It's that time of year again, that time when all the gamers crawl out from under their snack mound forts and venture out beyond the shadowy barrier of their gaming rooms to infest Seattle. PAX10 is here! This should be the best year yet, with a lineup of awesome that's longer than the life of my mouse's scroll wheel on the main event site. The Penny Arcade Expo has been my trip to sanity for the past 3 years running, and has allowed me to grow immensely, both as a person and as a professional. With panel discussions from industry vets on all sorts of topics every year, I have been able to mix and mingle with some of the most creative minds on the planet, and to learn heaps upon heaps of stuff.
Game Design, Narrative Design, Dynamic Events, and many other topics have crossed my list of attending panels. I thrive on this convention, like a brain bug thrives on human brain tissue in Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers. My hope this year, is to not only fully recharge my creative batteries, but to go beyond the learning, and truly delve full on into the creative side of the industry in a large capacity. I am currently at work on a number of projects, of which I hope to share more in the months ahead here.
Alas, slumber beckons, and I shall answer in kind. This minstrel is on a journey with the breaking of the morrow's dawn. I shall return with a plethora of stories to share.
