Keep in mind that a large portion of Central Washington is on fire right now. This rain is going to be a godsend for the fire fighting effort there.

Oh yes I'm well aware of it. Not to mention the fires are spreading rapidly due to the winds and heading over the border into BC :/ Trust me, rain ANYWHERE on the west coast of the continent is much needed right now (especially in CA). Just stinks it had to start when PAX did

 

[krae_man]

Just landed.

Waiting to get on a shuttle for the id@xbox event and on my way there i saw the htc vive truck it is about three blocks away, i post an exact address when i get back. I got an extra Monday pass if anyone needs it just pm me.

how big is the venue? I'll probably be stopping by there later tonight when the rock band stuff gets up

If you do that, you might have to wait for people to leave. Line already has 50 in it. No idea the fire capacity.

 

[krae_man]

Giant Bomb line is huge.

 

[BlazinAm]

Giant Bomb line is huge.

Still at the Microsoft event wish I could go but I haven't even played cuphead and Halo.

 

[krae_man]

Good morning everyone.

Annex line has maybe 50 people in it if you're deciding where yo line up.

 

[luckyboyceo]

50 people already?! Are they giving away flat screens or something?

 

[krae_man]

Previous years the main queue room would have hundreds by now.

 

[Curler]

Maybe I will line up early after all...

 

[Moofers]

I'm attending tomorrow. Where's the best place to line up if you want to get in the Expo Hall first thing? Doing away with Queue Hall has thrown me for a loop. I have no idea where to go.

waiting for the inafune talk. timing is awful, no room to wait for anything else

I decided to pass on that. His last 2 panels were great though. You'll probably get some free stuff.

Already lines for that?? Well guess I'll pass...

 

[jediyoshi]

no lines yet, but there's no point lining up for anything else if everything opens at 10 and you give yourself an hour buffer for 1130. I'm solo for the morning so I have nowhere else to loiter

 

[krae_man]

Already lines for that?? Well guess I'll pass...

Hydra theater is tiny. Stuff like that panel gets packed quick. You need to line up an hour early for things like that.

Hydra gets streamed that's why popular panels end up there.

Waiting is almost over. Already got my intel button. Come on something good.

 

[krae_man]

Already did morphius and I only have to wait for 5 more people to play Mirrors Edge Catelyst.

Where's you line up before 10 to get into the Morpheus stuff so fast?

i would like to know where u lined up as well

 

[Moofers]

I'd also like to know what's in the swag bags! Need to know if they are worth the effort...

Not sure if this is the place to ask for this, but does anyone know if Nintendo has any swag this year? I'm headed to PAX on Sunday and want to know if it's worth heading to Nintendo right away.

Ummmm they have candy at the booths by the escalator. Still need to check out their main booth. Also FINALLY got my internet working on my phone in here! So much interference...

where is mirror's edge?!

Yeah that doesn't look worth trekking over to the hotel for. I saw a tweet saying everyone can get a copy of Gunvolt for PC on a hard disk (lol) but I don't see that in the pic you posted. Must be elsewhere?

 

[Curler]

I checked out Nintendo's main booth and saw nothing for swag. I'm surprised. Although I did hear something about collecting stamps or something but that might have just been for the candy.

 

[Trouble]

ohai

Looks like I'm going tomorrow, just bought an extra ticket from coworker. I live about a half mile from the expo center and I've never been to PAX.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Coming Saturday and leaving Monday.
Are there any big games shown there that are worth waiting in line for (if not getting there early enough)?

 

[friskykillface]

At comic con they had a ticket system for playing their games , for every 3 tickets you got a t shirt
That's probably what they are gonna do from now on

I wish I was at pax prime

Alright, thanks. At PAX East I got Splatoon pins from them which were really cool, and I was hoping they would do something just as awesome. Oh wellz.

 

[Rodney McKay]

My girlfriend and I are going tomorrow and I had a question for anyone that has attended today so far: how are the lines for the HTC Vive, Oculus, and/or Morpheous stuff?

We're really interested in the VR stuff (ESPECIALLY the Vive stuff if they have the virtual rooms set up) and we're wondering how long we'll have to wait in line to try them out.

 

[krae_man]

where is mirror's edge?!

Microsoft booth.

i would like to know where u lined up as well

Where's you line up before 10 to get into the Morpheus stuff so fast?

Annex line. Got in line little after 8 and there was maybe 30 people in front of Me. Had no wait for morphius, 15 minutes for Mirrors Edge then maybe 30 for Tomb Raider. By 11:30am I'd played all 3.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Is the Vive even playable for non-press? I saw the trucks outside but I kind of assumed it was press-only.

Anyone know?

 

[Blues1990]

Are there any good freebies at the Capcom booth?

 

[Curler]

Are there any good freebies at the Capcom booth?

Yup
Show them you pre-ordered SFV and get a lanyard. Also posters. If you win the SFV tournament you get a special limited PS4 faceplate, which I guess is a freebie if you make it.


Oh and update with the Nintendo thing. Some Mario Maker stations have pins and if you find 3 Chibi Robo stickers you get a keychain. I can't find the one at the Nintendo booth though Anyone else find it?

 

[krae_man]

Public 10-8 as far as I know.

Anyway. Doing lara croft go and unpax parties tonight.

 

[dLMN8R]

Mirror's Edge sure is pretty. Looks fantastic.

I played some Battleborn, it's at some booths that aren't the big booth with massive lines. Can easily walk up and play it without waiting. Maybe the Logitech area?

Plants vs. Zombies 2 is also kinda fun. But still feels early.

 

[BlazinAm]

where is the unpax party?

I think you need to make reservations for the Vive in advance though.

 

[luckyboyceo]

I think you need to make reservations for the Vive in advance though.

Yep, you do.

They said all reservations today were booked by about 11AM. I imagine they'll go even faster tomorrow.

 

[BlazinAm]

Yes there are 86 slots at the truck sooo good luck.

You have to arrive in the morning and schedule an appointment for that day.

 

[krae_man]

Axis pioneer square. You need a ticket though.

Anybody go to the gearbox panel? What did they give away?

 

[ElephantEyelash]

Did anyone check out the Fallout exhibit? I walked by and it seemed like people were just waiting in line to have their pictures taken for a Fallout postcard. Is there a playable demo or video behind closed doors or something?

My friend and I went there first thing this morning, but the line was already huge so we ended up going to play Battleborn instead. I hadn't paid any attention to that game and it really surprised me. It was really fun. We played on a team with some blond reporter girl from IGN and then she interviewed us after. I doubt any of that footage got used though.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Yep, you do.

They said all reservations today were booked by about 11AM. I imagine they'll go even faster tomorrow.

I may have to try Sunday then.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Man, I sat next to one of the main scalpers on the bus home tonight, and he said the street prices for Saturday passes tomorrow are going to START at $220! He said Sunday will be about $120.

Hope ya'll got your passes already! If you didn't (and you're willing to be patient), someone will most certainly come around with a substantially better price, so don't give up hope.

 

[Karak]

Amazing time and got to meet some random channel fans. Saw Sword Coast which was amazing, Rainbow Six(much improved), Division really fun but does have the expected downgrade, Gigantic which was really fun to play, had an hour long interview with the owner of Harebrained Schemes, and we walked our damn asses off.
Also the Indie game Kingdom was amazing.
