That picture with the stacks upon stacks of board games is a beautiful, beautiful sight.

You could actually check ANY of them out just by letting them hold your ID. Pretty amazing stuff! I wish I had a games closet stocked like that.

You've never been to a Boardgaming con, have you? Those are pretty small stacks of pretty common games.
If you want to see real stacks of games, go look for pictures of BGG.con. Over a thousand different games to borrow by showing your ID, some of which have never even been printed for the US market. Tens of thousands of dollars in games to give away as door prices.
Going to PAX for the board games is like going to GEN-CON for the computer games.

I thought the Star Wars Minis tournament was going to take place at PAX this year? Did that change?

They were giving those out at this giant Dragon Age pub to promote the game.

There is something special about the tangibility of games such as these that video games will never really be able to emulate.
