We had a blast at PAX 2007, and Destructoid is already gearing up for a repeat performance in August of this year. The guest list is also looking pretty hot for PAX 2008.
Ars Technica reports that BioShock creative director, 2K Boston President, and overall Big Daddy Ken Levine will show face and provide the keynote speech. I'll be equipping my Fanboy Plasmid.
"Obviously, Ken is pimp supreme," said Penny Arcade's Robert Khoo. "We're super excited to have him open up the show."
Ars was kind enough to list the other guests, but did not mention the OneUps in the headline. I've met many of the Ars guys, and they're pretty great overall. But I'm going to have to ask why they left the best videogame band out of the headline. Maybe it was a fluke?
Aside from my incredible band, fan fav MC Chris, Freezepop, The MiniBosses, MC Frontalot, The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, and Anamanaguchi will be there to perform for you.
Wow. With Ken Levine and all of these bands alone, you'd feel pretty stupid for missing PAX 2008, right? No, Destructoid readers are too smart for that. You've already cleared August 29-31 and pre-registered, right?

PAX's concerts are going to be incredible this year. Im freakin stoked.
Best part, I'm going to see MC Chris 2 weeks before PAX... 2 MC Chris concerts in a month? Oh fuck yes!
Seriously, what's going on with E3? Governer of Texas keynoting a California located gaming event? Do they auction those things out now?
MC Chris is busy this summer, what with Warped Tour and all.
Hopefully I'll get to see Freezepop twice, a friend of mine at Stevens says they are playing there?
I will also be playing the lobby with a boom box and one of those pre-school mics with the spring in it...
not really...
maybe though.
Did King just praise MC Chris but diss MC Frontalot? Man, is this Opposites Day, or something?
On a seperate note, Ken Levine is a badass, and not only because he looks like Charlie Day from Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
GA: That would be amazing. I demand youtubeage if it happens.
also did someone say MC Chris? BITCH THIS AINT A CUTSCENE!
