This year I'm heading to PAX. If you're unfamiliar, PAX is a weekend long gaming expo that takes place in Seattle every year. They cover consoles, PCs, board games, card games, the list goes on. It's my first year driving down to Seattle to participate and I'm utterly blown away by how much is going to be going on down there. A few snippets from the various panels they'll be showcasing (at least the ones I'm going to try to hit up):
Hey Ash, Whatcha Filmin: How to make a moderately successful viral video series that confuses the hell out of people.
Game Design 101
Working with Fans to Create Better Video Games
How can we make online gaming communities suck less?
LIVE ON-STAGE DEMO – Assassins Creed®II and Splinter Cell Conviction
Penny Arcade Makes a Strip!
Star Wars: The Old Republic live demonstration
...the list goes on. And on. I mean, really, they are packing as much gaming into one convention center as I think physically possible. More than anything I want to go see those game demos. I've never had a chance to actually see something like that in person. The event map promises a slew of A-list game companies setting up shop in the convention center as well. I am completely amiss as to how I'm going to even come close to seeing and doing everything I want to there. I mean you might as well take a six year old and put them in a candy store the size of Walmart with a ten minute time limit.
