The biggest gaming show in Australia will return in 2016.
G’day there and welcome back… to us? After a small break we’re back with another episode of the Game Club, Today we walk to Ryan ‘Rhapsody’ Pearson during PAX Australia. This rising YouTube star likes to focus on Indie rogue-like games for a very specific reason.
Junkee: "The show floor is loud. Hundreds of games and thousands of people. There are endless costumes throughout the crowd. Deadpool is holding hands with Sailor Moon. A group of Waluigis are protesting something and Spider-Man chats with Spider-Gwen. Long lines of people waiting to play games in every direction and every booth is blaring their game or product at high volume. Esports is loud. Fortnite dancing is loud. Zombie children and giant snakes are loud.
In amongst all this noise, there’s one sound that’s missing. An unmistakable sound that typically hums alongside all of this like an engine. A sound I only realise isn’t there until after it was all over — the sound of the internet."
If you're in Melbourne this weekend get a taste of the PAX Australia experience with the pop-up event in Fed Square.
I heard they've booked it in for the next five years actually. Not sure if that is true, but considering its success it would be no surprise.
Okay I think with this much lead time there is a pretty good chance I can get to it next year. Really want to get along to one and soak it up.
Fantastic. Anyone have any idea when tickets usually go on sale?
