    While I agree that Guitar Hero is a shoe-in for the Omegathon, we're not sure yet that it will be one of the chosen games. Right? Or did I miss something?

    It's needed for the Omegathon(probably), but you should also just get it.

    It is an awesome game.

    My fingers are sore from practicing Guitar Hero. I think that will be an awesome event just to watch. A bunch of Omeganauts up on stage rockin out . My theory on games is:

    Round 1: Diceland
    Round 2: Double Dash
    Round 3: Unreal Tournament / Wolfenstien
    Round 4: Guitar Hero
    Round 5: Tetris DS / Lumines
    Round 6: Uhhh...dont really kn ow but frogger seems to come to mind every time I think of it.

    Thats just what Ive guessed by where each round is being held and the past. I could be totally wrong though lol.

    Neither was Katamari, but then again this is the final round. Frog Bog maybe? Kung Fu? Mario Bros?(Not Super Mario, just Mario Bros)Hell, a dream come true and they do Wii Sports? :P

    Yeah, the final round has to be something directly competitive because there are only two people left.

    And it's definately going to be something old. I doubt they're going to go into the NES yet. I dunno what they'll get though.

    It had just not be Tetris or Dr. Mario yet. Those have to be reserved for when I finally become an Omeganaut.

    The first video game tournament we did for our radio show, there was this greasy stoner kid who came to play and he's all "oh man, it's all about Halo" and I told him "well, you don't know yet" because each round of our tournament was a different surprise game. He replied, "man, you can't have a video game tournament without Halo". I chuckled to myself when he got smoked hardcore in the first round at Dr. Mario.

    Haha damn, I would rock some Dr. Mario. That used to be the game I played for 45 minutes a day on lunch when I was a copier setup tech (and yes, that job sux0rd hard).

    I'm down with the "Rock Paper Scizzors" match. That could be entertaining. Maybe we could follow that up with Tic Tac Toe and Connect 4. Now we're talking some serious gaming! 8o)

    And Eugene is the Meth capital of the world. Well, this whole area really is where it is made, so yeah you can tag it to Springfield/Elmira/Veneta as it is more rural there. My dad works in the police department here (not an officer, works in the office), and meth busts are incredibly common here. Not just using/carrying/selling, but also making. It's pretty amazing. We have tracks, grass seed (well, to the north), and meth! We're so diverse.

    Ooh, global thermonuclear war! I LOVE that game! Let me get out my potassium iodine pills... Mmm... +5 radiation resistance!

    I thought, "Surely, today is the day when they announce the games. Less than three weeks until the event, after all." Well, looks like I was mistaken.

    Maybe they won't announce the games at all, prior to the con, and have it be round after round of surprise. Would make for more drama, at any rate.

    HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THE PRIZE.

    The games list is good news for me, too. The only one I haven't played much of is Mario Kart DS, but that's just 'cause I don't have a DS. I've played other incarnations, so I'll hopefully be able to adjust. My training regime starts as soon as I get off work.

    A FUCKING SCION.

    Oh, also, a question: For Guitar Hero, what songs and what difficulty? I've got my fingers crossed for "extreme," but I doubt that'll happen.

    I think the game choices are awesome this year. Best so far.

    Boy do I wish I was an Omeganaut. If I got to it, I would own the Q2 round. An age of 31 years can have its advantages.

    Guitar Hero was a given. Should be awesome to watch, just like karaoke last year.

    Good luck, Omeganauts!
