For detailed descriptions of each event, as well as the rest of the weekend’s schedule, be sure to check out the PAX East site using the link posted above. Oh and for those of you who did a double take up there at the 2:30 schedule, that “Strip Search” panel is about the reality TV show. (Hopefully that doesn’t disappoint you too much, but I’m not here to judge.)

Looks like we’re in for the usual PAX experience; chock full of awesome panels, great music, an exciting display out on the show floor, and all the tournaments you can handle. As of this past weekend, passes are officially sold out for each and every night, so hopefully anyone interested in attending already got their registration taken care of. I regrettably had to miss out on PAX East last year, but our time apart has only strengthened my desire to get back to my favorite convention for gamers, by gamers. If you want to hang out or play a few tabletop games, feel free to send me a message on Twitter. If you want to tell me how much you hate my feature editorials, I guess that’s fine too. Or you could just tell me how much you love me. Either way, I’ll be there having a good time and you’re welcome to chill alongside me.

Who here plans on attending PAX East this year? Let us know which days and what events you plan on being around for in the comments below.

About The Author

Vincent Parisi

I guess I'm the typical, modern day nerd. I was raised right on Batman: TAS and old-school TMNT. I've been a core gamer since I was 2 years old (I was beating Mario before I could finish sentences) and haven't thought twice about it since. My favorite game genre is RPG for sure. I love the advent of channels like Nerdist and Geek and Sundry, and will never turn down an invitation to a Con. (Though I don't cosplay... yet.) I hate not owning the latest and greatest gadgets and aspire to find my place in the world of game journalism. Favorite Games: The Mass Effect trilogy, Super Mario World, the BioShock series, the Ratchet and Clank series, anything featuring Nolan North. Favorite shows: FireFly (Browncoats, unite!), Bones, Castle, Spectacular Spider-Man (RIP), Transformers Prime. Anything featuring the voice talents of Steve Blum, Gina Torres, Ashley Johnson, or Yuri Lowenthal. Favorite Comics: Amazing Spider-Man (Thanks for the memories), most things featuring Batman, any one where Green Arrow makes an appearance.
