Review: FEZ (XBLA)
Three long years ago I saw a trailer for a game that blew my mind. It was unlike anything I’d seen at the time: a return to side-scrolling pixel platforming. On the day we recorded our very first episode (June 28, 2008) I showed the guys a random clip/trailer I’d found online and right away we were all in awe of what we’d hoped FEZ was going to be.

GDP@PAX, day 2 – leveling up
On the way to the convention centre yesterday morning I had some bittersweet thoughts: I was a bit bummed because I knew that today was gonna be our last day at PAX East while at the same time, all I could think of was how much fun I was gonna have once we arrived.
The goal [...]

Chatter indicated that said there was already a line up for the Gabe and Tycho Q&A (which started at 11:30am). Then the others woke up, we got packed up for the [...]
PAX East Day 0, the Trip Down
Just a quick day recap before heading to bed to get ready for checkin and tomorrow’s 10:30am Gearbox meetup. So far the trip has been great – long, but a fun time. We crossed into New York State around 5:30, paid no toll at the border, and booked it through New York state as fast as legally possible (okay, maybe a bit faster).
