Great article Jes. I will forever giggle at the thought of the ending to that Left 4 Dead 2 game.

I too find it difficult to explain PAX to people who haven't been, or worse to people that aren't gamers. Explaining to a non-gamer that I'm flying all the way to Seattle for a gaming convention where I will be hanging out with friends I know online gets me the same look as if I were attempting to introduce them to my imaginary friend Bob.

I think you've done as good a job as humanly possible.

I like how amongst the five balancing elements of nerdity, you don't mention Scott Kurtz.

Take that, Steve!

(psssst: he's an alright guy)

Thanks guys. I love that pic of Max and I. My camera performed rather poorly at the show, so I am glad nothing else was used. hehe

I know Scott is kinda important, but this was the first year that I saw what he looks like. I consider him to be secondary, really. lol

Great article. I will one year see PAX. Either the West or East coast. And that picture still makes me laugh.

In the spirit of nerdiness: who knew that the image had FTL drive?
