I will FAIL at any PC game round. PLEASE PLEASE have the 360 version of Left 4 Dead! PLEASE!
Beware the Ladykiller PC FPS round...
Or, you could get stuck with Peggle for the PC round and not have to worry about it.
I was all kinds of ready for an FPS round. But no. Peggle.
Fuck Peggle. Fuck Peggle. Fuck Peggle.
My ideal omegathon would have been something like this:
Chance round: Yahtzee
Wii round: Cooking Mama Cook Off
PC round: Unreal Tournament
Rhythm round: Rock Band
Jenga round: Jenga (lol)
Puzzle round: Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo or Tetris Attack
Final round: real life PING PONG
but, of course, we can't always get what we want :P
In any case - better start practicing! Good luck everyone!

I apparently am an Omeganaut. I still really don't believe it, but I recognized Gabe's voice and the email asking my infos looks pretty legit. Gotta get a 1200x1200 pixel headshot of me now, hrm...
I agree, every ten minutes I look up and think, Hey wait a second, I'm going to be an omeganaut.
I really hope the rythm game is Beatles rockband, because at least, I know those songs.

Well, it didn't help that I was still half asleep when I got the call, so I'm sure I didn't sound too excited when I got it. I actually almost didn't pick up the phone, because it said restricted caller and I was thinking it might be phone spam. Even though I had been reminded by friends that the Omeganauts were being selected today, I didn't realize it was the 5th. Anyway, I picked it up, and it was Gabe so I was like, "uh, okay". Thing is I'm so busy this summer, that I really haven't had much time to even think about it yet. In a couple weeks, it'll probably become more real. Right now I'm just perfecting my game face for the press photos. Figuring out my greatest gaming moment is going to take some thought as well...
Anyway, even if I get blown out of the water in the very first round of competition, I think it'll be pretty fun. Totally not what I was expecting, but hey, I love PAX, so this'll just be one more thing that will be really amazing about.
I was half-asleep and watching an old MST3K episode when I saw a private number calling. The main reason I answered was my old editor got a job at real paper (I work at the O'Colly, Oklahoma State University's college paper) and I thought she might be calling me from her work number about some end of the summer stuff. I honestly didn't realize calls were going out.
Anyway, I was getting stuff together to send in for press credentials today, and now I kind of am the news.
Darn I was kinda hoping I'd get that magic phone call, only problem is that I put my home number which I never answer and I don't have my own Cell. Oh well something tells me I wouldn't have lasted long anyways
thing is my mom was the person who recieved the call, She had been getting a lot of phone spam so she only picked up the phone to tell them to stop calling... and as it turns out the call was for me.

Hey I found this thread over google, and I would like to inform you guys that I got the call.
I am an omeganaut, and I probably am going to be freaking out over what games to practice until the schedule comes out.
A fake prox approaches! I shall duel you for the title, good sir, in a game of I win you lose!

We will decide the winner over a fair game of rock paper scissors!

I have the list of Omeganauts, when my life isn't freaking busy (i.e. when I'm at work) I'll post them. I just have the names though, so for most of you, you'll need to point yourselves out if you want your forum handle associated.
Of course, some of you (like Bob Jackass and eye-shuh), I already know who you are.
Well, I sent off my headshot and everything today for the press package. Still finding it difficult to believe I got selected out of tens of thousands of people going. I got asked by a friend just a two days ago how lucky I felt, and I replied "not really". I guess I was wrong!
Ahh yeah ladies! We're gunna get females in the top two, right? RIGHT?!
Also, am I the only one from Seattle?
mud wrestling final round?
:v:
Anddddd that's why women feel so welcomed into the gaming community. Funny that someone with a forum name of tr0tsky should be so quick to marginalize!

Is there a wild card spot for the Omegathon? Runner up last year, card drawn winner, then 18 from pre-sales?
If not then grats to the contestants you lucky SoB's!

But seriously, I understand where you're coming from.
Am I the only one from the east coast?
Also, how many years have you other omeganauts been coming to pax? This is the first year for me.
Yeah, it's my first year too. I wanted to go to a con this year and my friend asked me if I wanted to go to pax with him and his brother. Glad I did now!

An Omeganaut and you live in Hawaii?! Dang! Welcome to the Omeganaut Brotherhood, or as I call it, the "Bromegahood".

I think you're forgetting all of the Omega sisters in the house.
(who are going to kick your ass!)
It's a gender-neutral brotherhood. More like a personhood.

To be fair, I probably would've suggested mud wrestling for the final regardless of the sex of the competitors. Who doesn't like mud wrestling?

Yup, that's it. Unless someone drops out between now and then like happened last year. Not very likely though.

ATTENTION: THIS IS A JOKE POST, FOR FUNNIES
Ovbiously you guys need to fight.
I got +2, whom I need to get to help me practice.
I'm going for not being embarrassed, and possibly not being eliminated in the first round.
Thanks for the welcome!
Also, how many years have you other omeganauts been coming to pax? This is the first year for me.
cry on my shoulder, for I too am weeping from neglect.
Yeah, it's my first year too. I wanted to go to a con this year and my friend asked me if I wanted to go to pax with him and his brother. Glad I did now!
