Bump! I've been to every PAX South so far and would love to keep that up forever. Went to PAX in 2007 (when it was the only PAX), too.

Yesterday I received the phone call many PAXers dream of: I'm going to be an Omeganaut!

I've heard it's great, but I've never been.

I survived the first round of the Omegathon! The second round starts at 8pm.

Steam is here, if anyone wants it: https://twitch.tv/pax2

I survived the second round!

We are lunching at Chris Madrid's at 11am tomorrow, if anyone cares to join us. Amazing burgers and fries.

We'll be a large group of guys, many 6'3" or over. I'll be wearing my blue hoodie that says ITALIA.

Congrats! We should meet up sometime when you're not too busy winning omegathon. I've got a bunch of Aggies with me. Mostly we'll be in the board game area.

We usually frequent the boardgame area, but this year the Omegathon is controlling a lot of my schedule. If you see a maroon tablecloth, that's us.

Change of wardobe plans: It's too warm for that hoodie. Maroon Aggie vest instead.

We left at 1130. We're a bunch of dads who want to eat lunch and then get home for dinner, so we never stay long on Sunday.

It dominated the weekend, as I feared, but it was definitely cool and I'm glad I did it! I've always wanted to.

My friends and I usually hang out and play tabletop games together all day, and this severely cut back on that. It also added some general stress and such. I might be willing to do it again some day, but I won't be volunteering to for several years.

Sweet, our group has gone to Pax South since the beginning which most of the weekend is tabletop. Any new favorite games you played? For me it would be Quacks of Quedlinburg and Raiders of the North Sea. On The Underground: London and Azul Summer Pavilion were great too!

The only game I played for the first time at PAX was Clank!, which we all enjoyed. I've been interested in trying it for a while. I went to the boardgame Meetup at Cafe Express on 59 a couple weeks ago and was able to play Clank! Legacy (this group had already played through the entire campaign, which leaves you with a personalized and perfectly playable game afterwards).

There was also a woman in the Omegathon who said that she'd played all the way through Clank! Legacy with her husband, their 10 year old, and their 8 year old. She said the kids handled the game fine but some of the sessions were a bit long for the 8 year old. My kids are almost exactly those ages, but I'm not sure my youngest (8 next month) could sit still long enough.

When I got home, I ordered a copy of the original Clank!, and I was able to play it with my 10 year old daughter yesterday. We both had a great time, and she had no difficulty with the game at all.

Other games that I played at the con, though not for the first time: Inis, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Cockroach Poker, Secret Hitler, Just One, and Wavelength. I own and enjoy all of those.
