I want to kill you for being able to go you son of a bitch (though at least EA streamed their Dead Space panel, which was awesome).

I hope the success of PAX means there can be more fan-based conventions, particularly with industry support. Theories are that, after last year, both VGXPO and GameX are doomed to failure. Which is a shame because I liked both. I'm just sick of seeing nearly every game event being an industry summit or marketing ploy. The Dead Space panel was awesome because, though it wasn't anything major (aside from the DS2 clip), it was just something fun that allowed some insight into its development.

I'd love to see more events like this with industry support, but who knows how well that'll go. At the very least we now have a PAX on either coast, at least.

It's awesome to hear that you're having a great weekend, though.

And holy shit, the free stuff I got.
