GarageGames Enjoys Some PAXing

GarageGames enjoys some PAXing
Last weekend a crew from GarageGames descended on Meydenbauer Center for the 2nd annual PAX. We got a booth this year so we could put the event under 'marketing expenses - conference".


There were 8 of us scheduled to trek out of the Garage on a pilgrimage to gamer Nerdvana only 5 could actually break away from crunch on our 360 project to enter the fray.


Tim and Adam joined me for booth duty. If we thought being from the team that made Tribes was considered cool we had no idea of the brand power of Timothy Aste. We discovered Tim has his own fan club, we really need to make t-shirts before IGC.



Josh and Brian went on a mission not to embarrass GG in the Tekken 5 & Soul Calibur 2 tournaments - they came very close to actually making us proud as they were beaten by the top competitors usually in the quarter-finals.

We played hard and we enjoyed getting to show off both our games and tools to those able to drop by our booth and not get away quick enough. We met over 100 Torque users over the few days of fun and had the chance to talk tech from everything from Xbox and TSE to T2D and casual games.

We got to see Orbz (the version now in final cert), ThinkTanks, Marble Blast and Mutant Storm get played on the Xbox and it was evident that those games were meant for the console.


I have to say the entire weekend was, as Josh would say, 'awesome'! The attitude of everyone was fantastic and I've never experienced a more pleasant and helpful team around an exhibit - makes wanting to go back an absolute must for 2006.

I can't wait for the 4th IGC just around the corner. If you're not having fun being an indie... you're not doing it right.
