Actually I wound up taking some time from my break at work today to make a personal sched for PAX...events I'm hoping to attend:
friday: design an rpg in an hour (which unfortunately conflicts with retrogame roadshow, otherwise I would LOVE to attend that), assassin's creed iii panel, the 100 yen arcade screening
saturday: behind the music of blockbuster games (STOKED for jesper kyd being there), gaming grows up OR parenting and video games, cancelled & prototype game fiestathon, going cardboard screening
sunday: retronauts and the gaming apocalypse and plot vs play
Obviously this is all very tentative. I also plan on spending a lot of time in the dealers halls
-Hideo Kojima Introspective: Past, Present, and the Future of METAL GEAR-1pm
Sunday
-Ratchet and Clank 10th anniversary- 1pm
There is a Final Fantasy 25th anniversary event going on Friday but I don't know what time yet that I'm excited about. I will most likely go to concerts as I usually do.

I believe the announcement will be at 7:30pm regarding news of the next installment in the Lightning Saga to tie in with the event in Tokyo that is going on at the same time.
It might be a good place to do a meetup for the racketboy members or a lunch since we all have different events we want to attend. I haven't finalized my schedule yet still a work in progress..

So I don't know if you guys have seen, but there's a phone app called Guidebook where you can download the official PAX guidebook. It has the schedule, maps of the convention center, listing of speakers and exhibitors, and a bunch of other stuff. It'll be quite useful come Friday.

It is an amazing app I've been using for awhile since it was named Conventionist on my iPhone. It makes planning all the events so much easier.

Lunch meetup would be good. I don't know if I can make Saturday, though. There's a Magic tournament I really want to do and if I do well it'll run right up to the XCOM panel.
