PAX East 2011 Friday Update

Rate this Entry
OK, so technically it will be Saturday when I post this, but it has been a hell of a busy day. To start with, my flight out of Columbus was delayed by almost 2 hours, and I didn't get into Boston until about 9PM last night. In blatant disregard for my travel-weary state, Abaci forced me on a death march of over a mile, in the rain, to go get dinner at Anthem. The food was amazing, though, and I got to meet his fiancée, Kwyl (her character name in Rift). We got some Shrimp Corndogs to start with, and for dessert, we all had some of the best bread pudding I have ever had.





NOTE: It is almost 1 am and I am about to fall asleep at my laptop. I have a ton more to post and will do so tomorrow, but I am just out of gas right now. Instead, I will just post some photos from the day and from the Trion party this evening.

Swag

    You cleaned up with the swag.

    We did pretty well with the TOR stuff (shirts, posters, hats and such) but with the queue times to play, and the time I spent with the dev's, I hardly had a chance to stand in the other lines. I made sure to see L.A. Noire before I left, but I know I missed a ton. Incidently, was great to see you guys there!

    I didnt play...and I dont know even know if it was playable...

    I went over to the booth, watched the video, and talked to a few of the folks there about it, and for me, its a must get at release. My biggest concern was how much content and replayability. Content I'm fine with, but replayability, I'm not sold.

    Honestly I spent 99% of my time at another booth, I made the remark to Ryath "Oh, you mean there is other stuff here?" when I saw him Friday afternoon. L.A. Noire was just my concession to the fact I shouldnt just spend all of my time in one place!
