Hey guys, this years annual Penny Arcade Expo is back in Seattle!

Go here for more info: http://www.pennyarcadeexpo.com/

PAX (Penny Arcade eXpo) is one of - if not THE - biggest gaming event of the year. You get to play all the newest demos shown at E3 and ComicCon, rooms where you can bring in your own consoles and play with a group of friends on it. There's even a swarm of beanbags for you hand-held gamers (according to Tobin, they get VERY sweaty). Here's NoobToob's account of this 2008's PAX http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpS_PQmuSoU&feature=user

hope I can go.

looks epic.

I'll have to bring something to show off eh?


EDIT: some info.

The three-day pre-registration rate is $50, which is a $5 discount from the at-the-door price.

Aye, bring free copies of C4D.

Damn it, penny arcade expo...be in Chicago for once! I can't make it again this year because I'm in Wisconsin and have no way to get there, unless I can convince my friends to go on a road trip with me.

Also, wow. Just wow. This reminds me that it's been almost a year since the last time the penny expo thread was posted. That amazes me, I mean it seems like just last week I was sitting here wishing I could go to the 2008 expo. My, how time flies.

I'll be there. I don't know if I will go Friday, it was way to crowded last year, Saturday and Sunday were fine though.

Ah shit it's in september, that means I won't be able to get out there on a road trip, since it isn't in the summer

It was crowded because of Bumbershoot, iirc.

This year should be "better"?

Make sure to bring back some pics for us.

Sure thing, just like last year.

I will be looking for these things to snap shoot:

Dumb looking guys avoiding cameras.
Fat computer geeks.
Big posters.
My subway sandvich.
Dioramas.
Etc, etc,.

Bumbershoot wouldn't explain why the exposition hall was so crowded, they both run all three days.
