All the good stuff happens in Seattle the day before PAX.
Pre-PAX Dinner, Pub Crawl, 2nd day of the Magical Mystery Tour. Why would anybody wait until Friday to show up in Seattle?
OMGpewpewpew was funtimes. Pretty sure I bruised something near the end there, but I claim moral victory for surviving point blank for 2.~ minutes against two people in that vampire game.
Those of us taking the Geekhound Bus down Thursday morning will also be meeting up for lunch in Seattle. We'll be setting those plans in stone (time/location) once we arrive. Basically the lunch will be about 20-30 mins after we arrive to give people time to check in and hit up the early registration desk first.
My friend Jan had the lowest score...but we all did fairly terrible :P I think I was one behind him.
Mini Putt was fun. I still question their course "PAR", seeing as first place in our game was 12 over. Worm was one behind Jan so he was the top forumer, tr0tsky was 3 back. The rest of us were decidedly farther back. I was 27 over par (damn you hole 10!).... and still wasn't in last place. lol.
I suspect on Abbotsford Raid night we will have an epic battle between Tr0tsky and Worm for forum supremacy.
Laser Tag was pretty sweet, though next time will have to try to break our record of septupling the other teams score. :winky:
If you would like to attend, please post in this thread indicating so. It is by no means mandatory, but it will make my life much easier. I'll be approaching Jim with our 'final' number on Thursday afternoon so that we can get the right amount of patties/weiners/buns.
That being said, lots of people dropped by last year at the last minute and it all still worked out. Come on down!
I still haven't heard anybody post a game they'd really like to play. He's got a pretty good collection, but I want to make sure he has enough copies for multiplayer. If there is a game you would absolutely MUST play (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii) then please bring it.
To Absinthe:
Please update the OP with the event name. It's been the "Night of Video Games!" since page six! :P
Also, X1Zero indicated that he would be attending in the other Canadian thread. He'll bring forum badges.

I vill be there sportin' ma motorbike... count me in for sure...
Too bad it doesn't start a couple hours earlier...
I could just go there straight from work which is only about 10 minutes away. Otherwise, MR is another 20 mins away...

I also had the OP updated as I have one person coming with me.
So yes, myself and one other are attending and I am supposed to bring something important...but I just can't remember what that was :winky:
As for game suggestions:
X360: Call of Duty 4, CoD World at War, Halo 3, Left 4 Dead
Wii: Sports (esp. Golf!), Mario Kart, Super Smash Bro, Mario Party

^.^

Laser tagl was awesome, my legs are going to be unhappy with me tomorrow. I won a slushie though for surviving the rampaging zombie horde. Good times.
It was awesome to see you guys again for the first time in about a year, and to the newbies, it was super fantastic to meet you.. I had a lot of fun.
It was great to meet everyone for the first time. See you all at Jimz.
Oh and a huge thanks for the ride back to the SkyTrain. Saved me at least 30min.
4pm.
Yeah way to tell everyone last minute what time its going to be. The fact I had to text you is lame.
Check the Pre-PAX Events listed in this thread.

It was posted further down in the thread.
Of course... I never pass down the opportunity to pwn some noobs at Mario Kart.
I'll see about getting myself to the Games Night and FTW.
Indeedy. One of the most entertaining movies I've seen, actually.
Inglourious Basterds
That'll teach me to skip a pre-pax vancouver event.
That'll teach you indeed. Although I didn't know playing Star Wars could give you a wrinkle. So that's something.
Yes, apparently for me everyday tasks require immense concentration and effort.

who is going to be eating wings so hot they need to sign a waiver?
We're getting Worm a plate of them, seeing as it'll be his birthday and all. :winky:
They aren't even that hot. Although we've decided that if we eat them all night they might be.
Now back to your regularly scheduled events thread.
Moe, don't you have something better to do like lock joke threads? :P
