We’re back from the Penny Arcade Expo, and still recovering from the sheer abundance of majesty that is PAX. To say the least, it was a great experience. Of course, we got to witness demos from lots of unreleased games from Mass Effect to On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness (some playable, some not) and see some great nerd-rock bands like Jonathan Coulton, the Neskimos, and the Minibosses. We got to see some great panels from the likes of Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman, and by all accounts, the keynote by Wil Wheaton was life altering, as was my experience of seeing Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth, and Lana Skye playing Rock Band. I was also lucky enough to experience the greatest game of Jenga that has ever been played.
Oh yeah, and we were showing off Hegemony, too.
We’re glad we’ve gone. Not only was it a fun experience, but we got to show Hegemony to a lot of people who hadn’t heard of it, and it’s always reaffirming to hear people tell us that we’re taking the game in the right direction.
Thanks to everybody who stopped by our booth, and thanks to the guys at Penny Arcade for putting together (to paraphrase Tycho) the greatest con in the universe. We hope to see you again next year!
