We came. We played. We drank. We hurt.
After a weekend of proper PAX debauchery there's no better way to wind down the last day than on bean bags, comfortably nerd-piled with people that frequently shower. In the spirit of Destructoid Discusses, we gathered the surviving members of our galley to reflect on PAX and discuss some of our favorite games and moments of the show just moments before the itis of bacon brownies sent us into a coma.
All jokes aside, our collective was impressed with the breadth of games available on the show floor. It seemed to us that the indie games scene at the show did very well, as it was constantly as well-trafficked as the AAA titles. It's truly great to see small developers get so much attention at a show. One extreme example: a scantily clad booth professional confessed to me that they had to delete Super Meat Boy from some of the game systems because people kept getting out of other game demos to boot it up. Viral marketing or hardcore fans? I'll leave that one to the Matlocks.
Look for continued PAX 10 coverage throughout the week as more videos are coming your way. Also, swollen feet. What was your game of the show?

It is within us all. Especially me.
Lucky bastards...
Anyways, the sound in the video is a little too quiet and at times it suddenly becomes louder. I guess, that's what you get in the "field work"
I am going for the latter option... personally as well.

Recommendation for any group videotaping like that though - use a shoe-mount external microphone on the camera itself (not the internal one that picks up machine noise), record the hand-held microphone to a laptop or netbook, then mix the two audio tracks appropriately during editing. The range on that hand-held was ridiculously weak and made it impossible to hear anyone who wasn't near it. At least a good shotgun microphone on the camcorder could have alleviated that. (Sorry for being picky about that, but I do this semi-professionally.)
This is the first time I actually thought indie games stood up against the blockbusters, but I'm a little bit on the same side as Hollie :(
ALWAYS BET ON DUKE!!!
Now if you'll excuse me, I owe my old high school friend a million bucks.
I am so very disappointed.
On topic, I guess. I still don't believe Duke Nukem is a thing.
I love Dtoid's videos. Hell, that Day 2 wrap-up with Holmes and Sterling was exceptional camera work right there.
Pleasure to meet you on the internet.
