Another year, another wonderful PAX East event! Kudos to the awesome people at Penny Arcade as I saw so many games, got to play so many demos and card games (many thanks to the patient people who taught me Munchkin Zombies and Revolution) and saw a LOT of cosplay. I have a video of some [...]

As I wait here in the media room, I look around at a lot of people who represent different blogs and companies, trying to report what is going on in the video game world.  People have some high-end cameras, video cameras and a crew of 2, 3, or even 4 people.  But what if you [...]
