Games, Cosplay, and The Guild at PAX East

April 11, 2012Nicole Wakelin2

One of the cons I look forward to most is PAX East because it focuses on all kinds of games. It doesn’t matter if you favor PC, Xbox, or Wii, or board games, RPGs, and card games. If you’re a gamer, then this is your con. In its third year it was even better […]
