I think it compares favorably. I think that the exhibit hall, while smaller in size, competes with gencon in quality and variety, less some creators (Gencon's exhibit hall has more artists and independant craft people). But free gaming space and the library and the tournaments for the size I think PAXU did very well. The big edge GenCon has over PAXU is event registration. Their prereg system is much better and you are far more likely to get events you want. PAXU tried something this year with their app to prereg some events, but it wasn't effective. They just don't have enough scheduled events or people to run them. Maybe as the con grows they will get there. But at GenCon I can go into it *knowing* that I'm getting into event X or Y ahead of time. No lines, no running out of DMs, no bullshit.

How awesome does that have to feel? That made me smile.

"Early 2019". No specific date. Purchases registered by 1/31 get Petey for free, so I'd guess February or March for the first Fighter Pack.

Brian, but I haven't seen him yet; maybe he's an assist trophy or a spirit?

This gives me one other thing to look forward to when I burn out on MHGenU.

I've gotten a spirit that gives immunity to every type of floor except lava so far. I've gotten "reduces lava floor damage" spirits, but no immunity. And since the problem is less about the damage and more about constantly getting popped in the air they do me no good. I'm sure I'll find a lava immunity eventually.

I'm still unlocking dudes. Haven't found my boy, Luigi yet. As soon as I do it's over for all y'all. Some of these spirit challenges are straight up impossible. The Sonic+Pink Spirally Throw His Head assist trophy guy I still can' get past in Adventure mode. And I ran into one on the spirit board that was "Floor is Lava" which isn't bad except the map was final destination. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?!

OMG THE SHADOW SONIC + PINK ASSIST TROPHY GUY CHALLENGE IN WORLD OF LIGHT MODE CAN EAT A DICK! OK, I feel better now. Sorry.

You're the second person to ask this of me. I may end up getting it. But not until I unlock my boy.

Yeah it was inevitable. Still don't like it. And I think the comparison is still a good one. You're losing something of value in both cases; either money or time or resources. Because I'm not paying for a subscription to Origin/Battlenet/BlizzLaunch/Bethesdastic or whatever doesn't mean I'm not expending value.

Picked it up on my lunch break. Can't wait to get it home.

I hate this direction. It's the same way streaming TV is going.

One can dream.

Agreed. I hope they leave it at this until the premiere.

AND my final haul, less some D&D 5e adventure modules I purchased...

Locked! Good luck everyone!

Local multiplayer only for me, probably.

Happy Smashmas Eve, everybody.

Those were so good.

Thursday bump! Get those entries in! Deadline is tonight!

Congratulations!

They do my favorite video reviews. Very thorough.
