We came, we saw, we shot. And filmed. And reported.

Our first PAX packed in a hell of lot. The show's atmosphere was decidedly different from the other tentpole events we usually frequent over the course of the year. There was a fevered intensity similar to E3, but a more relaxed, jovial tone to the crowds that marked it more a convention for and about gamers, rather than the games themselves. As usual, there were a few colourful souls and interesting sights around the convention. Here's a few of our favourites.
