Ah, Seattle. Home of rain, coffee, grunge, and most importantly, the uber-geeky gaming festival known to hordes of Penny Arcade fans as Penny Arcade Expo, or simply PAX. If you've never heard of PAX before, it's essentially a three-day celebration of all the things that gamers love, sponsored by the gaming gurus responsible for the amusing web comics at www.penny-arcade.com. There are concerts, game exhibits, gaming free-play areas, game product previews, and, of course, more games than you can shake a stick at (without your arm getting pretty tired, that is)! There's even a weekend-long Omegathon event where gamers pit their skills against one another in the ultimate gaming challenge. PAX is something akin to heaven for nerds, which works just fine for me.
