Yeah so last night I got a chance to go to the Bioshock release party at Felt in Boston which was really cool. I actually didn't see that they were giving out gift bags on my way out so I missed out on some of the awesomosity in there but I still had a good time. Got to see some people I hadn't seen in a really long time, had a few good drinks, admired the human statue people dressed up as people from Rapture. All in all a good time! It looks like it is going to be pretty awesome, I am definitely looking forward to playing.

Tomorrow I get on a plane and head to Seattle for PAX. I'll be there all Thursday setting up and getting ready and then it will be a torrent of craziness through the end of the weekend. I will say that I will try my best to keep posting while I am out there, and I will, but I also imagine I will be pulled in about 8 different directions at a time so I may lapse here and there. Smidget and PsycoCheerio will be dropping by the booth on Saturday evening, though (be at the booth at 5:45!) and maybe afterwards they can come on and post their impressions. It promises to be a crazy weekend, wish us luck!

Now off to LoveBucket practice to rock quite hard. Later!

BLOGS!

Leo's blog is encountering some technical difficulties but will be linked to when it goes up later tonight.

Ooh yea PAX this week, I cannot wait, should be awesome, I wish I could go, hopefully we get some cool hands on news from people!

Hey Sean, so I know you cant say anything now, but can we expect some news at PAX? Not that seeing the same awesome stuff we saw at E3 wasnt good enough ;P

I've only played the Bioshock demo so far, but it's hot. Too short, but hot! Once I get another job, and plunk down the money for Rock Band and buy myself a set of decent golf clubs, Bioshock is a definite purchase. :D

Good luck with PAX, Sean. I'm severely devastated that I'm stuck in Sacramento, even though my sister lives in Seattle. And she has no interest in gaming. weak.

Info and updates from PAX! they're mandatory! we crave it, and I need new info to ramble about for a week or two with my bro-in-law while we piss off my wife with our obsession about RB. :D

[Smidget]

5:45 it is! I'll probably start hearing that really loud clock ticking sound from 24 in my head as it draws close.

I'll do my best to post a bunch of info/impressions/pics/video everyone *adds to checklist- charge camera battery the night before and dump memory card* Don't know if I'll be able to post about it immediately but as soon as I can I will.

[hmxsean]

To be clear photos are totally fine but video in the booth is something of a no-go due to all sorts of legal stuff I generally don't fully understand. Photos are totally fine, though, even encouraged!

[Smidget]

well then, its a good thing I meant video of me in the shower at the hotel room :eek:

*add to checklist - do 500 pushups before shower
