Penny Arcade Expo 2008

It’s that time of the year again. We’re headed back to school, spending more time at work. Summer is nearing its end, but it won’t go quietly. The Penny Arcade Expo is coming up this weekend.

What is PAX? Their own FAQ explains it best:

PAX is a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers. We call it a festival because in addition to dedicated tournaments and freeplay areas we’ve got nerdcore concerts, panel discussions, the weekend-long Omegathon event, and an exhibitor hall filled with booths displaying the latest from top game publishers and developers. Even with all this amazing content the best part of PAX is hanging out with other people who know their shit when it comes to games.

We’re traveling to the Penny Arcade Expo and bringing back all of the news, hands-on coverage, and interviews that you could want. Keep checking this page (and the front page) throughout this week and next as we add additional coverage!
