Goozex at PAX 2007
PAX 2007 has ended and it was quite an event! Wil Wheaton kicked things off with a bang up job with the opening keynote address to thousands of rabid PAX fans and gamers alike. It was followed by exhibits, demos, Q&A from the likes of Gabe & Tyco, Red vs. Blue team and many others. Mark and Jon will give you the scoop on their PAX experiences this year on GoozCast #5.
Until then, checkout the forum and read up on some of the things that made their eyes tear and hairs stick up! Special thanks to Goozex member Virtual Madden for some of the pics posted there.
