I will be heading to PAX AUS in november and was planning to bring an omnidirectional mic there. Could I get away with using an omni driectional mic?

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?

If you not only want to hear you but also everyone else in the hall, yes

Would I be able to hear myself clearly enough?

No, because it picks up EVERYTHING.

Ok, what mic does Linus use for show coverage?

Depends if there are many others in the room with you that are making noise.

Someone told me that most lavaliers are omnidirectional. Do you know anyone who uses lavaliers for show coverage?

Nope, everyone I see doing show coverage has a handheld microphone.
