    Quick Look: Danimal Cannon on Chiptunes @ PAX East

     

    Yeah, yeah. We know PAX East 2012 seemed like forever ago. And yes, we’ve probably covered everything from live streams of PAX East to some pretty cool live shows. But we figured that we can give you a little nostalgic run for those who went and for those who haven’t… well, we wanted to give you a more personal glimpse of the event itself. This week’s Quick Look features the awesome Danimal Cannon sharing his seemingly infinite knowledge on chiptunes. Yeah, that’s right. An hour of one of the foremost artists within the chip music genre talking about chip music. Chippy, right? Although intended for a more general audience, we think that it’d be good for you to refresh or maybe even be (gasp) schooled on the subject. Check out the video above and let us know what you think.

  • Concert Line-Up for PAX East Finalized

    Concert Line-Up for PAX East Finalized


    If you don’t know what PAX East is, you’ve either been living under a rock or well… living under a rock. Taking place in Boston, Massachusetts on April 6th, 2012, PAX East is the ultimate three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers alike. In addition to nerdcore concerts, panel discussions, and an exhibitor hall filled with booths displaying the latest from top game publishers and developers, the best part of PAX East is partying with like-minded individuals who probably like gaming as much as the next guy.

    So, what are you waiting for? Although three-day passes have been sold out for awhile, one-day passes are still available for $35 dollars. The concert line-up for PAX East has recently been finalized (which you can view below) and it’s looking very sexy.
