PAX People
Part I in a series on the "heart" of the Penny Arcade Expo
There's something inherently magically about being in a place with thousands upon thousands of like minded souls. While waiting in line (which I have and will be doing a lot of) I met a guy from Boston here to get his hands on the latest games, a Mom from North Carolina here with her son and interested in the PAX panels on Women in Gaming and Gaming in Culture, and a pair of guys dressed up as ODST troopers who have just come to revel in the atmosphere. People probably as different in politics, values, and origins as you could get, but all brought together under the same banner: gaming.
