Grab It have some very exciting news to share with everyone today. Over the last few months, they have been working with the organisers of the upcoming Australian Penny Arcade Expo – which runs from October 31 to September 2 – on a special edition of Grab It that ties into the big show. Episode 8 of Grab It – the digital magazine for iPad - offers a full, comprehensive guide to the indie games that will be showcased at the expo.
Whether you plan on attending and want to get a heads up on the must-play games, or are watching on from afar and want to keep on top of what you’re missing, there is no better destination. This could very well be the single best piece of indie games focused media ever created.
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."
If you're in Melbourne this weekend get a taste of the PAX Australia experience with the pop-up event in Fed Square.
Looking forward to it. Will keep an eye out to snag it while it's free in the first couple of days
PAX Aus is going to be amazing! So many talented indie devs on disaply.
