That's like $20 tops? Doesn't seem as good as last year.
Last year was the second season pass for Borderlands 2 worth like $10. They gave away the prequel free at east and never duplicate the free stuff.
$30.

Wow, and the game is $60 to boot. Guess I'm waiting for a GOTY.
I wrote a column about my experiences at PAX if anyone would like to read it. The guys that made it out to the meetups were one of the reasons why I wrote it.

Did anyone else try the PrioVR?
It was actually pretty cool. I had someone record some video of me in the getup:

It wasn't my fault guys...

I'm going and I know a few other Gaffers going. You won't be alone.
Don't worry about it. I'll make sure a meetup happens. Hopefully, I can team up with someone local and get some good stuff planned.
South tickets are already on sale.
No way. When did they go on sale?
July 9th.
3 Days went day one, but there are still singles available for every day.

Early enough being 5 PM for a 7 PM event. Jeez they ran out of scarves and shirts fast. Finally got in at like 9 PM, found quite a few old friends there. Li's Zelda was great.

So what's the consensus on PAX this year? Better/worse than before?
As my first year going it was a lot to take in. Didn't really stand in line for anything and got a decent amount of swag. I should've made more plans to attend the parties though.
I'll probably go next year if I'm lucky enough to get tickets.

Well they said first come first serve. . . Or in cosplay in good timing. Usually for any major developer panel or event, you want to be 2-3 hours in advance, unless PAX enforcement is around. But this was Nintendo ran so. . . Sad thing about the cosplay tho, there was a really good Skyward Sword Zelda that tried popping in last minute, but got denied. To their credit though, the use of the wristbands worked out well to guarantee those that got there in time.
Had a great yet tiring time from panel to panel, and all the line standing. Sounded like GAF meetup was cool too, but I was there with other folks already, plus had other plans during GAF meetup times. IE The concerts.
I'm going as well.
Content wise This PAX wasn't anything special. No new consoles to try for the first time or tons of jaw dropping must have games playable for the first time ala Uncharted. However, I had more fun this weekend then I've probably ever had. Met a lot of cool people waiting in line and at the parties and hung out with my GAF peeps almost every night.
It was an amazing weekend and I can't wait to do it again.

This was my first PAX, I got tickets for Saturday and Sunday, but on the second day I was so bored that I left and went home at 2 PM.
I don't care about FPS, MOBAs nor board games, so I don't think I'm part of the target audience. The only panel I went to was the Grim Fandango one, it was awesome because I got to see Peter McConnell and Tim Schafer, but they didn't really show or say anything interesting about the remaster.
Too be honest, I think the only good part of the event were the indie booths, cause the games were pure fun. Also it was the best and easiest way to try the Oculus Rift.
Still, I waited one hour for Hyrule Warriors and it was great, but I feel that I won't do that again in my life.
Oh, my other highlight was playing NIdhogg on PS4, lol.
The show has hundreds of incredible indie games just waiting for you to discover them. If all you see are FPSs, MOBAs, and board games, I think you weren't looking hard enough.
