ninja_blade

sup! I was going to attend the show with my best friend but life kicked in, and he got married...then joined the army, so im out a buddy.
The friends I do have left aren't as hardcore into videogames like me (plus I already got em going with me to comic con) and was wondering if I can get a group going?

If you are coming before the show we all could hang out eat somewhere

or if anyone is already meeting up

I live in Boston, and im 26 yrs.

I wonder if there's a better thread for this?

Event wise there's the MMT and the Dinner as well, and the Twitter thread will have info about gatherings.

Plus you can get to know people here on the forums or go into the IRC: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=89104

Tons of ways to meet people.

Really the entire point of PAX (to me at least) is social experiences with fellow gamers. Social gameplay (DS, PC and console freeplay, tabletop freeplay, various tournaments) are only a small part of it. You don't so much come to PAX to play games, which many of us can do just fine at home; you come to PAX to experience games and gaming culture in a richly social context.

Or to put it another way: you know that social shell all gamers have to develop to fit into normal society, where you hide your interests and do your best to blend in and be normal? Leave that shell at home -- or at least leave it at the convention center doors. Maybe info desk can hold onto it for you. :-) At PAX you're among friends.

It's OK to be socially tentative at first. Everyone is. You will eventually let yourself open up and be yourself, and you will discover as many of your THOUSANDS of new friends as you let yourself discover.

(At least this is my answer to people who are afraid of coming to PAX and being alone. Maybe that wasn't what you were trying to ask about.)

Also, look around at the other subforums and start posting. They all have their own identities and they all have get togethers at PAX.
