    dang, tried finding it with manual search on guidebook Android and no dice. *waits impatiently*

    The times for the panels seems off. The first panel on Friday starts at 6pm and Saturday begins at 4am.

    This got posted a few weeks ago, and it was just a copypasta of last year's with a PAX 2015 logo... I think it was just a placeholder, it got pulled but idk why it's back up again incomplete.

    Soon(tm).
    Also, please ignore the construction dust. As noted what you see now may not be its final form. Actually heck, we tweak stuff all the way up to and during the show.

    yeah I don't really think this is ready yet, but as donovankreed says, better than nothing? as long as there's not anything that's just plain wrong

    At this point it's better than nothing and from what I've seen via the iOS version, the schedule looks amazing. Looks like Square Enix will have a huge presence this year.

  • zealezeale Saint LouisRegistered User regular
    There's a lot of great panels this year! A bit disappointed that Undead Labs isn't an exhibitor though. I love those guys, plus I want to finish out the moonrise triple-pin thing they were doing!

    Downloaded the Android version from the scan code on the back of the badge. I hope the times are still in flux, FFXIV and Dragon Age two of my favorites at the same time. BRB cloning myself really quick...

  • IncreaseBlueIncreaseBlue Registered User regular
    Oh man, Elias Toufexis and the Deus Ex crew will be there! That is one line I will be firmly planted in.

  • forbiddenvoidforbiddenvoid Seattle, WARegistered User regular
    The Android version, at least, is still very buggy. But, the schedule seems to be mostly intact. Hurray for a Farty Troll tournament!

    Is gearbox not doing a panel this year. Did I miss it or is it not listed in the schedule yet?

  • DapperPumpkinDapperPumpkin Registered User regular
    Wow, Omegathon Final Round is scheduled for Sunday. I guess because PAX isn't on the long weekend this year?

    At South Gearbox had a room the entire weekend. They did a number of panels and ran multiplayer wiith people sawpping in and out the rest of the time. Maybe they are doing something similar.

    That's not Gearbox, that's Telltale games. I'm staying at the Westin so I will probably go to that one.

  • tinedizzletinedizzle Kelso, WARegistered User regular
    Randy pitchford from gearbox tweeted that their panel is on Friday it's just not online yet.

  • The_ReflectionThe_Reflection Registered User regular
    There's a panel on Monday about the ingame history of EVE Online. I've never played one second of EVE but I am very excited to hear about all the bullshit that has come out of that game.

    Yeah, it seems that the schedule is still somewhat patchy at this point- I'd think it'd be odd that the Omegathon is on the Sunday and not the Monday, personally as it's traditionally the closing ceremony/chance for G&T to say their goodbyes until the next PAX.

    Everything is starting to seem so... real. It still seems so far away, though. But I'll probably feel that way until I'm at SEATAC.

    A few bugs in the schedule are still being worked out. Omegathon final is Monday, the last day, per usual.

    The You Don't Know Jack tournament is listed as only taking two hours, but the past few PAXes it's taking at least 2.5-3 hours.

    Looks like both Game Grumps and Markiplier will both be at PAX, the mobile app had a huge update so a lot of new panels and events were included along with some fixes to the schedule. For example, they included the Storytime with Kim Swift along with shifting the finals of the Omegathon to Monday.

    Still some bugs, but it's getting there - I like how there are two Gabe & Tycho Q&As overlapping with each other and Kim Swift. They just tweeted to grab the Guidebook for an early look.

    After their official tweet I'm seeing a lot more events posted like the Witcher panel on Sunday *squeals internally*

    O h, man. If that turns out to be true it'll solve a huge dilemma. I was worrying it'd be on Saturday again, in which case I'd have to miss it because I have tickets to the MBMBAM show.

  • LairdLaird Registered User regular
    So is that the full program schedule or will it be updating some more?

    I would assume today's update is the complete version (aside from a couple bugs here and there). Schedule changes can always happen at any point, though.

    Also, it would appear that the web version is finally online! Check it out here: https://guidebook.com/guide/40130/

    Did anybody else notice there is a "Witcher 3 Lounge" on the map?
    k2o7obuahl3e.png
    It's in the public seating area that used to be the Rock Band lounge (and I believe one of the few publicly accessible "PAX" places).

    so that means no loud music in my ear all con long? (sorry work in the Coral for SJG and the Rock band got to be loud sometimes)

    In the letter that came with the badges, the first change tells us the queue room has been eliminated and that space has been evenly distributed throughout the halls so we will have more elbow room with the same amount of exhibitors.

    Comparing the map to last year shows that is not really the case. There is clearly more exhibitors added and most of the layout of the booth numbers are very close to last year. There is some slight space added, but nowhere near the amount if the queue room space had been distributed evenly.

    I know the maps are not to scale so I will reserve judgement until I actually experience the space, but on paper it doesn't look much roomier.

    Like you actually believe it was going to make the hall and less crowded. I expected better from you :)

    But yeah, I don't think they are making hings better with no que line, just making us have to stand outside in the morning and discourage the early line waiting. I can't wait to see how this whole que part of it goes...

    Comcast had a booth one year. There are booths like that every year. They tend to be treated like pariahs, and the ultra-bored people staffing them will likely be really grateful to talk to anyone.

    Does anyone know what the PAX Rising booth is on ExpoHall2? I've never seen it before and it has it's own logo.
