I have a few questions about these games that are there, i realize most people will call me a fool but i must ask less i feel even more dumb. First for like table top games such as 40k you have to bring your own guys or will you be able to rent or something them?
Second for PC games, i want to be sure that you don't have to bring your own shit and i want to know if there is any money you have to pay.
Third relates to the game in general i was wondering first how you register to play some of those games if anyone would want to be on a team with me for some of the games? i not sure how it works if for like counterstrike there are teams if like 1000 people sign up and from there it automatically makes like 200 teams of 5 randomly.
i would appretiate some help, also i was wondering if you had to pay for the tournements or no?

For the tourneys, you'd register when you registered for PAX or when you get to PAX. Could make your own team or whatever. Tourneys are free as well.
Dunno about the table top games though.
And if anything changes for this year, you'll find that out whenever the new site launches. All of this was for last year, but I'm sure it'll be the same again.
Also a lot of people got sick from sharing in the computer room.
I don' know if they got sick from sharing computers.
I think I am still sick from hiding in the shady area's watching GI JOE spoofs. I kick the bug but it keeps coming back.
Again thanks for the help i and i hope i can see all of you there if i can get shit together to go.
bah i hope i can find out some of this stuff i wouldn't mind playing warhammer 40k but i haven't had units for that in ages, also it might be fun to play d&d but that might take to much time to play.
However there were a lot of games played like Settlers of Catan, Diceland, Kill Doctor Lucky and other boardgames where you could walk up and sit down as long as there was space to play. The Tabletop games area was a lot more 'friendly' in that folks who showed up without gaming materials of their own could sit in on a boardagem designed for 3-8 players a lot more easily than keeping the same number of people entertained for the same amount of time on consoles or computers.
No money to pay, aside from your membership which gets you in the door in the firast place. You could bring your own PC and while many said they would, the room was about half empty as people failed to follow through on their promise to bring their PC.
Depends on the tournament. Some folks sign up as an entire team, and are ready to practice as soon as they find out what the games are to be. Folks looking for a team could post here, or look for a pick-up group on the day. Should be better organised this year with most of the bugs shaken out in PAX 04.
Nope. Once youre in the door, everything is free. However, it's free to everyone else as well so expect congestion and lines (and olks not showing up as they forgot they signed up for 3 things all happening in the next hour, and decide that NOW is the perfect time to go out to dinner and a movie...
Watching those with a bunch of guys was better than playing in the Counter-Strike tourneys.
Dungeons & Dragons v3.5 worldwide perpetual campaign.
I would probably play just one a day, and leave Hero Clix out.
Unglued?
I like the Unglued.
That would push me a little more in the direction of going to PAX this year (if there was multiplayer games going on, and casual).
Still not enough to get me to go yet, but it helps.
Unhinged. Even more craziness.
I still think we need a Duck Hunt tournament. Pair two players, have them play 5 rounds each in 2 Duck mode, preferably on different machines. Highest score wins. If you don't make it through 5 rounds, you're out. Tiebreakers are 1 round of 2 Duck. Lather, rinse & repeat until only 1 player remains.
OOO i have an idea, it isn't really a game but how about having that crazy Japaniese (sp?) guy there that beat Mario 3 in like 10 minutes, i would love to see that shit in person. OR hell just any Japanies person playing any video game would be awesome cause of how good they are... Uh don't mind the stereotyping.
He didn't do that all in one go, he used savestates and pieced it together.
"Hey, boys and girls! I'ma gonna beat this game in 10 minutes, okay?"
Alternativly, you could do it larger, 64 people split into 8 groups of 8 people. Winner of each group would move onto the Final 8. Final 8 could either be run one of the three ways...
A: Use their current drafted deck
B: redraft another 24 packs and play with just those
C: redraft another 24 packs and let them use any cards from the first draft and the redraft, giving them more to make a deck with.(I like this idea best, it would result in even more crazy deck possiblities and the final 8 could be pretty damned funny to watch)
6 boxes covers 9 drafts exactly, so you could buy a case for 438 dollars you could do that, and possibly buy a 7th single box for prizes(or have prizes be PAX prize points). The larger tournament gives a bigger incentive for the person running it(or charge 7 dollars each person to recoup the cost of 6 boxes, 8 dollars if you buy 7 to have packs as prizes) but you need more people to do it.
So, the question is, how many people would be interested? Maybe we need a seperate MTG thread... Id run it if I had more money and a little help setting up the brackets, but right now, Id certainly be willing to pay to play some Unhinged drafts, however theyre run.
MUNCHKIN!
Greatest game evar. Also, Chez Geek/Goth/Greek is pretty fun to play with a bunch of geeks. And graizur, just out of curiousity, what are your symptoms? I've been sick ever since I came back from PAX too.
Twitch Wed-Sun, 2-5pm CST
Plans are still being ironed out on specifics, but I think it's okay to say that systems will, like last year, be available for public use.
Speaking of Enemy Territory, who have I got to frag to get that on the event list? It's still a more popular multiplayer than any of the Battlefield 1942 variants and is designed for objective-based team play.
Again, though, last year I wasn't involved at all with running any of this, but from my understanding Lanwerx kept full control over their own room.
