Penny Arcade Expo

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Tycho says it best as always:

With this - the fifth annual Penny Arcade Expo - the quintad will be complete.

Our perennial city will bloom again, an eruption of color, the jut of our emerald realm. Let our flags dance! The Washington State Convention Center remembers us in its very frame. It is the vessel of our dominion, and it will again be permeated by our wireless sacraments.

Welcome to Arcadia - our respite, and our capitol.

Welcome to PAX .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

PAX is a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers hosted by Penny Arcade . We call it a festival because in addition to dedicated tournaments and freeplay areas we've got nerdcore concerts, panel discussions, the weekend-long Omegathon event, and an exhibitor hall filled with booths displaying the latest from top game publishers and developers. Even with all this amazing content the best part of PAX is hanging out with other people who know their shit when it comes to games.
