The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
The exhibition floor plan is up! Where are you going 1st, 2nd, 3rd?

Here is the exhibition hall floor plan.
I am planning on visiting Nvidia first. I work for GPUReview.com and I want to spend some time with them and ask them some questions. It is in the back of the hall as well so it won't be very busy.
Then I am heading to Sierra/Vivendi in hopes of seeing some stuff on the Black Box games and Left 4 Dead.
Then I will visit whatever of my favorites I can.
Where are you guys gonna go?

4. Repeat 2 and 3 until the weekend ends.
My thoughts exactly. But add White Wolf
Just about where you are. I plan on hitting Whitewolf booth pretty hard. And the Wizards of the Coast area with a vengeance.
Damn, this is gonna be a fun weekend.
This is why I have underlings, carefully programmed to see each booth for me, and record the experience.
Honestly every year I just take enough time to go once around the floor.
I'm not much of a fanboy, I have a general interest in everything, and that could be my undoing. Really, I'm just trying to plot the area where I will inevitably collapse from overload.
Actually, here's a question: where am I sure to get the most schwag? I.E., which booths are sure be handing out free stuff?
second, i'll make a lap, seeing what catches my eye.
third, I'm going to try to find a way to warp space and time, so that Rockstar and Harmonix are right next to eachother, facilitating me (hopefully) going back and forth between GTAIV and Rock Band for long periods.
Nvidia
Dolby
Nintendo
Rockstar
Playstation
Are we given maps at the door?
That said, Nvidia, then Dolby, then PAX merch, then Bungie Store.
Get the PAX 2008 Countdown widget and while away your sad, pathetic life watching it tick down the hours to PAX '08!

Maps will be in the official program.
PAX Merch
Any place that looks like it will be doing raffles or handing out swag
Nintendo (probably covered above)
Whatever else catches my fancy
After that, PAX Merch definitely (will be bringing extra money this time around). I'll stop by both Upper Deck and Wizards for their tabletop stuff.
Last on the definite list (ie: stuff I'm don't know exactly what they'll have), stop by Mega 64 booth. I hope they bring along the RE4 merchant.
7. Rockstar
8. ww
9 Turbine cause it sounds cool?
Speaking of WotC, Ive always thought a cool piece of swag would be a Magic card with Gabe's art on it, probably involving the Cardboard Tube Samurai. Even though I dont play Magic anymore it would still be neat.
Yeah, but that is why there is the PA CCG from Sabretooth games (Who will be there btw). They have their own set of cards for the Universal Card Game system. All with Gabe's art on it. I plan on buying some while I am there.
Where ever looks coolest
*edit to indicate singular-- not plural*
2. Nvidia booth to see if I can score a free graphics card/promo stuff.
3. Get me some pocky and see if they have any domo kun stuff from the candy booth.
4. every other booth I'm interested in (pretty much the entire place)
Via Joystiq. http://www.joystiq.com/2007/06/27/udons-art-of-capcom-300-page-artbook-available-this-summer/
Udon should have this groovy 300 page Capcom art book at PAX! If you want it this summer, you will have to get it from Udon at a convention like the Anime Expo or PAX. The book will be available at stores in the fall. Udon is located on the bottom left of the floor plan btw.

Most other games that will be there ive already played at work :P
And just visit friends that will be working at nvidia, xbox360, and flying lab booths.
1.)nVidia - so I can see how pathetic my 8800GTX will become in the near future
2.)Harmonix - If I have my way I'll be spending lots of free time cuddling up to a Rock Band drumkit.
Outside of those two, I have no real plan.

I want to go over to the THQ booth and tell them they suck.
Seriously though it is kinda cool that there are Educational Exhibitors there to help people get more interested in getting into the industry... just another thing that makes PAX definately NOT an E3 clone.
2. Mega 64
3. Nintendo
That's my list. If Harmonix has Rock Band there, I won't be able to control my excitement.
Yeah, so? :P
Just tell them you have heart problems, an injured knee, an injured back, failed a psych exam, or had surgery on a part of you required for walking and "It just hasnt been the same since" :P
Oh god there's so much stuff, it's like an eight-year-old deciding what they want for christmas.
Because they have enough budget to buy all of PAX and turn it into a recruitment fair if they wanted.
also this.
They paid the most maybe?
Mega 64 is going to be there? That's awesome.
