I’m a rhythm guy. I was in band for 11 years. I am a percussionist, that still plays drumset. It shouldn’t have to be said that I love rhythm games.

2016 marked my second attendance of PAX East, and this type of expo in general. Year two was definitely a different experience from year one, in that I spent more time exploring on my own instead of just waiting for Andrew to finish appointments.

This past weekend was PAX East 2016, and it will not only my first conference as press, but my first major conference in general. Going into it, I had no idea of what to expect for the weekend. Lucky for me, my first appointment warmed me up and had me amped for the weekend. My first appointment was with The Game Bakers, an indie studio based out of France, and their game Furi.
Welcome to our gallery of pictures from PAX East 2016. Marooners’ Rock is catching all the action firsthand. We got some interviews planned, plenty of meet and greets with developers, and of course gaming for the ages. Stay tuned into Marooners’ Rock for all the latest. It’s (almost) as good as being there.
