    I guess if you hadn't seen this, you haven't seen the new sequel to this he just came out with?

    It's PAX Prime guys, not PAX West...other than that, I will be using this advice heavily.

    Considering they poorly decided on the plural "Paxis" when "Paces" would have been preferable, I put little stock into their silly naming. It is PAX West and PAX Best henceforth.

    Also, 1 by definition is not prime...just sayin.

    If PAX West is Pax Prime, then Pax East is PAXimus Maximus.

    I like it. Let's keep it.

    Nice review of PAX East!

    Oh wait, it's not happened yet.

    Scott, there are 3 first-party Nintendo games coming out this summer. Super Mario Galaxy on May 23rd, Sin and Punishment: Star Sucessor on June 7th, and Metroid: Other M on June 27th. The new Zelda is supposedly coming out at the end of the year.

    Unfortunately I won't be able to make it. Really wanted to but I haven't started earning vacation time from my new federal government job yet.

    Also loved hearing Rym singing Billie Jean. Nice singing voice.

    Yeah, I mentioned all of those except S&P;, which I never heard of. It's intriguing, though, because it's from Treasure. Everything we said in the show still applies. Not enough ultra high quality first party titles.

    EDIT: You know, I've been thinking. What's going to happen to the cell phone data networks a couple tens of thousands of geeks descend on Boston?

    The first one is on the Virtual Console, it's pretty good but the control scheme is really weird.

    Great episode, laughed out loud a few times, got some funny looks from my wife :)

    The DS is such a little work horse, if only the Wii could take up the mantle.
    Clash of heroes is a fantastic game, glad it got a mention.
  • lackofcheeselackofcheese
    I figure there ought to be some multiplayer Clash of Heroes at PAX, no?

    Probably.

    What about the remake of Cave Story, that was just released this week and if I had monies I would buy it and play it in a heartbeat.
  • DiddgeryDiddgery
    Cave Story's not first party, though.

    Are we counting re-makes? Cave story isn't super long either.

    I had, but I didn't recognize most of the songs, so it had no impact. The one I linked to was much more in line with my style.

    Did you guys edit this episode? Rym singing Billy Jean at 36:42. TeeeHeehe.

    It is actually rare that we edit anything at all out these days. All of our effort is going toward the rapidly approaching video content. ^_~

    I recognised something like half, but they made up for it by whistling the X-Files theme and then singing Firefly.

    The Naruto part is pretty awesome. Wasn't expecting that good of a Japanese singing accent.

    I know Rym & Scott are not fans of mall food court, but with the crappy weather on Friday, and convenience and price, the food court wasn't half bad. I mostly at the Boston Chowda shop because my throat has been hurting and nothing like a hot bowl of clam chowda to make it feel better. I also went to the Indian place, and it was really good. Too bad I couldn't finish it because I was so full.

    I will say that having Trader Joe's and Walgreens across the main entrance was a god send. The consumption of Trader Joe's oatmeal chocolate cookies took place many a time.

    However, I did go out eat with many FRC at a Greek place called Steve's. The food was amazing for the price.

    Other than that, most of what you said I can agree with. However, as a PAX veteran, I never went to the Expo Hall or attended any of the concerts. I'm not saying the concerts are worth it, but I'd rather play games and meet new people.

    All I have to say is that scrym's advice to avoid the T is quite silly. Aside from the crazy dude who screamed at everyone to wake up, it was perfectly fine.
