I did everything there was to do at PAX. I visited various panels, walked the show floor, hung out with the community, witnessed a poor hobo get solicited for sex (no joke) and hit up a few parties. I did everything except pay attention to the Omegathon competition. The last thing I wanted to do was sit around and watch people play videogame.So of course this came back to bite me on my ass whenI found out yesterday that the final game played at Omegathon wasHalo 3. Not only that, but they played on two brand new maps, showed off new weapons and even had the Minibosses play an amazing cover theHalo 3theme before it all started.Hit the jump to watch the second round of the final match of Omegathon, the awesome cover by the Minibosses and Gabe and Tycho playing a round ofHalo 3.
The final round of the Omegathon was fought between Accelon and MNC Dover. After two matches on two maps never before shown to the general public — as well as new weapons such as the Brute Hammer and Incendiary Bomb, Accelon emerged victorious. The lucky bastard won a trip to the Tokyo Game Show for two as well as five grand.Before the final round took place though, theMinibossessurprised the crowd by giving their rendition of theHalo 3theme.
After all was said and done, Gabe and Tycho took to the stage and battled it out in aHalo 3match with Gabe being victorious over Tycho.
[Editor’s note:Yes, if in case any of you are wondering, I wrote this entire post with tears trickling down my face.]
