The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.

I have an all new, albeit more relevant question for you!

I know this is probably the wrong audience to ask, since the PAX forum members are pretty hardcore about preregging.

Some guy.

    There should be an option for those poor desperate souls that have seen the light and are trying to buy a pass still.

    But yeah pre-regged in under 24 hours after it went up.

    Do you typically sell more preregistration passes or do day-ofs make up the majority?

    Pre-reg accounts for the majority, definitely.

    I have a question for you Khoo:
    Does the Penny Arcade office ever sleep?

    They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.

    I've said the same thing-- I really wonder sometimes-- As Jerry has said before "the night time is the right time"

    Between SDCC and PAX, i put myself on a very strict sleep regime, which is 8 hours of awake time followed by 1.5 hours of nap time.... and this goes on for about 45 days. So the last time i slept was at 10:30 PM and I woke up at midnight, and then i will go back to bed at 8 AM and wake up at 9:30 AM... wash rinse repeat.

    It's really the only way to get everything done!

    Holy crap. Fuckawesome.

    Do you hibernate after these 45 days are over?

    Hotel bound on PAX Saturday,
    I exclaimed "Khoo is my Sensei!"
    So if memes make great shirts,
    And Pod Six is Jerks,
    Then Moe, Khoo and I had our day.

    It's actually not that bad once you get used to it - there's a definitely an adjustment curve at the beginning though.

    Do you find that you crash at the end of it? It might seem good, but aren't you robbing Peter to pay Paul in terms of the "Sleep Bank" (for lack of a better term)? You'd be in some pretty serious sleep debt by the time you were done.

    A friend's ex-girlfriend does the same thing. She would sleep for 45 - 90 minutes at a time. I forget what the specific name is for that kind of sleep cycle, but I didn't some reading on it and it all boils down to the first couple of weeks. After that, your body adjusts to it rather well.

    This would also explain why you rolled into the PAX chat at 5AM EDT that one time, lol.
