Join Rooster Teeth in their regularly scheduled program as they drunkenly swear at each other and occasionally at the audience. These guys do this for a living? What jerks! You should go visit them in their booth (#342) and give them a piece of your mind!
Special thanks to xSlowmoGamesx for recording this back in the day.
This…is…Jeopardy! Well, no it's not – since all the answers and questions are going to be about gaming and geek culture, it's more like Mild Peril. The contestants will be you, the PAX attendees, so bring your thinking caps to this panel—you might be on the show! Just don't wear anything that will clash with host Dan Amrich's incredibly blinding red jacket. Part of Game Show Night at PAX Prime 2014!
Hello New England….we are baaaaaaaaaaaaack! Major Nelson Radio returns to PAX East with more fun than ever before. We hope.
Join Larry Hyrb, Xbox LIVE’s Major Nelson, e, lolip0p and Jef United as we record an episode of the award winning podcast “Major Nelson Radio” LIVE in front of the studio audience. We will have prizes, guests and probably fun. Note: Clowns are not permitted at the recording.

PAX East 2012 fast approaches. As the convention is sold out of three-day badges, you can bet there will be dicks out there selling fakes. Luckily: there is a sure-fire way to detect the most common type of forged badge that doesn't even require you to analyze minute details or even verify the newly added hologram.
Try to split the badge in two with your bare hands.
You will not be able to do this to a real badge.
There are some people legitimately selling their badges, and you can legitimately buy said badges from them, but don't be fooled and buy a fake! PAX will kick you out when they catch you, and you're giving your hard-earned space dollars to a bad guy.
Also, non-attendee badges (guest speaker, VIP, etc...) aren't even transferable in the first place. Do you really think a bona fide VIP of the con is selling their own badge on the up and up? Hint: they're not.
We at GeekNights love PAX: it's literally our favorite binary constellation of conventions in the yearly convention circuit. We present every year both East and Prime. Help us help PAX help you not get ripped off!

Gaming livestreams are some of the most popular television programs in the US. There are entire TV networks covering gaming that have existed for decades. Yet, many self-described gamers will eschew football and ice hockey as being somehow distinct from DOTA 2 and CounterStrike. We even like to use the term eSport to separate them from sports. Sports and eSports are fundamentally the same. American football is frighteningly like a distributed turn-based strategy game.
Game Mechanics, Game Design, Spectator Design, the definition of the word Sport, and the future of eSports. Presented at the Penny Arcade Expo - Prime - Monday Aug 31 at 4:00pm in the Sphinx Theatre.
