It's that time of year again: PAX is happening in two days and the Spiral Game Studios ambassadors and I are gearing up to represent Orion. There's a lot of potential for growth as a developer over these three days, and as such I am doing my utmost to prepare for the event. That being said, I still feel woefully unprepared as I busy myself cramming every last gadget and piece of electronic equipment into a bag.
It's my second year, and I still feel like I haven't properly planned for the event. I'm more grounded this year than I was last year, I know what to expect. Rachael and I are planning on hitting the larger panels (the keynote, the Q&A, D&D with Wil Wheaton) as well as spending adequate amounts of time on the expo floor. I'm going to try to make my way upstairs a few times for the sake of Magic the Gathering with friends and there's no way in hell I'm missing Jonathan Coulton again this year.
Seeing as how I plan on spending so much time in line with my fellow gamer this year, I thought I'd spice things up a bit. My laptop is coming with me as are my Xbox 360 controllers and a wireless receiver. I packed that thing with every last good NES, SNES, and N64 game I could find and I even spent the night setting up controller configurations for specific games. This means that the time spent waiting in line will now be spent playing Mario Kart and Goldeneye instead... Yea, life IS sweet!
