own. This will likely be an active discussion in and of itself.
For me, I might actually do some Expo hall. I generally stay entirely away from Expo since it's my least favorite thing at PAX, and with time constraints I rarely want to spend time in there. The extra day may entice me to do some booth hopping.

Probably see more panels throughout the event. Since there will be more time and I won't miss out on tabletop and floor time.
I will be doing a lot more table top this year. I don't think I will be planning something for the extra day. But use it to be able to do more each day. Also I figure any long lines for something you want will be much shorter on Monday.
I normally shy away from the expo hall, due to how crowded it is, and my love for panels. I think I'll use the Monday as my non-cosplay day, to just relax and enjoy that area. Perhaps more table top. Perhaps more shenanigans.

I don't guess I saw this mega booth and prime last year... I spent some time in the indie section and played some great games... But mega booth? I did not see? Perhaps I am making mega to be larger than it is?
I always spent my last day trying out the indie games and finishing up the long lines that potentially wouldn't be so long anymore. But yes, definitely try to pick up all the free swag that exhibitors don't want to bring back.
It's also the day I spend time actually trying to draw something cool on the Fangamer dry erase board.

The Indie MegaBooth is a collection of booths, not one ginormous booth. You were probably there.
I'll check out anything I missed which judging from last year will be the indie booths and tabletop area. Maybe if the LoL tournament is still going on I'll spend a few hours spectating the matches. Although I am curious to see what new panels will pop up now there is an extra day.
The fourth day I have the perfect plan. I will play more games, smoke more tobacco, drink more alcohol, get more swag, get less sleep. It is going to be awesome.
Ive never had any problems filling my day and wish by the end that i had a few more days. But if you are really interested , during the mornings i usually hit the hall and look for some short lines and spend some time after lunch looking for awesome stuff which is mostly everything but every once in a while u can find the jawdropper, ill spend a few of the afternoons playing magic the gathering or hitting up a party, then i wake up and repeat. U might want to look into the pokemon league if u play or can do some pin trading, but there is so much to do im geeking out just thinking about it
For me, the fourth day will just help decompress the frantic running around trying to cram everything into three days. Um... Or I guess having one more day of that. XD

I think I'll use the fourth day to make the sun, moon, and the stars, start the earth rotating, and apply an axial tilt to encourage seasonal changes in the weather.

Oh crap, Riot is back this year??
The LoL tourney was cool but it pretty much ruined the 6th floor for me.
Their stage area was way too loud - I remember a couple panels being interrupted due to the noise.
It was pretty crowded too - most of the time the smaller back hallways up there were just about impassable.
Anyway, I don't think I will be doing anything 'new' with the fourth day but instead spending more time doing my usual things. Probably a few more hours in the expo hall.

A full fledged tourney like last Prime hasn't been announced or anything but some people have noted that the timing of PAX coincides quite well with the e-sports season for LoL as play-off games could take place during PAX but as for now we can only expect a Riot booth like at East until we get more information.
It kinda depends on what's going on that fourth day really. Usually the last day I spend touring the Expo Hall and checking out all the popular games since the lines are super quiet on the last day.
I'm thinking about bringing my MGS Risk board game and seeing if I can organize a game in the Tabletop area with fellow PAXers at some point.
Not sure how many sadists we have here that would torture themselves with a game of Risk though.

More boardgaming, more console gaming, more booths, more panels, more meeting people, more drinking and eating...
More post-PAX depression.
Might see if I can get in some time at TT freeplay, too.

As for me, more Enforcing.
Try to take over the pool area?
Given how bad my feet were killing me Day 3 of East, I'm guessing taking short walks and sitting a lot.
No, I'd b... errr... wait.
Elmer season, got it. I'm ready to go now.

All that. Except the tobacco.
Or... ya know... just play more boardgames.
