PAX Prime 2011 begins this Friday! Destructoid has been at every PAX since 2007 and each year the show just gets better and better. In fact, the convention center is made up of TWO floors full of games and entertainment this year.
Along with the games, there’s going to be a bunch of panels and Destructoid is hosting two panels this year. First up is the “How to Run Your Own Gaming Website and Win at Life” on Saturday at 12:30 PM at the Unicorn Theatre. Then on Sunday in the Unicorn Theatre at 12PM is Destructoid Live with Nick Chester, Jim Sterling, Max Scoville, Niero and myself!
We’ll be taking our group picture at the end of our panel on Sunday so make sure to wear your Destructoid gear then. Of course, we’ll also be having our nightly meetups from Thursday through Sunday:
