Bowtie Cat/On The Level Gaming PAX Prime 2012 Predictions: Part two

Incase you missed it, last week our pals over at OTL Gaming posted the first part of our two part PAX feature. For this feature, each site made a few predictions for what might happen at PAX Priime 2012, and the other site rated the actual chances each prediction had of happening. It’s wet, it’s wild, it’s fun fun fun. And now it’s our turn.

Making predictions for team Bowtie Cat are myself, Jeff Seale and Chris Hansbrough. And the OTL rating team is comprised of the righteous Josh McKinney, the amazing Eric Windsor and the always effervescent Kaitlin Stewart, also of PwnLove. A big thanks to the OTL folks for actually agreeing to do such a silly idea. Here we go!

Jeff’s Predictions:

1. The Last of Us will be featured at the show but will not be playable. Lines to watch a guided demonstration, or straight up pre-recorded video will wrap around the earth twice.

Eric: 50% Sony is surely planning to unleash fungal zombies to generate some great convention buzz for The Last of Us.

Josh: 75% And when the convention hall of full of the undead attendees, they will walk the streets of Seattle to stand in line for overpriced food and drink.

Kaitlin: 60% Sony’s zombies will battle against PopCap’s zombies from Plants v Zombies in a tournament of undead kings or they will join forces and attack everyone in line to begin a worldwide epidemic. Don’t forget your zombie survival training from Walking Dead, Left 4 Dead and Zombieland and you’ll be just fine.

2. Habbo Hotel will have a huge booth at PAX this year and will come back in a big way in 2013. I have my sources.

Eric: 100% The ghost of Wull Smoth came to me in a fevered dream to confirm this!  

Josh: 100% 93 out 100 registered offenders confirm this is happening.

Kaitlin: 0% Stop trying to make the return of Habbo Hotel happen. It’ll never happen.

3. The Old Republic Booth will be featured prominently in a back alley of downtown Seattle. Twi'lek cosplayers will be seen warming their hands over a burning trash barrel.

Eric: 0% Due to strict Obama Border Patrols protocols we all know undocumented Twi’leks cosplayers aren’t allowed on American soil.

Josh: 50% Rebel scum like these always find a way to ruin a good time.

Kaitlin: 0% The Jedi Council would never approve such an event.

4. Episode 3 will be announced. Gabe told me.

Eric: 50% Gabe will only reveal it if the whole of PAX attendees complete his Live Action ARG including Head Crab Dunk Tank.

Josh: 50% It will likely happen but shortly after the announcement the theater will fill with poisonous gas from a life sized replica GLaDOS that drops down from the ceiling.  

Kaitlin: 50% A new hope awaits Penny Arcade fans.

Chris’ Predictions:

1. Atlus is going to announce that they are localizing Valkyria Chronicles 3. Later in the day, Sega will announce that they have canceled the project.

Eric: 100% just because they can.

Josh: 100%  Sega will reveal a new console fueled by the tears of gamers across the world as the reason behind the cancellations of their favorite games.

Kaitlin: 100% Eric’s right. Sega is the Honey Badger of the gaming world, it does what it wants and doesn’t care.

2. The Firefall booth will replace their super carpet from last year’s booth with a bed of nails. It will still be the most comfortable booth on the floor.

Eric: 0% No way they’ll replace Super Carpet, no one can replace Super Carpet.

Josh: 0% The world has to believe in something. That something is Super Carpet.  

Kaitlin: 0% Previous PAX attendees paid them to keep the carpet so they’d have somewhere to pass out due to their massive hangovers from the night before.

3. Nintendo announces the WiiU Vitality SensorU for use with games such as…?

Eric: 100% Prepare your bodies for Nintendo Proctologist Examination U.

Josh: 1000% on Eric’s response. Also they’ll have a Wii See U internal medical camera in the bundle with the Vitality Sensor U

Kaitlin: 100% Legend of Zelda on the WiiU, baby. You could put a Zelda game on anything and it’d be incredible. FOR HYRULE!

4. On Sunday, the most common activity on the floor for everyone will be flipping your badge to the front to show enforcer’s it’s not counterfeit.

Eric: 100% also the enforcers will most likely ask haggard attendees to smile more

Josh: 100% Little known fact: PAX Badges double as DNA kits for criminal investigations.

Kaitlin: 100% For a little surprise before PAX, take your badge under a blacklight. PAX East Attendees know what I’m talking about.

Tony’s Predictions:

1. Reggie Fils-Aime will announce that his body was not actually ready and that he’s sorry he lied to us gamers. He will announced his resignation and The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind” will play as he exits the building.

Eric: 100% Frank Black reunited The Pixies this summer just for this exact event.

Josh: 0% We all know Reggie plans to unite The Rolling Stones and The Who together as a super band called God Save the Bowser.

Kaitlin: 10% Just for the The Pixies mention.

2. Booth babes will finally be allowed at PAX under the strict stipulation that they must be cosplaying as ‘Babe the pig.’

Eric: 25% If this happens I will inevitably approach a Booth Babe and pat her on the head and say “That’ll do Booth Babe, that’ll do.”

Josh: 0% James Cromwell would never allow a Booth Babe to sully the good name of Babe the Pig.

Kaitlin: 0% The closest thing to Babe the Pig at PAX will be the incredible pink hair of  the talented Ali Bakes, former Frag Doll Cadette and new media journalist. Yeah, she’s a badass. Ali is the only person I know who can pull off pink hair and not look like punk rock Barbie.

3. Harmonix will announce Rock Band Blitz for the PS Vita. The handheld version of the game will allow Sony fans to connect to the PS3 to transfer songs from Rock Band to Blitz for Vita.

Eric: 75% Don’t stop believin’!

Josh: 100% because I think I have Pac-Man Fever.

Kaitlin: 0% I blame Bieber Fever for everything that is wrong with music games.

4. LostCrichton will take his pants off at some point during the convention. Most likely multiple times.

Eric: 100% Why break tradition when it feels so good?

Josh: 100% Those red shorty shorts are legen-wait for it-dary, legendary!

Kaitlin: 100% He’s the Duke of No Pants.
