About Pax East

It’s official! Cliff Bleszinski will be joining PAX East as the Storytime Speaker.

In 2004, the folks at Penny Arcade decided they wanted a show exclusively for gaming. Sure, comics, anime, and other nerd hobbies were cool, and those activities all had their own shows… so what about games? From that idea spawned a small 4,500 person event in Bellevue, Washington, focused on the culture and community that is gaming.

From our listing of the 2013 edition. Details may have changed since.
