PAX | Omegathon Final Round, and it's not retro at all!
"Final Countdown" played signifying the start of the last event of PAX. Gabe and Tycho entered and spoke for a bit before the lights went out.
On the giant screens, some sort of blue pixilated thing was flashing. A woman's voice started to speak. Was this really true? Was this happening? And then the giant "3" appeared and we all knew: The final round would be Halo 3.
The curtains opened to show two TV's each with an Xbox. The Minibosses were there and played the Halo Theme song (hey, they have a new song!) before the two final Omeganauts entered.
The winner would be determined "best two out of three" style. The players would play on new maps with new weapons, never before see. The first map was Guardian and had random weapons like flash bangs, fire grenades, the flame thrower, and a ton of other utterly ridiculous things. The level itself was crazy, filled with twists and turns and narrow hallways on multiple levels. Accalon won this round, being the first to get 15 kills.
The second level was called "Narrows" and was very different. There was a mongoose and a couple of other well placed weapons. Accalon won again (first to five this time) and took home the title of champion.
Gabe and Tycho then came out on stage and drew the next Omeganaut for next year, a new feature for PAX 2007. They read the name and moved on quickly. It really should have been done prior to the final round, because it was very anti-climactic.
Last year, Gabe and Tycho merely forgot to play each other afterwards, but this year they made sure to remember. The two of them sat down for a match in the Guardian level. For the first time Gabe totally pwned Tycho. Not only that, but he tea bagged him after every kill.
The show is over and I'm in need of sleep. What an incredible way to end an amazing PAX. This is going to be hard to top.
