Got drunk on Saturday with a bunch of indie devs and wound up at a karaoke place in Chinatown belting out Runaways by The Killers, among other things.
Also got a pic with the AVGN, who signed my copy of his movie.
Pics!
Start of day two! I went to some shop-booths.
I remember these figures! I remember the only comic shop I knew about had those GT import figures, which I wanted for some reason...
Repackaged NES games for $90!
I would have totally bought these Li'l Gotham figures if I was into figures whatsoever.
The Winged Dragon of Ra was pretty cool, too.
Insane Clown Posse?
Free paper Chocobo hats (didn't take one.)
Mega64 shirts! All of them had pretty amazing artwork. I ended up getting the one on the far left (gold "64.")
Shawn, Kevin, and Eric! Rocco came back shortly after I took this pic. Garrett was there too, but Derrick was at GDC earlier this week and couldn't make it.
I got that PAX-exclusive poster (
context) signed by everyone who was there.
Amazing Skull Kid cosplay.
Capcom's merch store had some truly amazing and tempting items.
Not surprisingly, a lot of it sold out quickly.
Can't tell if the Okami stuff went fast or if they just didn't have much of it to begin with.
The Mario P&D seemed like an OK reskin. I really liked how they had their 3DS's set up, almost like a university with benches and desks.
I backed this game on Kickstarter over a year ago! It's crazy to see it here on the show floor.
Funimation had a booth. For... some reason...
Renegade Kid didn't do their own booth this year, but Xeodrifter's upcoming Steam port was still playable at Gambitious' booth. (Xeodrifter is also coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.)
Really looking forward to Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows!
I got in line an hour early, but apparently this was the second overflow room for the Cinemassacre / AVGN panel.
The Cinemassacre panel, aside from a teaser for more Board James episodes, was basically one long James & Mike Monday with multiple NES games and various audience members being asked to play.
End of day two!
Here's the day's haul. Mega64 gave me an extra poster AND that Deathadder mouse because they accidentally sold me the con-exclusive Blu-ray instead of the 10th Anniversary one (which I bought the next day.) Super cool guys, very personable and understanding.
Start of day three!
"Elite Dangerous" reminds of that stupid movie "Bangkok Dangerous."
Udon's booth had a ton of cool art books, as well as some "sexy" posters that I was too embarrassed to take a pic of.
There were a rotating set of convention sketch artists and the work seemed to be incredibly high quality for the price and speed.
Back at Capcom's store, still smitten with most of the items.
A Nintendo spokesman demoing Code Name: STEAM.
No one wants to play FFXIV? To be fair, most of the demos have no lines and few players on the last day of the show.
How much?
This Sephiroth is sending out mixed vibes.
I checked out this game, Chariot. The idea is that the king has died and you have to pull his casket with the help of a friend. It was highly physics-based.
Now THIS game looked sick as hell. Axiom Verge is a Metroidvania with ridiculously-detailed sprite art.
I have no idea how Adult Swim games continues to pump out small but high quality experiences, but they do. Rock on.
Another one of my favorites from the show floor: Tribute's Curses 'n Chaos. Stunning pixel graphics, too.
I shouldn't have been surprised, but after the show floor closed Capcom started packing up the Caravan Tour and demo tents.
After some dinner and drinks with friends, it was time to go home. It was actually super pleasant and I kinda wanted to just wander around, but I had groceries to buy.
End of day three, end of PAX East 2015!
