TBB Leaves PAX Dissappointed and Smelly
crafted by: AlexHere at TBB, we give you only the honest to smelly video game nerd truth. PAX East was the first video game game convention I've been to, and unfortunately I left disappointed. The expo is geared toward the gaming community, not towards the announcement and showcase of new games. The expo area lacked lots of big name developers. The EA booth was only displaying Dante's Inferno. Seriously? I can just play the demo in the comfort of my home where nerds aren't farting everywhere and you can't tell if you smell sorta good pizza or stinky pizza farts.
On the upside, Paul and I got to play Steel Battalion in a 5 vs 5 match which was really very fun. But it says a lot when my favorite PAX experience was with a game that is 8 years old...
Uhhg, we all feel sick now, just check out these pictures, more pictures on the way soon from Paul's Camera.

TBB at pax!
crafted by: AlexYour favorite TBB editors are at pax. Currently Paul and Alex are waiting to play Steel Battalion while Kevin bitches about how bad it smells in here. We can't wait to play. Pictures will cone soonish if I can figure out how to post them from my phone.
Otherwise there is nothing too exciting here, except the smell of pizza and BO mixing.
PAX Badge has arrived!!
crafted by: AlexI came home today after a miserable day of work (got called into a "quick" meeting that lasted 3 hours.) On our little mail table lay an envelop with a return address of PAX. Excited, I opened up the envelop, quickly threw down the contents on my warm fleece blanket, and took some pictures in poor lighting just for you! Interestingly they are giving out charlie cards which are used to travel on Bostons public transportation. But I'm sure they are not preloaded with any monies. But a word to the wise (or the people that want to party it up during PAX weekend), the public transportation stops around12:30, so be sure and plan to leave the bars early, or catch a cab home.
Also, this ain't the Big Apple, bars in Boston close at 2PM at the latest, so plan to bring the party back to your hotel room for 50 rounds of Mario Party and some Jager Bombs. Personally I like the rules on the back of the pass. Note that is only says that drugs are bad, not that you shouldn't do them. So here are the pictures for your edutainment, click the images for a closer look.
