  • PAX South Announced for January 23-25 in San Antonio

    There is already PAX Prime, PAX East, and PAX Australia and soon there will be PAX South. Penny Arcade's Jerry Holkins announced that PAX South will occur January 23-25 in San Antonio, Texas.
    "The love of gaming in all its many forms, whether that be on a TV, a computer, a phone, or even a tabletop, is hitting an all-time high. PAX gives gaming fans one place to get a glimpse of emerging trends and does it in a truly fun and interactive way," said Lance Fensterman, Global Vice President of ReedPOP.

    Robert Khoo, Penny Arcade President, added, "Since its launch in 2004, PAX events have doubled in size almost every year, and our Seattle and Boston events represent the two largest gaming festivals in North America. We've been hearing for years that those in the south had a tough time making it to the northern corners of the country; PAX South has always been a matter of 'when' rather than 'if.'"

      Well Robert did say numerous times that Mike and Jerry can handle two more PAXs each year (that's Robert speaking on their behalf as Mike and Jerry don't know how that works and rely on Robert to do all the thinking), so it looks like there's only one unknown PAX left to plan and announce. Of course, eventually Mike did mention that he wants to do more PAXs where they're not involved at all. Just a simple party where nobody really knows what Penny-Arcade is. I don't agree with that vision, but I understand Mike doesn't want a huge Penny-Arcade corporation creating and controlling everything. He just wants a happy community.

      (I still think the diversity lounge defeats its own purpose. Kind of like The First Nations lounge of my university, it's too isolated to promote inclusiveness. So building a happy community like Mike wants could use some more work.)

      Edit: Okay apparently this is the last expansion from what I saw on a YouTube interview. I guess Robert was kidding when he said they can do five a year.
