At PAX this year I decided to take as many pictures as I could. There is everything from booths, cosplay, crowds, etc. There are even a cool few animated gifs. Enjoy!

"At a party on the Thursday night before PAX started, I had a chance to chat up the community managers for Neverwinter, Star Trek Online, and RaiderZ. As a Trekkie, I needed no selling on Star Trek Online. As a massive fan of Neverwinter, I was already eager. It was with the RaiderZ community manager that I started getting excited for my Saturday morning appointment. Sit back and let me tell you a tale; a tale of heroes, monsters, and the world they live in."

"I have no qualms about free-to-play games. I am immediately wary of free-to-play games that are supported by micro-transactions, however. When the appointment for Loadout was pitched to me during my PAX planning period, I flat out said, “You do not want me covering a micro-transaction supported free-to-play game. I will not be kind.” I was guilted (like a boss) into taking the appointment, and I’m glad that I am such a compassionate and caring friend, because I actually quite enjoyed my time with Edge of Reality’s upcoming team shooter."

"Rise of the Triad has always held a special place with me. It was one of the few things that I connected with other people on in a social environment, and it was simply a brilliant game (and better than DOOM). I had become so comfortable with Rise of the Triad, that when I was in shock at my grandmother’s passing, the only thing I could think to do was sit at my computer and continue the HUNT. Even before its return was announced, it was a title that I held up as a cornerstone of 90s gaming. At QuakeCon, it was announced that Rise of the Triad was returning, and that it would be everything we remembered and more. At PAX, I got a chance to put part of that to the test."
