Hey, guys! There's this video game event in Boston in March of this year that several thousand of you go to and I'm just curious who is going to PAX East 2015? I'm slowly becoming a PAX East regular and this will be my 3rd go-around in Boston and that excitement is starting to build now.

So are you going? What's your name? Where are you staying? You wanna play WWF Wrestlemania 2000 with me in Boston?

I think I'm gonna end my PAX virginity this year.

I don't have tickets to the show yet, but I think I've got a place for me to stay and I'm constantly eyeing flights.

I'll be there again this year. I think I have only missed one so far.

I should be there to get too hungover then play some games.

I'm Aaron Trites' PAX dumb fun understudy. There's no way I'm missing this show.

I'll be there, yo! Let's drink too much, get sick, and then stumble into the convention center at 2pm the next day wearing sunglasses and cursing loud noises!

@dalai: Its my 3rd year and hell yeah. Although the better game is WCW vs NWO: World Tour.

I'll be there. Even better. Got the call to be an Omeganaut today!

I'm there friday and sunday. It'll be pretty baller?

@pyromagnestir I believe will be there friday?

Yep! So on Friday if you see a guy walking around trying not to look completely terrified to be surrounded by so many people then feel free to say hi. If that guy responds to your "hi" by running away crying then it was probably me!

/wave

May shell out for a pass for this one, too. They're sold out on the PAX site, right?

Hey im going to Pax East! Hope to hang out with people there!

Heh. 3-Day badges sold out in about 9 minutes. Saturday was gone within a few hours.

Anyone have any extra passes? :(

I'll be there too. See you duders in a little less than two months.

I'll be holding you in place to force you to interact.

@marino: fuck me. Unless I can find a reasonable one on StubHub, see you crazy cats at Prime.

I think I've gotten pretty strong because of all the rock climbing I don't know that you could restrain me!

This year would have been my year for PAX, but sadly it was not. I WILL be going in 2016, even if I have to go up there by myself.

Heading to PAX East for the third year in a row, this time at the Colonade. Hope the PAX buses are decent as I do not want to drop $20/day on Uber rides like last year.

I can't wait for my first PAX! I finally managed to snag some passes after years of missing out.

I'm going! I'll be there with my better half on Saturday and Sunday since we missed out on the 3 day passes.

I am assuming that I am going to be festooned in GB shirts (I have 3) and I will be happy to see all of you there. I will be Street Passing like a mofo. :D

I'll be there, @fobwashed shirt in hand (and/or on body)!

@mintyice: I might have a spare set of passes. It would be a fri,sat, and sun set.

@aterangelus: awesome! PM me?

Definitely will be there, likely wearing the 2014 "Bombduders" shirt. See you at the event and the GB Panel!!!

im going

I will be there

I'm going. Hopefully I'll meet some of you weirdos.

Right here going!

I'm going. Name is Ben Chicka, simply BenChicka on Twitter if you want to find me for some reason during PAX. I live in Boston so I won't be staying near by, but can give tips on places to go and how to get there. I also have a panel Sunday at 3:30. Come if you are bored.

I'll be there. Going solo so definitely down to hang out once I'm done peddling my music to game developers.

I'll be at PAX East as well. The indie game I've been working on has a booth, so I'll probably be there most of the event if anyone wants to say hello.

@paul_tillich: What's your panel about?

The panel is humanities (philosophical ethics) informed by science and applied to gross cases of harassment in video games over the past few years. Sunday 3:30 in the Arachnid: "The Science of Online Bullying: A Lesson in Diversity"

Oxytocin has been called “the moral molecule.” It is linked to trust and cooperation. High levels result from things like handshakes at PAX. Even reactions to tweets equal those created in person. But oxytocin has a dark side. In large groups it may increase hostility toward those considered outsiders. Join two Ph.D. students for a conversation on how communal ethics benefit from hospitality and invitation as the science is described then applied to cases of harassment in the gaming world.

@paul_tillich said:

Sounds like an interesting panel. If I have free time I'll come check it out.

As someone that is a part of a game studio that is 75% female, I've seen a lot of online bullying of co-workers.

@wolfenhex: Thanks. What is your game?

@paul_tillich: The game is called Pixel: ru² (you can read about it in the wiki). Here's a completely unbiased map of where the booth is if you'd like to stop by and say hello.

I'll be on hand with my 3DS. I'll also look like the old man in the room since I now have a beard. It has grays in it. =(

But it looks so good. Fuck yeah!

I'm just going Saturday, but I live in the area. I'm also going to the Borderlands Pax Party that night.

Seems like as good a place as any to advertise.

Hi, Dalai here. I created this topic and I have a special announcement for those who will be attending PAX East and for some reason still need accommodations. I have an opening available in the prime real estate known as the Westin Waterfront which is connected to the convention center. If you still need a place to sleep or you have a room outside of the city you can cancel, contact me via Twitter or PM me. I have the room from Wednesday to Sunday and you'll be with myself, @aurahack (the duder with the Puyo Puyo trading cards) and @smashecontrollers. And judging by the harsh winter Boston is having, this is the best chance for those who want to stay indoors.

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled roll call.

Edit: Found a suitable axe murderer to stay with us. Disregard the above post.

I will confirm that none of us are axe murders...

That you know of.

I am going

I'll be there! I'm heading up with some friends who are showing their game called Runbow, everyone should come check it out!

I'll be there Sunday if anyone wants to meet up, otherwise i'll see you all at Paxamania brother!

First time going to PAX! Only got a Sunday ticket though, so still not sure what to get up to on the Saturday.

2nd time going to a PAX, first PAX East. I'm super excited. Anyone know what the line situation is like for the GB Panel? I'm hopping on a plane that Friday as soon as I finish some tests and the GB Panel is the only thing I really want to go to.

I know there's no official meetup this year, but is there gonna be a forum cool guys meet up like I've heard about in years past? If not I'm just gonna go indulge in some steak tips by myself
