PAX is currently the biggest gaming EXPO in NA, they expect 30,000 vistors at least this year. I think next year ill attend the panels cause the ones they have sound interesting, but im limited on time this year so ill just hit the showflow probably.

Cool.  Blog it so that we know the cool or overhyped stuff that are being shown.  Take some pics of the more outrageous booths.  I want to see how they compare to E3.  Are Drinky and TVC going as well?

Who cares about that?  How many booth babes have you scored with?

Zero, E306 was the year that cut that stuff major. Besides, why would a cigarillo bang a booth babe? You're very nosy.

So you can brag about it, dummy.  There was still some T&A at the last E3.  I remember some scantily clad chicks at gamespot's basketball contest. But I guess games are more important to nerds.  I blew off this cute chick that works for EA because she was bothering me too much while I was trying out Sims on the PSP.

I've been to Tokyo Game Show two years running, but it's such a pain to stand in line to play demos and stuff...

Should I go this year?

reeking nerd biomass (tm drohne).

I was down at Pink Godzilla yesterday trying to place a preorder on Another Century's Episode 3 before meeting my wife for date night, they  had spilled out of the convention center and were everywhere... There was this socially inept mulleted duder in a Umbrella Corp trenchcoat rambling on about how the store sucked for not carrying Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance. I felt really bad the for employee trying to deal with him.

I did see regular, groomed, well adjusted people with big Folklore bags, too. So it's not all weird smelly types.

It doesn't cost much, right?  I'd probably go if I were as close as you, at least once.  I've never been before, but I got sick of trade shows years ago.  E3 was fun when it was in Atlanta, since I go see whatever shit I liked and then go right home, but when it moved back to L.A. it started to suck.  I went to two L.A. shows and then took an opportunity I had to go to Japan for the first time in 2001 instead.  My good buddy Leguna said "You'd rather go to JAPAN THAN E3?!  THAT'S CRAZY!!"   :lol

Entrance fee is 1,000 yen, plus train fare which is about 1,000 yen to go there and go back again.  The trade show ambiance is not for me.  It's so noisy and all the hustle and bustle annoys me, plus I'm not a huge fan of going somewhere just to play demos, heh.

I'll probably go just so I can say I did.  Every year, my friends back home ask me to take pictures of the booth babes and every year, I tell them to fuck off.  That's one of the reasons I'm reluctant to go through it again this year. :lol
