PAX 2008: lonely gamers LFG

by Kevin Kelly { Aug 30th 2008 at 7:00AM }

Looking for group? PAX 2008 has you covered. While you're killing time or waiting for your number to be called in the console freeplay, you can chill out in here, play some tabletop games with your fellow gamers, and run around with a big LFG bubble over your head.

We stopped by for a bit, and these rooms are actually a fun place to hang out, and you can easily run into a pickup game of whatever catches your fancy. It's a great way to meet people from all over the country (including one dude we met who came all the way from the UK to PAX it), and they're also near the nice, clean bathrooms. At least, they are clean on day one. We pray they remain that way.

What does LFG mean, and why do people have tickets that have to be called?

Looking For (a) Group.

LFG stands for Looking For Group. Generally used in MMOs when people are... looking for a group. I guess it's kind of self-explanatory once you know what it stands for.

I expect there are big queues and waits for certain demos, etc., so rather than waiting in line for ages you get a ticket and come back when it's your turn. That's the only reason I can think of.
