Hello everyone! For a while Jim has been asking me to sit down and write for the Channel Hide blog to get a second opinion on things. It seems appropriate. I've been a part of Hidesquadron for many years and I'm excited to see where things could go in the future after meeting all of the amazing people at PAX. My gaming preferences and the things I look for in a game differ from Jim's in several ways and I think that this is a strength that he asked for my differing opinion on the convention.There were tons of things to do at PAX, and it was impossible to do them all. I'll try to talk about things that Jim didn't get a chance to in his first post, to spread out the experience a little.
PAX was amazing. This was the first time I had ever been to a convention of any kind for something that was not mainstream...although with 70,000 people showing up for PAX East, it's probably more mainstream than many of us will admit.
