PAX

[Warudo Ecksu]

Couldn't find the old "whos going thread" so sorry for making a new one. So who's going? We're flying up Thursday. Can't wait. Should be a lot of fun. :D The event schedule's up on the pax site if ne1 going hasn't seen it yet.

[Correction]

Should be great; I had a blast in Seattle last year. The only disappointing part of the schedule is that Freezepop/Jon Coulton are on at the same time as they're screening Second Skin.

[Warudo Ecksu]

ONLY 2 PPL GOING?

[Jefe]

Isn't PAX some religious convention? That was my first thought...

[-Zer0-]

Penny Arcade Expo

Would love it if they held this in Canada. PAX is slowly becoming the best video game con since E3 decided to go all corporate.

[Correction]

Unless you live east of Manitoba or something PAX is perfectly accessible to Canadians. I see plenty of folks from Vancouver there.

[Kang]

Im from Toronto. i read that they plan to do a PAX east next year or sometime soon.

[Kyo]

Yeah E3 is a joke now, its more of a system shlong fight anymore, comicon and pax are much better, not to mention gamers can attend it, well public. I went to E3 in 04 when i worked at gamestop, shit was lame.

[Kang]

What's the name of the new video game con they opened in LA last year that did crap because only Nintendo came or something? Did they have a better 08?

lol E3 is not a game con, its people like you who ruined it. Its a trade show, working at gamestop doesn't make you part of the industry

Even as a trade show it's a goddamn dinosaur. Every major presentation was a disappointment in one way or another and in the end within minutes of it being over we learned over the course of hours of 'livestreams' what could have been summed up in a page or less of typing in a blog.

What is is not and what it should never have been is some gigantic party thrown by game companies. And that's not the fault of the attendees.

[Soa]

I thought PAX was that shitty Lifetime offshoot station who only ever plays that show where Hannah Montanas dad plays a doctor.

[Correction]

Everybody's a comedian

I never said it was a gamecon if you read prior posts it was in response to kang's post about how lame it has become and I never said because I worked at gamestop I was part of the industry, before you make idiotic remarks maybe you should read all the information posted in the thread, so to add how did I ruin a gaming event I have no control over you retard?

You cant blame the companies and the sites that go there for the booths and publishing companies on display for suckin it up. Next time you have something intelligent to say maybe you should keep it to urself so it doesnt make you look like a fucking idiot.

[Kang]

Yeah E3 did suck this year especially Nintendo. Man I love when people hate on Nintendo, gives me personal satisfaction.

PS3 keeps dropping in price so one can afford it soon. Wish it would drop as fast as the 360 is though >.<

It's down to 270 dollars Canadian in some parts of Ontario, 300 everywhere else.

I bought my PS3 for 400 last Christmas. Highway robbery

Oh and fuck Nintendo and PAX rules!

[Correction]

Who actually knows the Seattle area? My guide from last year may not be in town this year, leaving me mostly to fend for myself and god knows I don't want to cram my gullet with shitty subway when there are less traveled and more interesting places to explore and eat.

Plus, I gotta learn the Seattle bus system in a hurry!
