PAX 2008 exhibitor list is quite large
We think "large" is quite a fitting description of all aspects of this year's Penny Arcade Expo, whether it be the list of exhibitors, the physical space to be occupied in the Washington State Trade and Convention Center in Seattle, or the incredibly impressive words spewed from the mouth of Tycho's fleshy counterpart. We can't wait.Attendees of the show, which runs from Aug. 29th to Aug. 31st, will be able to lay their appendages on plenty of upcoming games from Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Ubisoft, EA, Activision and many more (read the full list after the break). In addition to panels, tournaments and the traditional (and traditionally outrageous) Omegathon competition, event organizers plan to captivate you with "two nights of music that will almost certainly change your life," an independent games showcase and, err, the ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters. It says here.
In another part of the press release, Penny Arcade's Robert Khoo says, "We nearly doubled our exhibition hall and added another 80,000 square feet of content overall, so the show is going to be pretty amazing this year. You should come. I think you would like it." We believe this man.

Can I come?
Undead Priest @ Jun 27th 2008 3:13PM
That's what she said!
But seriously, I think PAX is the new E3.
LiqwidZero @ Jun 27th 2008 3:15PM
If you plan on visiting Washington for the event, you could. All you need to do is register: http://www.pennyarcadeexpo.com/registration.php
It's not like E3. It's open to everyone.
FemaleOrca @ Jun 27th 2008 3:27PM
oh good to know.
Ive been emotionally ruined by E3s exclusivity ever since a was a wee lad.
I wonder if they will have a blindfolded piano player this year.

I don't want to think about a female whale cumming.
How slimy!
playwhutyalike @ Jun 27th 2008 3:13PM
The company I work for has a shutdown at that time period. I think I might check it out.
Intentless @ Jun 27th 2008 3:18PM
Hmmmm Bungie......
xFenixKnightx @ Jun 27th 2008 3:27PM
I know, I wonder what Bungie has up thier sleeves.
CTC XBL-supapaypamawio PSN-ctclaw @ Jun 27th 2008 4:40PM
Hopefully something good now that they are free of Microsoft and Halo.
Intentless @ Jun 27th 2008 3:18PM
Hmmmm Bungie......

My apologies for the doubler...

I just noticed that too... this could be interesting.
Brandon @ Jun 27th 2008 7:32PM
Bungie has been at this event for the past couple of years. They are usually just selling cool Halo stuff but don't have any cool videos or demos or anything.
Last year they were selling a lot of apparel and collectibles. Hopefully this year will be something better.
velocitySTRIKE @ Jun 27th 2008 8:21PM
This repetition stuff was hilarious.
Austin @ Jun 27th 2008 3:22PM
Good luck getting a hotel close by. I had to settle for a crappy one half a mile away. But, meh, sounds like the walk will be worth it. Can't wait.
playwhutyalike @ Jun 27th 2008 3:51PM
Brock Sampson is the f'in man! Venture Bros Season 3 is better than ever too.
ogvor @ Jun 27th 2008 3:59PM
I got one of the hotels they display on their website a block from the convention. That was a couple of months ago, they might be full now.
Austin @ Jun 27th 2008 8:05PM
Yeah, they're full up. I think I'll get both my tickets and my hotel in march next year.
Kodros @ Jun 27th 2008 11:48PM
You guys can take the bus. There are plenty of hotels in downtown Seattle and Bellevue.
FOXHOUND @ Jun 27th 2008 3:23PM
Gotta admit, they never cease to impress me with PAX. The comic however...
Mr Khan @ Jun 27th 2008 3:29PM
The ESA should be heavily lobbied to hold their E3 conferences at PAX
Thus making perfection
Double J @ Jun 27th 2008 4:42PM
I shall be there with bells(perhaps literally, I'm undecided) on. Living in the Seattle area, it is my gaming duty to do such.
Dwag @ Jun 28th 2008 2:04AM
I see Bungies there hopefully we get some info on Halo 4 or some other Haloverse project maybe they can bring back Marathon or maybe something entirely new that has nothing to do with Halo or any game they've worked on before.
scratch @ Jun 29th 2008 4:44PM
Been to PAX the last two years, and i highly recommend it! Living in Seattle, it's great that its now in the WA state convention center. It's closer, bigger, and with better access.
Dunno if I'll be able to go this year. My first child is due any day now! But we are both big gamers, so if she's an easy child, we may!
Elan @ Aug 25th 2008 3:43PM
That's really not a bad showing - you kinda made it sound like there would be a handful (literally) of dev's and pub's there.
