PAX!

Yesterday I went to PAX, the video game expo hosted by the creators of a video game related webcomic

Things I did:

*Played a boss demo for the new legend of zelda game that's due next march, titled "Twilight Princess". Aparently you use animals to help you, including falcons and monkeys (and yes of course your trusty pony Epona.) I was impressed with the graphics, and the horse fighting demo, though I didn't get to try it, looked really cool. The boss battle demo I played was interesting, though very short considering I waited about 30 minutes to play ut,

*Discovered an interesting board game called "pitch cars" where you, as the name impies flick cars around a track. The game play is very addicting, and I'm skeming on how to make my own since the game is hard to find and costs $75-100.

*played a ALPHA version of a online RPG. It was awsome! I have the chance even to play the beta (A reward for winning the mission on the demo) but I'll need a better computer before then.

*Tried out "America's Army", a free game created by the US army, but I kept getting team killed. :{

Overall, I had a relaly good time, and met new people and found that I really do stink at the guitar-guitar revolution. :)
