PAX Overload! We come back still buzzed from an awesome time at PAX 2007 and talk about our experiences - what we saw, what we did, what we drank. We’re also far more pumped about EVE Online now are looking to set up some EGR pwning action in that game.

PAX was a blast this year. Didn’t get a chance to check out too many panels but the gang was all here and much partying was had. I emo’d it up singing Creep by Radiohead for our Rock Band group (Zug, Narb, Urban and myself). Urban and Zug did up Final Countdown (video coming), and we got to demo a lot of games.
The convention center and the hotel were perfectly positioned this year - lot’s of good food nearby, a GameWorks (complete with Pop n’ Music, Taiko, Love & Berry - quite decked out), and lots of hotel space. We’re on the last day here, so there’s still stuff left to do.
Tune in Wednesday night at 8pm PST for our recap or check out the podcast anytime after that.

This week we got Persona 3′d, Bioshocked, and Penny Arcade Expo’d. Zug gives a quick rundown of the awesomeness that is Bioshock. Oizys gives some more highlights to Persona, and we give a quick mention of PAX. The PS3 is going to be a recordy-machine, too, which is great, but not for us in America. It’s been a busy convention season, and we’ve left the best for last! See you at PAX!

PAX is coming in a few days, and what do I think? It’s gonna be a caffeine and booze fueled romp as a collective hive mind grabs Seattle by the balls. That, or a fun con at the very least. Being to cover the entire con is an impossibility that should only be tried by seasoned pros, so I shall predict what some bits and pieces of the con are going to be like. Tune in now!

In preparing for the Winnebago that is Comic-Con this weekend, we are donning our respective Geek Armor and getting pumped up while talking about the other upcoming conventions Blizzcon and Penny Arcade Expo. More info has come out recently about TerraDrive - a LARP/Paper Roleplaying game that will be debuting at PAX and we discuss our first impressions, a little bit of the WoW talk sneaks in under the guise of pre-Blizzcon speculation, and much reminiscing is done about Comic Con past and future (future reminiscing? - yes) and what it means to gamers in a post-E3 world. We wrap it up with some discussion of masters of marketing like Pokemon, constantly showing us how it’s done, and some frank statistics on in-game advertisements now that the science is coming of age. Also we say “Chocolate Rain” a lot.
