When are we gonna start seeing the list of sponsors for PAX this year? I really hope that Nintendo has a booth as big as last years, but right now the company I most want to have a booth at PAX is WizKids... Anyone that plays Pirates may have already seen this, but for those that havnt... I would love to be able to get my hands on one of those at PAX.

    Make sure to slap around MS and try to get them to bring a real booth this year.

    I don't think there will be any shortage of BAWLS this year

    They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.

    There'd better not be. There'd also better not be a shortage of those SnoBawls. That shit was awesome when I got overheated. Hell, I'd buy snowcones full of the stuff if I could.

    SnoBawls were indeed fucking awesome...

    And I completely agree about the previous comment about Microsoft, they had a good showing at PAX 04, but at PAX 05 it felt like a complete afterthought when they should have been showing off the 360 or something...

    Not to speak heresy here, but why did they go with Bawls instead of say, Red Bull?

    Probably because Bawls is marketed primarily to gamers, and Red Bull is marketed to asshole fratboys.

    also the bawls reps are fucking metal while the rebull reps are complete jackasses (I used to work for a redbull distrubitor).

    The gamer thing is also true :P and you cant make any sexual innuendos with redbull!

    Well you can...you just have to be into that sort of thing.

    Who else is hoping for some Irrational action?
    Or did Irrational get bought out? (haven't been keeping up with corporate news lately....)

    With the 360 almost in full swing around august I really hope we get to see some serious game previews from MGS and other big names publishing 360 games. It's a lot more realistic to expect 360 playable previews then a Nintendo Revolution preview. But I am hoping for that too.

    Well, Nintendo really needs to get people to play the Revolution to sell it... Granted, not so much to the PA crowd, but alot of people out there are still iffy on the Revolution until they get a chance to try out the controller...

    Which now that I think about it, in-store demo setups for the Revolution are sure to be awkward...

    Bawls is to Red Bull what fresh nachos are to month-old stale chips. Better. In every way.
