DAY 1: PAX Australia – October 6 Blog
DAY 2: PAX Australia – October 7 Blog
Here’s what we’re up to on Day 3 of PAX Australia.
5:30PM
We’re done. After a mammoth weekend of gaming, meeting friends, filming interviews and having a good time… It’s time to call it.
Thank you so much for following along with us. Until next year!
3:25PM
Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days has a playable demo on the show floor.
With the modern graphics mixed with 80s themes, this title finds the player surviving a zombie torn America scavenging for the last of the world’s supplies.
It was a long wait! Ellie stood in line for 2.5 hours to play the demo, which may seem extreme but the break from the crowd was sort of nice.
“Experiencing this zombie horror game in a bite sized piece of 10 minutes left us hungering for more. A title I’ll definitely be adding to my steam wishlist for its arrival next year,” Ellie said.
2:27PM
We’re about three hours away from the Omegathon final round!
The annual tournament involves 20 randomly chosen attendees battling it out across various video games until all but one are eliminated, the winner being sent to an international PAX destination of their choosing.
The game in the final round is a surprise and being the final event for the whole weekend, it tends to be a pretty rowdy atmosphere. Make sure to check it out 5:30PM at the Main Theatre.
