PAX East 2011 Post-Omegathon report

Well, PAX East 2011 came and went. There were laughs and tears and — OK, so there were no tears. It was PAX, after all. But there could have been tears, if I weren’t such a gracious loser. Besides, I had to keep my mascara intact all weekend seeing as the camera guy for the Frag Dolls was following me around all weekend and making me feel like an A-lister.

The Frag Dolls put together a documentary-like video about my experiences as an Omeganaut. And even though (spoilers) I didn’t win, I still had an amazing time participating. With only 28 participants selected out of 69,500 attendees, it really was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Keep reading to hear more about my experience and to see Ubisoft’s video about me.

So as you can see, even though I struck out in round two, I had an absolute blast. And even though this WOULD have been the first event in a while that I would have gotten to simply attend, rather than work, it was well worth it – especially because of all the swag. I got a t-shirt from the ladies at Fat, Ugly or Slutty and one from the community manager of Destructoid, as well as amazing custom speaker tags for my A30 headset from ASTROGaming – and of course, the Omeganaut t-shirt.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go unpack all this amazing swag – time to start packing for E3!
