My Notes from PAX

Post-N'Gai, Post EGM Video Games Journalism

  • "If this shirt doesn't stink, I'm not gaming hard enough."
    - That guy's shirt? Drenched in sweat.
  • Gus Mastrapa looks like a flattened Alan Moore.
  • Inexplicable Lil' Jon Noises
  • Chris Kohler: "Games journalism needs an old guard"
  • Mastrapa: How can journalistic outlets find a non ad-supported product to sell?
  • Pat Klepek looks like that one kid from Freaks and Geeks.
  • Klepek: "Clicks is juice, fool"
  • Karen Chu: "Think more"
    -Web 2.0: now that all this user-created info has been generated, what to do with it? How can you analyze it or make it more useful?

Q&A

  • This guy majored in 'Informatics?'
  • KChu: "It's easy to write a one-star review and be an asshole"
  • Kohler: "You don't have to be the one definitive review."
  • Sweaty shirt guy has finally dried out.
  • Creepy British Asian guy just announced that he's started a magazine. I kind of hate him, but I admire his shameless self-promotion.
  • Really, why should you care about games journalism being taken seriously?
