Take This has announced it will be introducing the “Away from the Keyboard” (AFK) at Pax Australia 2015.
The AFK Room will be a quiet area for people looking to relax and take a break from the busy PAX floor. The room will be staffed with volunteers and clinicians who can answer question and offer support for those taking a break from the show floor.
G’day there and welcome back… to us? After a small break we’re back with another episode of the Game Club, Today we walk to Ryan ‘Rhapsody’ Pearson during PAX Australia. This rising YouTube star likes to focus on Indie rogue-like games for a very specific reason.
Junkee: "The show floor is loud. Hundreds of games and thousands of people. There are endless costumes throughout the crowd. Deadpool is holding hands with Sailor Moon. A group of Waluigis are protesting something and Spider-Man chats with Spider-Gwen. Long lines of people waiting to play games in every direction and every booth is blaring their game or product at high volume. Esports is loud. Fortnite dancing is loud. Zombie children and giant snakes are loud.
In amongst all this noise, there’s one sound that’s missing. An unmistakable sound that typically hums alongside all of this like an engine. A sound I only realise isn’t there until after it was all over — the sound of the internet."
