I've been stuck at work with the stupidest grin on my face since the call.
I expect this mixture of stress & excitement will continue for the next two months.
Yeah, I'm completely stumped on the accomplishment question as well.
I can barely remember the game of Rocket League 20 mins ago, let alone the past decades of gaming.
WAIT. Now that the hype and excitement of being picked has dropped by 2%, one thought comes to mind. With requirements to having be at omegathon events, how will queuing for panels & shizzles work
Also my best gaming accomplishment is pretty easy. Not feeding more than 10 kills in dota.

@zerzhul as far as I know, at this point, US OMG's only get priority for omegathon rounds (regardless of if they were eliminated), anything else is left to theater mgmt's discretion.
new OMGs: check your inboxen for an unofficial but awesome thing.
I've gotta say, I feel extremely blessed to be a part of this.

Omeganauts indeed only get early access to the Omegathon events, otherwise it is the same as an attendee pass. Its been that way back as far as 2011 based on the old badge access sheets I can find. It did used to give early access to all panels, but that policy changed a while ago. Anyway, congrats all, whether you win or lose, you should be in for a great experience.

Ahh, ok, good to know! That sometimes is ambiguous!
Side note: I still feel like this isn't really happening, it's still kind of surreal. Except that I randomly got super excited out of nowhere last night and couldn't get to sleep. It might be a long few months...

I keep forgetting about it after a little while, then getting the giggles when I remember I got picked.
I'm the exact opposite this year. I got organised, booked a hotel in the city and managed to convince 9 other friends to make the trip. I'm sure they can cheer for you too Kram, just not as much as me. :P

I'm super excited too!
I too have the biggest urge to practise but I have no idea what for!
Anyone know if they'll post the events (minus the secret final round of course) like they do for the other Pax's?
Seriously, though, I'm super excited, this is going to be so much fun. Good Luck, all!

Calling the winner, right now.
Can we have more than 3 days to fill this in next year so I have a chance of finding it before the form closes?

PAX East 2012 Omeganaut. Awesomest. Time. Ever.
THIS!
Also, WOOOOOOOOOOOO I'm in!
Yesssss. I also don't know what to practice. I'm just restarting destiny so I get some console fps experience again haha
Games get announced a month before PAX right?
Did they ask for you by gamertag? or does your mum not know your name? =P
Haha :P nah it was because of the American accent
