PAX Prime 2013: Monday Main Theater Panel Schedule And Assorted Highlights
By Nick Tylwalk
If parting really is such sweet sorrow, then everyone at PAX Prime is going to be experiencing some sweetness and some tears tonight when this year’s show comes to a close.
But let’s focus on the bright side: there’s a whole day of gaming goodness left to go, including the always intriguing Omegathon final round. Here’s a schedule of what’s going on in the main theater on Day 4 plus other panels and events that caught our eye:
PAX Prime 2013: Day 4 (Monday 9/2) Main Theater Schedule
10 am – NVIDIA Gaming: From Mobile to 4K, We’ve Got You Covered – A panel devoted to everything NVIDIA has cooked up recently? Sounds cool, especially since contests and prizes are part of the plan. If someone can grab me a free SHIELD, I’d be much obliged. Thanks.
12 pm – Gabe & Tycho, as interviewed by Robert Khoo – Oh yeah, the Penny Arcade creators have time for one last panel. This time it’s an hour-long, no-holds-barred interview. As Hammer used to say back in the day, proper.
2:30 pm – INSIDE GEARBOX SOFTWARE – It’s in ALL CAPS so you know it means business. Get updates on “Borderlands” and all things Gearbox, along with exclusives, reveals, and surprises. The company’s CEO, Lead Writer, and Chief Creative Champion are all part of this panel.
5:30 pm – Omegathon Final Round – If this was a comic book, the cover would say something like, “The stunning conclusion!” Two players fight it out in one mystery game with a trip to Tokyo on the line. Worlds will live, worlds will die, nothing will ever be the same. Okay, now I carried the analogy a little too far.
