Fair warning to any future PAX South goers. Do not order the michelada. :-)

I had such a great time meeting and talking with everyone… some again, some for the first time! Thanks, VGA community, for making this weekend awesome!

So I just took a quick peek at The Weather Channel’s and Weather Underground’s sites for San Antonio weather during PAX. Highs look to be around high 50s (Fahrenheit) to low 60s, with the lows dropping to around 40F. This is considerably cooler than past years, so definitely pack some warmer clothing than you would have in the past. Fortunately…[Read more]

@PSYCH0TICBI0TIC Regarding transportation, the convention center is downtown and walkable to pretty much all nearby hotels, food, etc. However, if the hotels are filled and you need to book a bit out of walking distance, San Antonio also has Uber (and I believe Lyft too), which I have used in the past.

@zenokage, The site will show a particular badge (3-day pass or indiv. 1 day passes) as having “Low availability” when they get to that point. Not sure how many badges constitute low availability, but you probably should get yours at that point if you are trying to wait it out.

In past years I’ve done 4 nights (Thursday to Monday). The one year I did a hotel (Red Roof Inn), it was about $440 USD after taxes but this cost was split evenly between 2 people. As a group, we tend to have 1 group meal at Dave & Buster’s, which has food in the $10-$15 range, and I’m sure you’ll want to pay extra for the games…[Read more]

You’ll enjoy it @Grakiao! Also, yay for @MokumTokum making a return!

@Quazi, I had a multi-day BBQ fix while there last year, and I’ll probably do it again this year. Found a couple spots I liked last year :-)

I think you may have better luck posting in this thread -> (PAX South 2018) since there are already a few responses in here. Usually the PAX South talk doesn’t start ramping up until after PAX West concludes.

I’m kind of like Yora where I’m busy playing my backlog rather than focusing on new games. However there are a couple that have caught my eye. One is Bloodstained, much for the same reasons as everyone above. Another is Pawarumi, which is a shmup that I backed on Kickstarter on a whim after watching the gameplay footage. Lastly, Ni No Kuni…[Read more]

I got a 3-day pass, and will be here from Thursday to Monday. Right now my lodging is up in the air (may stay where I was last year), and I’m trying to convince a friend to join me this go-round.

@soptheturtle… I also visited the Buckhorn Museum/Saloon on Sunday and would recommend it. Very expansive and has an extra wing devoted to the Texas Rangers of yesteryear.

PAX was great again, guys! Had a ton of fun catching up with old friends and getting to meet new ones!

@euske dibs all on the Kit Kats!

Arriving Thursday @ 11am (Central time), and leaving Monday also at 11am.
