what a pointless convention
Darn, I just got a free Seahawks tickets for that night. Dammit...lol. Have fun guys and Welcome to Seattle for those who are coming over.
The crowd in line for the doors to open just cheered at the camera crew that is sweeping around the serpentine line. 10 more minutes to go, and there are several thousand folks in line here.

i had a good time at PAX last year but won't be able to make this year. I didn't read the whole thread cause it was a bit "tl dr" but is there a meet up with drinking involved? i might be able to make that... depending on the time.
Anyone have any questions for Positron? If I get a chance, I'll ask a few from the community and report back. Given the way he's toyed with us over the features for Issue 11 I expect to find him at the NCsoft booth holding a flashlight under his chin and laughing maniacally to himself. 
I am BIG Penny Arcade fan,Read em all the time but I cannot go the PAX. I'm broke :P.
P.S. Click on the link in my sig,it is pure awesome.

Lighthouse is very nice, grew up in the greater PNW, and is rather tall.
CuppaJo has been on the road a lot over the course of this convention season. She's hanging in there, and is currently in the right town for getting that extra Starbucks buzz. 
The Hero Clix of Mako is the convention give-away. I haven't checked his stats yet, but I doubt he's as hard to hit in Hero Clix as he is when he goes all crazy on the STF.
The booth has a good amount of space to it, and a couple of islands of PCs for playing any of the NCsoft games (CoH, Tabula Rasa, Guild Wars, Dungeon Warrior, etc.).
I had a chance to play a bit of Tabula Rasa. It looks very sharp. The game play was ok. I did find and report a graphics bug (disappearing trees and other stuff) during an early level mission. CuppaJo helped show me the bug report system after I showed her what I found. The game is still in Beta so graphical bugs like that are par for the course. Generally it looked fairly polished.
Tomorrow is the long day for them. Positron will also be there so questions about game development can get put forth (just don't expect any answers that reveal plans of theirs).

Correction: the set name Positron used is Dual Blades. I recall some reference to a sword, and I blended that into the name when I posted earlier. Dual Blades can mean more than swords.

Give Dual Blades to Blasters. Archery/Dual Blade Legolas clones running all over the place, we'll give Lord of the Rings online a run for it's money
Agree, met Posi and Lighthouse at PAX... awesome guys! Posi and the gang know what its take to keep things fun for 3+ years...hopefully many more to come!
The current version of Dual Blades uses a pair of scimitars. Hot.
I didn't have a chance to properly speak with Posi, but I did talk with Lighthouse briefly and I spoke often with CuppaJo and the other NCSoft people.
It was a blast working with NCSoft, ArenaNet (Guild Wars) and WizKids (HeroClix). I was pulled off the exhibition floor early on Sunday due to medical reasons, but it was still an awesome experience that I wouldn't have traded for the world.
By the way, the NCSoft people bought me food and that was awesome of them. I've never been happier to be a customer.

God I really hope it's not twin Scimitars. Because that would mean we would be Atlas Statue deep in Drow!

Seridove from the Vault Network posted up a nice recap from the player meet and greet with all the NCsoft representatives here.
She has some nice pictures from the event. If you are interested, be sure to check it out!
