Well guess what guys? You're about to get my version ofPAX, and it's awesome.  Coverage of the coolest PAX East games, a couple Bitmob exclusive details on unreleased games, screaming matches with Adam Sessler, Shane Bettenhausen's crazy stories, and my own stupid adventures to top things off.

In this episode, Saturday morning strikes with a vengeance, I get to see the Death of Print panel, and the Pixel Revolt guys get to show off their shiny press badges to the less fortunate.

Chapter 8: Saturday Had to Come Eventually

"Hey you said last night to make sure we were up at 7 to get in line on time."

"I lied."

My head hurt quite a bit at that moment. One moment I was at the TC Lounge with the Pixel Revolt guys and Adam Sessler, and the next moment I'm being woken up by my best friend Brian. The couch is flying through the room at 60 mph, and I politely inform the driver that I've arrived at my stop. I step off the couch, fall head first into the coffee table, and crawl on all fours to the bathroom. I eventually made it back to the couch, and decidedly slept for another 4 hours.

Luckily, the ultimate hangover cure was nearby, and after the extra beauty sleep, I grabbed a few Tylenol and a cold beer. Instantly feeling better, we found a ride from our new friend Cara (She was letting us sleep on her couch), and set sail for PAX East round 2.

Chapter 9: It's Good to Have Friends

We had our other good friend Tyler get in line for us at the Death of Print panel.  We did this because we knew there was no way in hell we'd make it on time.  He managed to get in the main line, and we jumped up front with him and got really sweet spots. I know it's cheating, but I was not missing this panel. Even cutting in line, we still had to wait over an hour and a half before the doors opened. The panel itself was really interesting, and it was funny to see John Davison admit that Gamepro hired him to give the magazine a proper burial instead of a second wind as I had originally thought.

John Davison, Julian Murdoch, and Jeff Green.  I was so close I could touch them, but there were too many Enforcers.

I was going to ask an awesome question, but they stopped answering them before I made it to the front. I don't even remember what I was going to ask; it couldn't have been that important. I only had one thing left that I had to do before the day was out, and that wasn't until 8. With nearly an endless supply of time at my disposal, I tasked myself with the longest line at PAX, Red Dead Redemption.

Chapter 10: It Sucks to Have Friends With Press Badges

Did I say Red Dead Redemption? I meant lunch! Brian, Harold Burnett, and I all teamed up and got lunch at the food court in the Prudential Center. It was a sea swimming with PAX badges, and I decided to get something unique to Boston for my lunch, food court Chinese food. Harold was more fortunate, and chose the burrito route, where he ran into Ken Levine. I told Harold he should have asked Ken when he would be ready to announce what kind of burrito he had. I thought it was funny. Apparently Ken Levine isn't very decisive when it comes to ordering burritos, and took almost 10 minutes to figure out what he wanted.

With our stomachs filled, it was finally Red Dead Redemption time. Ken Levine made Harold late for his Naughty Dog panel, and instead was forced to endure the Red Dead line with us. We started about 5 feet away from the entrance, which would have been sweet if the line wasn't going in the opposite direction. We would have to wait for the line to circle around the entire booth before making our way back to square one.

5 minutes in

We met some kid. I don't remember his name, I didn't like him very much.

15 minutes in

The Pixel Revolt guys came out of their way to say hi to us! It was very nice of them, and we were really happy to talk with them. Oh wait, nope, they were actually there for a private demo appointment for the game! The PR girl unhooked the velvet rope and let them in, leaving us with our jaw dropped and still stuck in line.

"Don't worry guys", she said, "I've been timing it, and it only takes 35 more minutes to get from this point in the line to inside the demo room."

30 minutes in

The Pixel Revolt guys come out and decide to come brag at how fun the game is, and how awesome it is not to wait in line with a huge hangover. Also according to Jeff Grubb: "You can skin a horse." Well that certainly makes me feel better; now I have something to look forward to at the end of this line.

Brett's looking very pleased with himself.  Go on Brett, laugh it up.

Two hours and 10 minutes in (50 minutes in if you're running on PR time)

Apparently you don't need to be able to count to make it into PR, and I was looking forward to running into the Rockstar booth and kicking this girl in the shin a lot more than I was actually looking forward to playing the game. If you kick a PR rep in the middle of a crowded expo hall, will anyone hear her scream? There was only one way to find out.

We finally made it into the booth after over two hours of waiting, and the PR girl traded me a bag full of swag in exchange for not kicking her in the shin. I didn't actually announce my intentions, but she doesn't know just how close she came to hopping around like a pirate for the second half of PAX.

As for my actual impressions on the game, I'll write it up in a separate preview.  Look forward to it tomorrow night.
