AND everyone I got to meet while at PAX PAX Changes Everything

I have games to play & thousands of friends to talk with. -NickelEdge For a few days we come together free of judgment and undaunted by what those outside think. A shared passion for video games makes the long lines bearable and we bond over ques- tions like “what DS game is that?” or “Did you play this?” PAX is like a sand box game, there is no one right way to enjoy it.

You can bring your rig and enjoy a massive LAN party, or hit up the free play area. Be a rock god up on stage with Rock Band. Or maybe your just taking a nap on a Sumo Bag. We the loyal fans can catch trailers and demos scattered around the exhibit halls in search of the one game we must play, only to discover ten more that enthrall us. Spread throughout, like so many random encounters are the opportunities to pick up the gathering swag and the merch that will weigh our suitcases down on the journey home. There is so much to do: handheld lounge, Jam Space, ex- hibit hall, panels, table top gaming, Omegathon, free play, etc.

Even with the submission of the sun to the moon the trembling beast rages on. More panels wait, late night movies, and of course the concerts. Riled up by a DOS prompt we await to enter a frenzy. The concerts go beyond just music, but are a social event in itself with us sharing our adventure. Here you you rock out to Metroid Metal or raise your ds / app lighter to Paul & Storm singing “Nugget Man”. The end of the first night’s concert is just a pause on PAX –two more days remain.

With the official end and the last Omeganaut standing over the conquered, AXP continues on the adventure 127.0.0.1, whether by planes, trains or chocobos. When you arrive 127.0.0.1, sharing the experience with those that couldn’t go themselves, and it continues in shared experi- ences with shared memories, until the brood returns. Till then enjoy these memories I have gath- ered and preserved for you. photography by: “NickelEdge” Thomas Dougherty penny-arcade.com
