I’m back in Chicago now and while it’s sort of nice to be back home (not really) it’s hard to believe that the wild days of playing the latest games, getting trashed in the coolest of bars, and meeting the most awesome of people are already over. The Penny-Arcade guys did a phenomenal job of creating PAX into the next E3 -a video game convention that is truly run by gamers for gamers. From the panels, to the awesome demonstrations, to the contests, to the concerts -everything about the convention was so impressive that I can barely wait until it rolls around next year. Congratulations, Penny-Arcade! You’ve taken a webcomic and somehow transformed it into one of the most widely attended (an estimated 60,000 gamers showed up for the festivities) and most kick-ass video game conventions ever created.

I Met Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh from the hit web series The Guild. They were awesome and super nice. Also briefly met the guys (and gal) from Screw Attack (Stuttering Craig is super cool) and got a quick picture of Adam Sessler who had been a panelist at PAX’s Video Games and Politics panel. Oh, and Jonathan Coulton! God, I love that guy! Oh, and cosplay and booth babes!

There’s not too much else to write, so I’ll just post pictures instead.

Mark Fujii: I'm your typical college student who plays too much video games. I also work as an electronic sales associate, meaning I sell Ipods and violent video games to your children when not trying to sneak off and play Super Smash Bros while the boss isn't looking. Oh, and I'm totally awesome. True fact.
