If you were at PAX Prime this year, you don't need me to tell you how successful the show was. Merely walking around the packed show floor -- or anywhere nearby downtown Seattle -- told you everything. You literally couldn't walk the streets at any time of the day (or night) without spotting a lanyard.
Such a cool feeling, huh? I suppose if you want to make it all official-like, you're going to want hard data. By Penny Arcade's count, the convention brought in 67,600 people. Compare that to last year's 60,750. We can probably expect to see even more off-site locales next year, if trends continue.
By the way, did anything ever come of that orgy? Was it a success? Inquiring minds need to know!

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

That said, it sounded like it was the jam. I'm really glad PAX has gotten this big. It's such a great way to just unite everyone in this industry. From spectators to the shakers and movers. Some of the stories I've heard are amazing. With the exception of comics I can't think of any entertainment industry that can just unite people like we do in the videogame industry. Music, film, they almost never do real face-to-face shit like this. It's amazing.
(Press Pass FTW)
So many of them! Dtoid represented the classiest bunch as usual <3
I hope so :-)
