tell that to the people milling out of the clubs at 2am in the morning
I mean, watching people stagger towards the cab lanes, then topple over vomiting isn't really an example of a successful night out.
But yeah, last trains are at 12:20. Boston nightlife is obnoxious.
Hey all! I'll be at pax east at the Tripwire booth. Both chivalry 2 and maneater will be at the show (both playable).
stop by and say hi :)

What's Good Games is throwing a Friday night get together from 6-8 at Lucky's. I'm heading there before the Not For Resale screening.
I'm working in the expo hall. Will stop by in a bit.
As for me, I will be around Sanshee, PM Studios, Cougar, Schitt Audio, IRacing and AK Racing. I'm wearing black framed glasses, a lanyard decked with pins, neon orange shoes, and a grey fanny pack that says Hug Someone. Come ask me questions or ask for maps/lanyards.
What are Bethesda showing at their "offsite event"?
edit. I checked out their website it appears to just be FO76/ESO/Doom Eternal.

Are we expecting any gameplay demos or big reveals? I kinda stopped paying attention when every other developer was dropping out so I dont know who or what's gonna be there
OP

Word is that more tickets will be released tonight.
Unless Gearbox has a surprise, Baldurs Gate 3 was always the big one.
Tripwire-Stone I passed by the booth a few times but one of your co-workers said you stepped out. I'll swing by around hall close if anything.
FF7 remake demo was good. I enjoyed playing it. Animal Crossing was good but I had no idea what I was doing.
Indie game that got on my radar was Garden Story. that was pretty fun.
I don't have a video but I think one was on Twitter. Nintendo's booth has a huge photo zone just for Animal Crossing that's pretty neat. Harmonix's booth is also really nice.

After 9 years of going to show and never having done it before, this year I tried using ear plugs (like these) in the expo hall floor to help with feeling overwhelmed by the general din of all the background noise. It helped a ton, and my ears didn't feel dead once I got home.
Also does anyone know how long it took Warp Pipe reservations to fill up for today? I completely blanked one it Tuesday and by the time I remembered right before midnight they were already filled.
Best booth so far of the show in my book was the little booth by EQ Studios to promote their new murder mystery exploration (don't call it a walking simulator) game Scene Investigators. They had 4 laptops running a demo, but half of their booth was a live and fairly accurate recreation of the murder scene in the demo. So if you wanted to do a live version you could sign up for a time slot later in the day and they were giving people 25 minutes to see if they could find enough clues to answer 5 questions. Really impressed with their simple yet novel approach which made the booth stick out in my mind.

Sorry I missed you? Will you be there today (Friday)? If so, I'll be around :)
The hardest part of the AC line is actually getting in there whenever the line gets uncapped. Since there's like 20 demo stations and three players per station the line moves pretty fast. I know I saw a few people standing by the wall waiting for the line to be uncapped. Once you're in line the wait is about an hour
In case anyone cares, we did meet since I'm an Enhorser.
By the end of this weekend I'm going to end up hating Tom Nook. 😭
I wear headphones on the show floor that are usually off and it helps a ton.
In there like swimwear baybee!!!!
Yeah as far as I know. They added it in the second wave so that's probably why it isn't in the program. I saw it in the app.

Reminder: The meetup at Shojo is tonight!
Give my regards to grandpa Joe.

Currently still in line at the Nintendo booth. I don't recommend waiting in line until near 12:00, as I'm starting to see a few people leaving the line for brunch/lunch.
After missing last year for the first time since I ever started going, this was a triumphant return and damn good for me too.
By "everything" do you mean the last minute pull-outs by Sony, etc?
Yeah, the pullouts and the dramatic lack of meet and greets.
Dare I say, when it comes to how the show was actually ran, this might have been the tightest run ship it's ever been. Lines were short, directions were clear, people weren't left in blistering cold...it was a really solid show.
Agreed! I showed up with a suitcase (had a flight to catch right after) this morning around half past nine and somehow still made it in in under 10 minutes. Plus the pullouts just led to a much more breathable showfloor, and anecdotally I had lots of interactions with kind folks.
DayZ party went on well into midnight. I ended up having about 8 drinks, no hangover. Out of every Saturday I've ever done at an East, this was the easiest one I've done from a work POV. Last day should bring some fun.
Come see me if ya haven't Boston yetis. I'll be around Cougar, Sanshee, AK Racing vicinity. I love the hell of PAX and wouldn't miss it for anything so 0 regrets.

3rd PAX experience, 3rd incredible time. There are some amazing games coming from the indie world and i cannot wait!
After last year I'd argue the lack of Facebook and a huge Twitch booth is a bigger impact than Sony.
Tower of babel was my game of the show. So simple but a group of 4 of us turned a 5 min game into a 30+ min battle to decide a winner. Developers were laughing and thanking us for drawing a crowd.
Star renegade and rising hell were also great games.
