PAX 2009 Show Features and Lineup Unveiled

Even though the Penny-Arcade Expo is over four months away, it's hard NOT to get excited for it already.  To make things even more difficult, the show organizers have revealed some details on the event set to take place on September 4th through the 6th.

The show is currently set to showcase over 60 exhibitors including:  The Behemoth, Bethesda, Bioware, Blizzard, Capcom, CCP Games, EA, Foundation 9, Microsoft, Mythic, Nintendo, NC Soft, Rockstar, Telltale, Turbine, Ubisoft, Valve, and WB Games.  And don't worry, we'll have plenty of Co-Optimus staff there to cover the event this year. 

Along with the ever popular gaming and geek related panels panels, attendees will have free access to musical performances from Freezepop, Jonathan Coulton, MC Frontalot, Anamanaguchi and, new for this year, Paul and Storm and Metroid Metal.

Of course the best part about PAX is the community, and we really hope we can meet some of you face to face at the show.  If you've ever wanted to go to a three day gaming party, travel to some sort of geek Mecca, well PAX is for you!

If I had money I would love to make my way to PAX to experience the new stuff first hand rather than just reading about it.

I am stoked for this. People who have been in gaming press for years still get giddy, and this is my first time. Gonna have to buy a PSP for the road.

Is it sad that out of everything planned, I'm most excited to see Paul & Storm on the band list?

They tour with Coulton, and they absolutely steal the show.

Definitely looking forward to going again this year and seeing everyone again. And the new concert lineup will be awesome.

Glad to see Valve on the list of exhibitors this year (last year they went w/ EA for L4D) but now they're on their own apparently. Hopefully this means we'll hear about Ep3.

BAH! I want E3 info! Can't wait for that!

Anyway, yes I agree with Jackel. It's always better when the developers are the ones showcasing their work. It's preferable to the publisher.

But there are times when the devs need to do work and no PR.

Pass bought, hotel room reserved, and plane ticket purchased. All set for Labor Day weekend. This year I'll have both of my co-optimus shirts to wear, not just the one with some mystery white powder smudges.

So you guys sound more excited about being at this expo than like E3 or any other expo I've heard of you guys going to. Or is it just me?

Well, I guess the big thing with PAX, Psyclops, is that it's new, it's hip, and it's trendy, lol! E3's getting a little stale, Comiccon doesn't focus enough on the video games, many other conferences are out of the country, etc. etc.

Looks to be a good line up and a fun time for all who will attend.
 
Torg001 at 10:09 AM on 9.8.2009
Have fun there but don't forget about us)

I would be too. Its cool that they are taking co-optimus seriously enough to issue press passes to you guys.

@blake, I just thought it was really cool that Co-Optimus could get 4 people out there this year.
 
Rogue_hunter at 12:39 PM on 9.9.2009
There was so much this year, I'm still in "mind asplode" mode over how much stuff was there.
 
Heretic Machine at 03:34 PM on 9.9.2009
Really need to try to make it out to one of these things one day. Maybe once they do the east-coast show.

would be nice to be able to go to one of those places
