PAX 06

Okay, I TOTALLY wish that I could have gone to PAX this year. Shortage of funds was my ultimate downfall! Anyway I've been reading some of the fantastic coverage on
http://www.gamehelper.com/pax06/index.html

This event just looks and sounds like the BEST EVENT EVER!! I've never been like a long term Penny Arcade fan, I kind of check in on it every week or so, but a couple of my friends are daily readers. To be honest I am actually far more interested in the Expo itself. For once a gaming event which is not run by mega corporations, where the gamers are in charge.

I think it's stupid for people to say that this is the new E3 or whatever, I mean as far as I'm concerned E3 never looked this good! E3 always looked very stressful, and it occured to me years ago that it SHOULD be an industry invite only event. PAX is the perfect partner for E3, catering for the gamers themselves.

I'm starting saving now!

Pluto IS a Planet

"The re-classification adopted by the assembly, however, has been disputed by some members who had left the conference on the grounds that the timetable had been "hijacked" with only 4% of eligible voters being left in the conference room at the time the resolution was adopted"

This is the quote from the wikipedia article on Pluto. In my own opinion, Pluto should be kept as a planet, if only for the skae of tradition. I mean come on, who saidwe had to give equal status to all rocks? :D

BOL UK

I've been a regular listener to the Buzz Out Loud Podcast (http://bol.cnet.com/) for a long time now, and they recently featured this site which aims to get BOL to come to the UK. Now, as an Irish listener, and one of only i think 20 in the whole country, this is about as near as I'm ever going to get to actually meeting the BOL team, and for this reason, I am all for it. So please check out the site and stick your name to it!
