PAX East 2010 went down in Boston a couple of weeks ago and gamers from all over got to geek out. This was the first PAX on the East Coast and one of the biggest gaming conventions to hit that side of the country in a very long time. The show was a lot smaller compared to the West Coast version with what was on the main show floor but the expo drew just as many people as PAX Prime.
As in years past, the Community wrote up some awesome blogs and threw up all of the videos and pictures they took. It’s a big lovefest after the break and shows you what PAX really means to Destructoid.
Nik Monroe, or Nik UK as I like to call him now, was thefirst out of the gatewith his PAX East blog. Nik does a lovely job of recapping just went down every night and the general feeling that was felt among the entire Community that was present.

PAX East 2010 had some unfortunate failures, but all in all it was a great time for all that came out. I believe our numbers were around 90 as far as Dtoiders went which is more than expected. It’s great that the East Coast kids finally have a convention of their own and I’m positive that next year’s PAX East will easily be better than this year’s show.
Once again, thank you Mike and Jerry for creating the Penny Arcade Expo and thanks to all those that help make PAX something special every single year. See you all at PAX Prime 2010 in Seattle in just five months!
