    Today's actual schedule:
    0810: Got into the expo center, wait in line to buy PAX Tee. BioShock Infinite statue and trailer in the waiting lobby.
    http://img.ly/3bFG
    And there were tons of zombies...
    http://img.ly/3bFO
    0930: Waiting in line for expo hall to open.
    http://img.ly/3bFS
    http://img.ly/3bFX
    1000: Wandering in expo hall, found BF3 booth, lined up right away :)
    http://img.ly/3bG5
    http://img.ly/3bG9
    1015: Got into the BF3 demo booth.
    No filming, so I can't post any in-game images/videos. It's basically a full walkthrough of this gameplay trailer. http://www.v2ex.com/t/9153
    The sound effect and destruction is fantastic!
    Spotlights:
    * Better sound effects: http://www.v2ex.com/t/9104
    * Prone. When you're prone, aiming accuracy will increase, even more so when you are using weapon with high recoil(rocket launchers, machine guns, etc)
    * Better structure destruction: AT4 rocket launcher fire at a sniper nest inside a 20-level hotel across the street, the facing side of the hotel was torn apart. You can see concrete was flying all the place, while the rebars still hole the building straight.

    1035 BF3 demo finished, passed by Portal 2 and LA Noire, too crowded. Definitely gonna check them out tomorrow.
    http://img.ly/3bGp

    1155 Didn't go to the PA Q&A, line is way too long, chance to get in is 0. So I wandered around. Saw a familiar face around the Red Faction booth. It's Husky! he's really nice :)
    http://img.ly/3bGu
    http://img.ly/3bxo
    And what do you get after ten years of waiting? Duke Nukem Forever!!! Playable demo at the booth.
    http://img.ly/3bGy
    1200 Had some food and rest. Too tired. Sour shoulder. Will bring less stuff tomorrow.
    1300 Tried out SHIFT 2, the helmet camera is so intuitive. The D-BOX setup is really cool, but not really "affordable" unless you fell comfortable to throw 15k USD into it.
    http://img.ly/3bGB
    1330 Rage demo!!! Still no filming T_T
    It's quite like the Borderlands, with a realistic rendering. Other things that are noticeable:
    * Brilliant AI: They KNOW how to hide and flank, no more dumb AI. The DOOM already did it good enough though.
    * Dynamic lighting: id is always good at lighting, from DOOM to QUAKE. This time is huge outdoor world with cinematic style color grading, made it looks cooler and futuristic, and differentiated from other modern shooter games.
    * Vehicle combat: Nothing NEW! Which is a big letdown, I expected something groundbreaking, but all they have is in Borderlands already. Thumbs up to Gearbox, accomplished something even id cannot improve? :(

    Naughty Dog and 2 Player production panel, some interesting trivial talk about the development of Uncharted 3 and the documentary filming.
    http://img.ly/3bHG

    Watched Guild Wars 2 live demo at Alienware booth, mostly things that were already covered in previous interviews and dev diaries. Hope tomorrow they got more things to show.

    Spent around an hour playing at the PC free play area. Mostly TF2, played 1 round of SC2(No lan no fun).

    Overall, people at PAX are super nice. Everybody is so easygoing (might not be outgoing, but are more friendly than most other places). You can easily have conversations with people standing in the same line. Nerds/geek/cosplayer everywhere...

    Tomorrow is gonna be tough, gotta choose between Deus Ex and Guild Wars 2. The current decision is latter, but it's subject to change.

    All the loot I got:
    http://img.ly/3bIa
    From top to bottom:
    Black PAX Tee/PAX Guide
    Grey PAX Tee/WD Keyring with magnifier =.=(I was going for the 10krpm HDD)
    Rage Tee/Brink flyer
    SHIFT 2 Tee/SHIFT 2 branded earbud
    Uncharted 3 Tee/Uncharted 3 weapon skin DLC code

    Those 2 PAX Tee cost 30 USD, all other things are free (to certain attendees).

    Saturday's actual schedule:
    1030 Tried SHIFT 2 again, easier track, less sensitive settings. Sadly, I still suck at this game.
    http://img.ly/3cwt
    1230 Lined up at the Portal 2 booth. The line is way shorter since new regulation does not allow multiple rounds of line.
    http://img.ly/3cwC
    1300 The ESRB rating of Duke Nukem Forever. I asked a guy how long he's been waiting (in the line), he answered "More than 10 years." Everybody is LOL. XD
    http://img.ly/3cwG
    1400 Got into the booth. Not live demo, just gameplay video of first several minutes of the game. Nothing's new here, since all the mechanics are revealed already and the release date is near.
    http://img.ly/3cwD
    1430 The Guild Wars 2 line is already full more than 1 hour ahead of the event. So sad, but no choice left, went to the Deus Ex event.
    http://img.ly/3cwV
    Some live gameplay, really nice mechanics. I prefer this game over Crysis 2. Augmented human > Nano suite. Following picture is the panel from Eidos dev/community team.
    http://img.ly/3cx1
    1550 Lined up for LA Noire. It's Rockstar, developing since 2004, delaying since 2008. This game is based on real criminal cases, so I would suggest you not to dig backgrounds.
    http://img.ly/3cx5
    1720 Finally got into the booth. Live game demo, no recording. Topnotch facial expression capture/scanning. Haven't seen any game character like these before.
    An old trailer, more at http://www.youtube.com/user/RockstarGames

    Sunday's schedule:
    The only (major/interesting to me) games left are Brink and Firefall. Brink's line is two-hour long, so I just give up.
    1030 Firefall demo play!!! Yea~ Finally some hand-on gameplay. http://www.v2ex.com/t/8315
    http://img.ly/3cxe
    3 classes available: Assault, medic, sniper. Only deathmatch mode can be played at booth. I tried assault and medic. Assault is somewhat like soldier in TF2, rocket/cannon as primary weapon with 3-round burst bullet fire as alternative fire mode. Didn't tried secondary weapon since I didn't know at the moment. Then I changed to medic, primary weapon is the healing gun(same as TF2), rightclick to charge it which can increase healing speed and the accuracy/power of your healing target. Secondary weapon is a submachine gun. So far I like this game, but deathmatch mode is only a tiny fraction of this MMOG, so no final opinion.
    1200 Slam Bolt Scrappers, a smash of Tetris and Super Smash Bros. This game is simply FUN!!! Available this Tuesday on PSN(North America).
    http://img.ly/3cxf
    Basic rules:
    You fight flying pigs(???) to get tetris blocks.
    You can place blocks at any place you want(no overlapping though).
    Every same-color square (2x2, 3x3) will become a turret. (Tower defense, yea~)
    You lose when you lost all your blocks.
    You can beat the hell out the pigs/opponents/their bricks. XD
    Up to 4 player coop/versus.
    1300 Penny Arcade Q&A session 2
    You simply just can't come to PAX without meating the PA! Since I missed the first one, this is the only chance.
