PAX East takes place in just under a month! Nerds Handsome intelligent people with alternative interests such as gaming from around the world are descending upon Boston, Massachusetts. The expo is open from March 11-13 and gives both the press and general gaming audience a chance to check out new titles long before they're released, partake in panels, attend epic concerts, and have an otherwise amazing nerdy weekend. By the way, three-day passes are sold out, but we are going to be giving some passes away this Friday! Details to come later this week.
This will be the fifth year in a row that Destructoid has attended the Penny Arcade Expo, and each year the show just gets better and better. Our PAX East Google Group has 60 members already and we plan on having meetups every night like usual. Join up if you want to know everything that will be happening! Our turnouts for these meetups are always pretty epic, and this year we're looking to make these events even more special.
[ Sponsor a Destructoid Meetup! We're at every gaming event, so host your next party with us! Reach over 2 million humans and get memorably sauced with our amazing community. Get in touch: hamza [at] destructoid.com ]

E.T. for the Atari 2600 has a crazy story behind it, and it's something any videogame fan should learn about. Long story short, Atari crushed all the copies of E.T. they couldn't sell and buried it under concrete in a landfil...
Gamers are capable of doing some awesomely odd stuff for the sole purpose of saying they did it. A Drexel University professor is taking that concept and raising the bar. He's raising it 437 feet, to be exact.

Back in the day, everyone thought virtual reality was going to be the future of games. We made movies, TV shows, and even very bad early attempts to make head-mounted displays. All of those devices failed, and over time, VR d...
Why the denizens of Hyrule still exchange Rupees is beyond me. Have you seen the size of those things? A single shard occupies an entire treasure chest! How could anybody fit more than one in their pocket?

Yeah, we've all seen so-called "real-life Mario Kart" before, but always as a parody rather than a legitimate adaptation of the game mechanics in a physical setting. But wait around long enough and the magic of SCIENCE will ...
When it comes to controllers, I try to steer clear of third-party options, as I've never once had a better experience with a knock-off versus the real thing. On the other hand, I gladly welcome any and all limited edition pad...
I will never be able to answer the question "What's your first love: music or videogames?" So, I'm always happy when the two combine to make something rad. Such is the case with Tumblr Music History in GIFs.

So Nintendo Power is over and done with. Tears and all that. Pour one out for our homies.
