    I'm gonna ask here too, cause I'd like an answer as quick as possible so I can order :)

    If I were to want to order a diceland set in order to learn the game so that I won't completely suck in the first round of the tourney, which set should I order?

    Damn i really like Ferrari, but they are letting the fans down because other car companies sell more cars than them!

    Good luck, man. That's a tough set of games. If you have any free time between rounds and you want to practice some Katamari, hit me up.

    Will do.

    Overall I'm not too upset with the games. I wish I knew what diceland was. I wish Smash Bros. was included. I wish the game could pick up my voice in karaoke revolution.

    Heh...








    I don't stand a chance.

    Myself, I think the inclusion of The Darkest Of The Hillside Thickets is just rocking. The theatre's a bit of a step up from the arcade parking lot they rocked at NecroWombiCon '03, but they'll manage. I'm not going to miss that concert.

    Pure awesome.

    I had thought I was one of the few people in the world who had heard of them, let alone love them.

    PAX Ultra Update

    Mon, August 01 2005 - 12:44 PM
    by: Tycho

    The concerts and Omegathon games have been finalized. On Friday Night, the show look a little sumpin' like:

    # The Video Game Pianist - yes, the startlingly talented "blindfold" guy you saw in all those videos - will get this party started right.
    # The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets are an unbelievably entertaining rock outfit from up north that draws inspiration from the surreal, verbose horror of H. P. Lovecraft. Yes, I'm being serious.
    # Optimus Rhyme, a local hip-hop institution, will deliver us from evil because theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
    # The Neskimos will also be "up in," with a unique approach to eight-bit tunes you can check out here, here, or here. The last one, especially - you won't be disappointed.

    Then, on Saturday Night:

    # Conney Lin will again be performing a medley of Final Fantasy tunes arranged by Michael Huang.
    # MC Frontalot, author of the Penny Arcade Theme Song, in addition to many other songs, all of which are great.
    # MC Chris needs no introduction, or at any rate he needs very little.
    # The Minibosses concert last year was a moving, nigh spiritual experience. I've honestly never seen or felt anything like that.

    From the main page today...

    I was intrigued by the description, do they have a website?
