What it has that E3 doesn't
Whether or not you like the comic,PAXis worth attending. It'sa homegrown, fan-run gaminggeekfest.Huge LAN parties, brilliant concerts - it's about as nerdcore a party as there is. If just the words"Optimus Rhyme"and "The NESkimos" get you excited, you'll probably enjoy PAX.

PAX is different from E3 in pretty much every way.It'sa party for gamers, not for big publishers.In fact,the publishers are the outsiders at PAX - they've got towork hard to convince you that they should be there.
When? Where? Can I go?
