Smart money's on Jason Young, aka Morgon from MyGamerCard.net. How about that, an internet celebrity in Omegathon V? I hope he's ready to rock at... Pictionary and Peggle. :S

The final round is actually Acclaim's racer titled Top Secret. It will be a Mad Max meets Mario Kart MMORPG. They will debut a character named Oiram McEyePatch, and he will wear an eye-patch. Ishoy will be the name of his trusty steed, which will be a go-kart armored in unicorn tears and the souls of lost men. Top Secret will go on to outsell Super Mario Bros. and Dragon Warrior III combined.

I'm gonna place my bets on Mega Man 9 being the final game.

Heh, I always love Penny Arcade, but I've always thought they had pretty shitty taste in games.

It's gonna be Bungie's erstwhile E3 announcement that they play. Mark my words.

Hey, I'm a Joystiq reader!

The only thing that sucks about the Omegathon so far is having to buy these games to practice! I said in one of the previous Boom Blox posts that I'd be the first one to pick it up once it came down in price -- I guess I'll be forced to go back on that ;)

Peggle is a surprisingly good game, wish they'd get this out for XBLA already.

I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to 'practice' for Pictionary, though. Perhaps I can moonlight as a psychologist and pretend my drawings are Rorschach.

Well, I would suggest buying the most recent verson of pictionary, and looking over all the cards, getting a list of the ones that would be reaaaly hard, and figure out a way to draw it really fast. Hehee, you don't want to be sitting there, waisting time on how to draw "Isolation"

Perhaps you should just moonlight *as* Rorschach and seek out your other opponents ;)

They should parody The Wizard. Last event, they pull out Super Mario Brothers 3 as if it is some huge unexpected reveal.

Street Fighter IV maybe? But I think that has the potential to became too elitist/obvious an exercise.

I suck so bad at that

I'm in that picture! I'm the guy in the center of the picture holding the short sword, which was one of the consolation prizes for coming in second. More importantly, I get an automatic invite into this years Omegathon.

This is by far the most casual line-up of games I've ever seen and is completely unexpected. Time to get practicing in hopes of winning my trip to Japan.
