I'd love to go to back to PAX, but the venue is too small for the turn out. Hopefully the new east coast show will help reduce the attendance. Until then, i'll pass on the long lines, overcrowded venues, and crappy convention fast food.
Aside from that, the con itself is awesome. It's fairly well managed, a huge emphasis is placed on the attendance, and (if you can get into them) the panels are fantastic.
I really hope that offering an East Coast PAX helps lighten the overlord.
Oh and to that sexy punk-goth chick dressed as a TF2 Scout last year, thank you for wearing the small tight shorts.
@TaggarT6: See, I never get compliments like that when I wear MY small tight shorts to conventions. I guess people are afraid/put-off by my manly hairy legs and gigantic bulge. Wait, what were we talking about?
@TaggarT6: damn, I missed that one. I did get a kickass photo of a great black female medic. she was awesome. I'm going as an engy this year, but not really a "sexy" engy, unless you're into braids and foam wrenches.
@mrantimatter: No they are I think, its just everyone needs a break. You know, from all the money fights and champagne pool parties. And by champagne pool parties, I mean pools filled with champagne.
@Thut: A Christian cross in manner of aesthetics (not usability) is proportional to a cube being unwound and made 2D to where you have a center square, squares on three of it's sides and two squares on the remaining side. That is the universal proportion that appealing to the eye via jewelry or other such fiddle-faddle.
The PA "PAX" symbol is obviously a D-pad based on size, perception, detail and orientation.
You're not the first to try to make the connection, you won't be the last, but you will all still be blind, tasteless and unoriginal.
Promoting your own comment means nothing. I dont post here so no one can see it, and if I posted something deep or hilarious I would like it displayed for all to see. If you have the tools to accomplish this, your a fool for not doing so.
IMO of course.
@Darkly Dreaming svenhoek: Indeed, this is my feeling.
As a star commenter, none of my posts would automatically go black, so it was up to me to self-promote. They've not taken away the ability yet, so I'll do it until it's gone.
In all fairness, my self-promoted posts make about a tenth of posts I promote. I make sure that people that need and should get heard, do.
@Gfunksnow: Expect a lot of people (the Halls are starting to fill up quite a bit faster nowadays), expect some lines for things like the keynote and expect to meet some really cool people. It's a lot of fun, lots of cosplayers and tons of video game previews that you wouldn't get your hands on otherwise.
@beta_angel: Also expect to wait behind assholes who insist on trying to beat every playable game demo, despite having a line of 239 people behind them waiting to play.
The booth reps, however, are awesome.
Except for the really annoying guy from Sony who was trying to hype up Infamous.
Oh yeah, be on the look out for Kotaku personalities.
