PAX 2009. Another great event is in the can.

Just got back from Seattle, WA where the GameSpot crew was out covering the Penny Arcade Expo 2009, and what a great event that was. This was my first PAX and it was really great to be surrounded by so many people that were so excited about all forms of gaming. When you attend so many events geared specifically for the gaming press, it's very easy to forget that there are so many more people out there that would love to be in your shoes, doing what we get to do and seeing what we get to see. It's great to attend an event which is obviously geared towards the people who these games are created for... the people who are the most passionate about games.. all the gamers out there who travel distances far and wide to be able to attend an event like PAX. It was a great reminder that, as we work to get through all the videos we shot at PAX, there are people all over the world that wished they could have been there. It's our job to try and give them a taste of what this event was like. In addition to all the cool stuff that you saw hitting the site this past weekend like demos for great games like Forza Motorsport 3, Star Wars the Old Republic, MAG, Ratchet and Clank Future: a Crack in Time, and DeathSpank, you'll be seeing the wonderful keynote by co-creator of Money Island Ron Gilbert, the LucasArts/BioWare SW:TOR live presentation in its entirety, more interviews and demos, and a wrap up piece for TOTS making their way on to the site. Hopefully all of our hard work will help you bring a bit of PAX into your lives and make you remember why you're so obsessed about games. It sure helped me.
