PAX East
Monday, May 14th, 2012For the past few years, PAX East has graced the Boston Convention Center, filling South Boston with video game news, a place for card game enthusiasts to meet up, and the odor of 1,000 unwashed nerds. Somehow, I had never been until this year. I’ll admit, I went in biased. I was expecting hordes of social awkward nerds, reeking of Cheetos and body odor, dressed in ill-fitting “costumed play” outfits. Turns out I was only half right.
When I was a teenage nerd, video games were a thing many of my class mates played, but only the nerdiest of the nerds kept up on all the news. How times have changed. At PAX, I was met with a diverse crowd … that reeked of body odor. Who cares! I just got a brand new camera, so let’s see how that turned out.
Many put a lot of effort into their costumes.
