New PAX Convention Announced




by Joseph Knoop

PAX East is officially over, and with it came plenty of announcements, gaming tournaments, and good lord that cosplay.

But now those of us in the American south will no longer have to shell out thousands of dollars for airfare and hotel rooms. PAX South, announced at this year's PAX East convention, will take place early next year in San Antonio, TX. PAX South will join PAX East, PAX Prime, and PAX Australia to be the fourth annual gaming convention hosted by Penny Arcade.

"Since its launch in 2004, PAX events have doubled in size almost every year, and our Seattle and Boston events represent the two largest gaming festivals in North America," said Penny Arcade president Robert Khoo in a press release. "We've been hearing for years that those in the south had a tough time making it to the northern corners of the country; PAX South has always been a matter of 'when' rather than 'if.'"

The convention will run from January 23 to January 25. Now bring it to Chicago, you monsters.
