Telltale Games

Is PAX the same thing as E3 with a different name?

*Icedhope* · 06/27/2012, 08:33 pm

Yes, and no. E-3 is more for the private sector and Pax is more of a festival than a industry showing.

coolsome · 06/27/2012, 08:35 pm

Ah I get it now thanks.

Yes we most certainly must do something! Dinner Friday night?

Heads up for those who don't regularly look at the blog or The Walking Dead forum, some word on Telltale's PAX plans:

*GuruGuru214* · 08/02/2012, 08:15 pm

Oh, this is going to be sweet.

I am starting to get a little bit excited.

My passes haven't arrived yet though, hurry up USPS!

*divisionten* · 08/02/2012, 08:23 pm

Maybe next year for me. I'm Working that weekend. >_<

Alcoremortis · 08/03/2012, 01:33 am

Ooh. This reminds me that I need to check ALL of the mail that comes to my house. I don't want to miss those passes.

Zeruis · 08/06/2012, 07:00 pm

I was only interested in going because of the Playing Dead live event. But the registration badges are sold out.

*GuruGuru214* · 08/06/2012, 08:45 pm

Yeah, they sold out in under half a day. I knew it was coming up and registered as soon as I knew it was open, and I still got shut out of the weekend badges and had to buy my three days separately at higher cost.

Ditto. My hotel of choice was booked out at that point too.

*GuruGuru214* · 08/07/2012, 03:17 am

I don't even know anything about the hotels out there. Icedhope pretty much handled that for me, him, and Fawful.

**puzzlebox** · 08/07/2012, 03:51 am

Schedule is up.

Well... the only nice and affordable hotel that I could get is a mile from the convention. So... yeah.

**puzzlebox** · 08/07/2012, 05:49 pm

Here are my (probably overly detailed) thoughts on the schedule... why yes, I do like to plan ahead.

I really only have a couple of absolute must-sees though. I am easily distracted by cool stuff other people are doing and/or shiny things.

Speaking of cool stuff, if anyone who can't go especially wants to see something in the exhibition hall, I'd be happy to take pics for you!

Friday

Have to choose between Story Time with Ted Price (the keynote address) and Idle Thumbs Podcast Live (starring Telltale's very own Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman, among others).
I'm interested in Community vs. PR: The Squabbling Siblings for a better understanding of how community management and PR interact. Runs directly after the sessions above, not sure if it's possible to make both. It also clashes with the Penny Arcade Q&A, but I don't mind missing that because I'd rather see the PA guys at the Make A Strip session on Saturday.
Tim Schafer will be present at the Double Fine Adventure Adventure! They're doing the first public screening of footage from the production documentary, and a Q&A session afterwards. I will be there with bells (or more likely a Double Fine Adventure backer badge) on.
I guess I'm pretty much obliged to attend Telltale's big session, Playing Dead Live. On the stage will be A.J. LoCascio and Gary Whitta, along with the aforementioned Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman. Somewhat intrigued by the "additional surprises to be announced".

Saturday

The Make A Strip session is good fun, pretty cool to see the process/banter as the Penny Arcade duo create the comic they'll publish on Monday.
Wil Wheaton is playing a live D&D game with the PA guys and Scott Kurtz. I want to see this.
The App Olympics could be amusing.
I like the idea of Beyond Borders: Global Game Controversies, a more intellectual look at the portrayal of international conflicts in games.
This year the Omegathon quarter final round is Dance Central 3 and serves as the "warmup act" for the Saturday night concert (featuring Jonathan Coulton, Paul & Storm and MC Frontalot).

Sunday

I'm planning to do coupley sightseeingy stuff with The Dude further afield, but if I was around I'd want to catch the Omegathon final. Exactly what the final two are competing in is a secret, but apparently it is "one of the single greatest spectator games ever".

*Icedhope* · 08/20/2012, 01:49 pm

It looks like some of us forumites will be heading to Pax this year..and I'm suggesting this. We all have a meet up and a good time on Seattle's behalf?

**puzzlebox** · 08/20/2012, 02:15 pm

Yes of course! Friday night?

Friday night is fine. I mean, I'll probably be hanging out with you guys anyways, so any evening is fine.
