Hello from Boston!
That’s right, we here at Third Rate Minion are visiting Boston for the next Penny
Arcade Expo! That means in the coming
days, you can expect posts from us about the goings-on at the showfloor and
panels we attend. That also means expect
a deluge of video content in the coming weeks leading into April and hopefully
before May.
There is a lot going on this year. The Indie Megabooth is massive even compared
to last year. Every one of the main
three console producers are going to be there, even with Microsoft and Sony’s
next-generation consoles on the horizon.
Publishers are making more announcements and public debuts than ever
before, and that means the crowds will be even more intense! Sure going to be a fun year, even if it gets
us exhausted in the process.
Our trip was vastly better than last year’s, which had an
additional hour thanks to the massive Easter traffic combined with Hartford rush hour
traffic part-way into the trip. This
time, though, with only an occasional back-up here and there, the trip was a
solid one, even with the foggy and snowy weather that appeared all over the
place. Our hotel is not the same as last
year due to price, but I think it may have been a poor choice to change from
the last hotel. Well, we are going to
have to live with it, and so far service has been decent otherwise.
See us tomorrow night when we give you our first day
overview from the convention center! In
the meantime, feel free to watch our Ocarina of Time playthrough, which we just
finished a few days ago! /shamelessplug
