There are only a few weeks left until this year’s Penny Arcade Expo hits Seattle, and I could not be more excited. It will be my first time attending the show, and I’ve been eagerly welcoming every little bit of news announced over on the Penny Arcade site. Most recently, Gabe posted the events of the 2008 Omegathon, a three-day, multi-event competition. The full schedule, as well as this year’s participants, can be found below.

The Omegathon participants are chosen from those who pre-order passes to the expo. You better believe I’m going to be mighty jealous of the prize the winner receives—a trip for two to the Tokyo Game Show, all expenses paid. Damn, maybe I need to give up this writing gig and spend my days training for the next Omegathon.
