PAXU 2019 In The Books!

On December 9, 2019

Hey Gamers! I hope you all had an amazing weekend – I know I did! Another Pax Unplugged has concluded and once again I had a ton of fun. From playing new games to meeting new people, and of course buying loads of games from my wishlist, it was a great time! This year was the first year I met with a few publishers, gave out some business cards, and now have a bunch of games on the soon-to-review list (so keep an eye out for those!) Check out below for some fun things I talked to people about and con photos! If you’d rather check out what I played all week and see those photos click here!

Bawk, squak, ba-bawk? Achem… Pardon me, friend. Sometimes, I speak so swiftly that my accent comes out! Anyway, I have some bad news. While the other chicken scientists and I were experimenting with time travel we sort of, maybe, accidentally of course, opened a time vortex that is slowly sucking everything into it… haha, oops.

It seems that we only have one available escape pod to make it out alive, and it will only fit one of us sooo… I guess it’s a race to the finish! May the best chicken scientist win! Which, of course is me.

In What I Played This Week

Hello Friends! I had a close friend visit for a few days this week, plus time off work for the holiday, so we got so many great games to the table! Did you play anything awesome this week? What was your favorite game from the last 7 days?

As you might know from my last post I’m anxiously awaiting PAXU later this week (hooray for games and more time off work! haha!) so I can’t wait to share my recap next Monday (or…maybe Tuesday if the con takes a lot out of me) with all the amazing and hopefully new games that I got to play!

Happy Gaming~

Surviving PAX Unplugged!

Hello Gamers! As you may or may not know, PAX Unplugged is coming up quick! For those of you going, I’M SUPER EXCITED TO SEE YOU ALL; SAY HI IF YOU SEE ME! (She said in a definitely not-crazy scream. Cause she’s not crazy, and definitely doesn’t awkwardly speak in the 3rd person before finally getting back to the point).

For all you first-timers, and maybe some of you bad-packers, I’ve made a quick survival checklist to help you make sure you’ve got what you need to be prepared, hopefully avoid con crud, and most of all, have a great time!

Let’s check it out! 😀

In What I Played This Week

Heyyyyy, Gamers!! It’s been another exciting week of playing games and taking names, yay! 😀 I was able to get a huge paper for school done early, which meant more time for games!!! I got a few favorites to the table, and a couple of newbies.

I’m also going to my parents’ house this week for Thanksgiving, so I’m hoping to play a few things I don’t normally play with my brothers. What are you hoping to play this week during the holiday?

Happy Gaming & Happy Thanksgiving, everyone~
