Question of the Day, August 30, 2010

[Onyx Oblivion]

No. But I'm looking forward to any news on anything that Insomniac is doing.

But the New York Comic Con...I might go to that.

 

[Digikid]

No. I hate crowds. Too many emotions.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

I would, but I can't

 

[Pielikey]

Nope. Too far away, and PAX East is held an hour's drive from where I live in March.

 

[Jark212]

Unfortunately not, between collage class and me living in Colorado it's not likely to happen...

 

[Polaris19]

I have no money so no. Id like to, but no.

There is one crucial option missing:

No, but I would if weren't living on the other side of the planet.

Well, not literally, but Gabe should follow up on his idea to have a PAX Europe.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

No. I don't have the money (or interest really) for it. Plus a slight aversion to people.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Where is the option for "No, I can't get away"

Gamescon, Cologne?

I want to go to PAX this year more than any other year in the foreseeable future. One reason, Guild Wars 2 demo.

But, I can't get off work, I can't drive (for another month), I probably can't get permission to fly to seattle solo for my "stupid videogames".

should be option for "no, but really want to"

I was at GamesCom, but I would actually be more interested in the panels that are held at PAX.
However, if there would be a PAX in Europe, they should also try to get the same speakers as in the US. Living in Frankfurt, I can only stand to listen to Cevat Yerli (CryTek) so far, especially if he is usually the first to get invited to any kind of games-related stuff.

Cologne however, might be a great place to hold PAX as there is lots of space and they also have the conference center right next to it to get the panels up and running (as it happens to be during the Euro GDC just before GamesCom).

 

[Lord Nosferatu]

I want to, but I had to pick "I don't attend conventions" since they're usualy too far away to be affordable. This is in Seattle, right? Plane ticket from Sofia to there and back is twice my monthly salary.

 

[Jared]

Unfortunatly wrong end of the pond for me

 

[Jesus Phish]

Living in Ireland no I wont be going to PAX. I probably would if it was accessable to me, if they had a PAX Europe set in the UK or a large enough city in central Europe I'd probably attend.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

I'd LOVE to go to a fun convention like PAX or Comic-Con, but I live in the UK. I want to dress up in strange costumes and hang out with geeks like me.

Oh well there's always <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.229010-Escapism-UK-Halloween-2010-Event>Escapism UK: Halloween. Ten times better than PAX as there's lots of candy and fairground rides.

Nowhere near Seattle. Wish a convention would some to Pittsburgh. Seriously, it's okay here. Just go rent the convention center for a weekend.
