Hey guys/girls,
I just wanted to say that I had a great time meeting all of you and competing. I think it would be cool if people would just post their thoughts about being an Omeganaut in here. Also, I got to say goodbye to some of you but obviously it was crazy after the final round so to anyone I missed, I hope you had or are having a safe trip home and hope to see you next year. Also, when Rock Band comes out, everyone needs to get it so we can battle on Live...must...get...revenge...

Oh but of course. As one drummer to another, I believe that our fates our intertwined now. The Photoshop Heroes will always rise up to the challenge.

My vid of Round 4 's audio came out all distorted on my tiny hand held camera as we were watching it tonight. I hope someone else got a good filming of it, or that it's on the DVD, cause it was awesome.
A few props to some random 'nauts:
Ryan--mega props to you of course for pulling out the victory--enjoy TGS!
Ben--I think me and Ryan were probably making you more nervous backstage before round 4, but we were just trying to make sure we went out and were as relaxed as possible. If we had to go down, it would be while rocking out! In the end, you were clutch. It was a ton of fun chatting with you this weekend--I'm looking forward to the PAX -related MNC material.
oh and...I can't believe we both missed that drop down move in Puzzle Quest for so long in game 3. I think that game will give me nightmares. All in all though, I had a blast playing with you...we just kept groaning at each other as the skulls would drop. and where was my BLUE MANA??!?!?
JDark--three words
--the Hair Move--
Classic! I will echo Dave and say respect for stepping up and rocking those vocals out.
Chelsea--from the first moment meeting at the top of the escalator and then walking up to get our badges, you and your +1 let me know by your open, frinedly nature that I had already made some new friends at PAX. Thanks so much for that. Also, props for your jenga skills! I'll be uploading team B's match sometime this week. It's AWESOME. I couldn't help but applaud for some of your moves, even though it meant I had to go next!
TonyB--you and Dave made my most feared round, Quake, an enjoyable experience. It really did feel like a LAN party--a couple of old buds razzing each other about the back and forth fragging that was going on. Props of course for your role as one of the Photo Shop Heroes, and you and I know the sinking pain that is elimination in round 5. We share a scarred psyche...;)
Finally, Dave--what can I say man. As the runner up from '06, you had every reason to be confident, having done all of this once before. But you handled yourself with an friendly, easy going nature that put the rest of us at ease. Props for being the classiest Omeganaut in the bunch. Hit me up with your gamertag, and we'll get some Rock Band, Halo 3, or whatever up and running this fall.

Well, I'm off to work with a full blown case of convention-hangover. (Where you can't think of anything but the convention for several days afterward)
I have to agree with Ryan, meeting all of the Omeganauts was a total highlight for me. I don't really feel like I got a chance to talk with everyone as much as I would have liked but the people who I was able to talk to were awesome. Even though the Omeganauts are the only people standing between you and the final prize, you're all in it together. That's another great aspect of the event; so far in the two years I competed, almost everyone was super-cool about the whole thing. Before the first year I kind of wondered if people would be aloof because they didn't want to talk to their competition and become friends or whatever, but it was totally the opposite. Leeroy is a great guy and losing to him the first year somehow felt right; I mean, the guy survived to the final round in two Omegathons. If you've gone through one of them you know how stressful it can be and how lucky you sometimes have to get to make it through to any given round, so I give him all the credit in the world. I'm definitely pulling for Ben for next year to do the same. If you need some buddies to practice any of the rounds with when it starts to get close next year definitely hit me up. I'd love to help if I could.
And Brian, you know you're the man.

What a great group we had this year. I am so glad I had such stand up guys to compete with and had a blast doing so all the way to the end. I really need to get everyones e-mails so we can keep in touch and we definitely need to have a Rock Band rematch once it's out! Photoshop Heroes FTW!
Speaking of, anyone find a video of the Rock Band round? All I've seen is some Halo 3 footage.

P.S. I'm going to make a Photoshop Heroes banner, it HAS to be done.
Yeah, I want to see our band jamming out. BTW, if your a REAL proud member, make that banner a little bigger! (I think I went with size 5)

I was rooting for you from the shadows.

That's probably my favorite part about the Omegathon; even though you're competing with everyone else, you're all going up in front of a lot of people to prove that you deserve to win, and that fosters a lot of camaraderie I think. Anyway, I had a blast with you guys and I look forward to hooking up on Live with whoever wants to and seeing as many of you as possible next year. It's so far away!

Even if I got knocked out in the Girl Killer, I had the best time ever. I was so happy to get to spend time with a group of super nice people, and you know I'll be back at PAX next year. We'll have to have a '07 naut meetup/jenga game/rock off. Just no more Quake 3, evar.
I gotta say the best moment was snagging that point in Calling all Cars and hearing the crowd fucking explode behind me.
Gamertag on XBox is chelseabot, though right now I'm stuck to my metroid prime 3.
Funny.... cause it's true.
Gamertag on XBL is Thanda
I'll write more, but I have to run for now.
-Dave
I know. I think '07 might be the best PAX ever. What can top being an Omeganaut?
*Looks to Davertron and Dover*
Someone also suggested to me this week that we should try playing with two stacks of jenga blocks to start....craziness!
And I'm sooooo in for Rock Band tourney (I'm sure they'll have it). I'll have to have an alternate band ready for anything official, since Dover will probably be pretty busy rocking the n00b 'nauts from 08.
*Proud member of the Photoshop Heroes*
True, true. I'm hoping that I will have the love of the crowd on my side in 08. Kinda like Davertron did this year. I mean really, someone pulls out a Jenga block and there is applause, but if Davertron pulls out a block, the place turns into insanity!
Seriously though, my crew and I are already starting to put plans into motion for next year. We want it to be huge, not only for the site, but for us as well. Also, I will be doing everything in my power to become the 2008 Omegathon champion. It may require sucking dry the last remaining power of past Omeganauts, like stealing your ADAM, but I'm sure you will all be down.
When I get all of our video trimmed into watchable sizes (right now it's like 12 GB's per tape and we have 3 tapes worth), I'll start posting them on our website. I'll try and get the pictures up sooner.

I'm working crazy shifts at work, so it will be a while. High school football + Texas + news job = late nights.
Can I jump in as an alt? I mean, even if I didn't make it to that rock band round, I still pwn at guitar hero and I've actually played drums before.

I definitely felt the same way you did about the real battle in Quake 3 being between 8th and 9th place. I know I got within 2 frags of you more then once and thought I was going to pull out a victory. Guess there's no shame going out in the round everyone's been calling "The Girl Killer" right? (Granted, I'm not telling anyone here that)
Crose enough.
Ladykiller Round.
[10:24] * @BigRed-Worky cums the water
[12:32] <+prox> lawl you kickbanned me so hard my client crashed
What happened? (I left after the nervous girl knocked her tower down)
I agree too that next year is going to be pretty hard after being spoiled with our VIP passes this year. I know some of you guys are press and won't be too phased. We'll have to bug Travis and see if we can use our Omeganaut passes again next year.
For the sake of the '08 Omeganauts I hope Jenga isn't the first round again. I really thought I heard Travis say they'd never do it again cuz it took sooooooo long, but you never know I guess.
Well it was great meeting you guys. I hope to stay in touch. My XBox Live tag is Rex013. I'll post my Wii system ID up some time.

The thought of playing Jenga again does make my stomach crawl. Ugh. It matters not in the end though, I've made a vow to my crew and now to the Omeganaut class of 07 to get to the finals and take it all next year. The training will start earlier and be far more strenuous then this year. Must win Omegathon, must win Omegathon, must win.....
I'm creating a clip of the Calling All Cars round as I type this. It appears that my camera man only recorded my match, sorry! I'll see if I can post it on our website this Monday. If not, it will go up with a short clip of the end of the Quake round, and both Rock Band performances. Speaking of Rock Band, check out the sweet new pics that Tony_B made for the Photoshop Heroes. Nice work Tony, now you need to make a "Official Photoshop Hero groupie" pic for the rest of the forum members. ;-) Hey, I know some of the people out there would dig it.
Off topic here, jdarkson is that Gatsu as your avatar? If so, you earn an additional 15 cool points in my book. Rex, I believe that is a Corsair pilot as your avatar, do you play Starcraft still? If so, when are we hooking up for a 1v1 or whatnot?
