Media and personal blog coverage of PAX 2008

DemonStration

I did a rather large writeup on my blog of PAX, check it out if you'd like:

http://www.redringcircus.com/2008/09/pax-08-whole-bloody-affair.html

I'd link the text in this post but it probably won't transfer over very well with all the links and pictures I put in there.

Anyway, feel free leave comments! I'd love to hear some other impressions of the games at the show.

Thanks!

Link all your personal blog and general media PAX articles in this thread. Bonus points if you find any Seattle local news bits on PAX that don't completely misunderstand the expo.

As someone who's not a Seattle native... do you have a link to a misrepresentative article?; I'm kinda curious to read it now.

I don't have a direct example, but I remember reading something from mainstream news that did a terrible job of portraying PAX. I think this was last year.

example of bad pax article from 2007
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/videogames/329002_penny25.html

i will always remember it cuz the lady pretty much misquoted everything i said

VThornheart

Yeah, that's probably the most bizzare article I've ever read on any subject before. She was acting like she was spying on a group of recently-landed aliens, attempting to examine their unknowable culture.

Nice, I am the guy wearing the MC Frontalot T-shirt in the "ugly" section, it wouldn't be PAX without doughbags that hate fat gamers. Just an amazing blog, really. Needs more gamer hate. Oh and the girl at the bottom left of the image, I would do her I mean, she is a fine looking women, not that I know her or anything. :P A+ for the high school educated blog.

Edit: Wouldn't it be ironic if he was a smoker? That would be great stuff. Smoker rage against fatties is my ironic pie.

Edit: Oh and I just gotta add that Manpeach is the man and out cosplays all those foolz in your cosplay section. Same with the Yuffie, Ike and Captain Falcon cosplayers. I think it's just bad taste on your part to put them in the "bad" section.

Wow, I didn't even bother looking at this guy's blog until the revelation that it was full of douchery. Don't care for boring vanity blogs. Love controversy though. And damn, what a douche.

I don't know what's worse, that the guy had the gall to actually ask the likes of the yuffie, ike, etc to pose for pictures, then put them in his LOLLERTASTIC "bad" section or that he went around taking secret pictures of fatties. Seriously, who even does that?
