Check out the podcast below, in which we reveal <strong>our most favoritist game of PAX East 2012 ever!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PAX is a bit tough for me. I hate travel. To put it in perspective: I hate travel more than I hate going to the dentist.  If you gave me a choice of going to the dentist to have some work done, or going on a five-day trip to a convention, I would pick the dentist. When I&#8217;m traveling I feel stressed, tired, and out of sorts. My routine is broken and I become neurotic. I&#8217;m also terrified of making some public gaffe. (Seriously. It&#8217;s like a phobia. Is there a name for being semi-famous and being afraid you&#8217;ll say something absurd that will make you look like a fool?) <\/p>\n<p>However&#8230; as much as I hate travel, this is the only way I can connect with people in this way. There&#8217;s no place else that I could go to meet you folks, or developers, or my friends at the Escapist. So, I go. I put up with the travel, then I crawl home and freak out for a few days. (I slept 12 hours a day for the first four days after we got back.) <\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;m saying is, it&#8217;s murder to attend this thing, but worth it. <\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll have one more PAX Post at some point to tie up all the loose ends, and then we&#8217;ll be done with PAX for this year. <em>Next week: Spoiler Warning spoils Alan Wake!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Before I go, here&#8217;s another picture of Josh and I.  He looks a little grouchy here, but it was the last day and we were both tired. <\/p>\n<p><table   class=\"\" cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='0' align='center'><tr><td><img src='https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/images\/pax2012_josh5.jpg' class='insetimage'   alt='pax2012_josh5.jpg' title='pax2012_josh5.jpg'\/><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here we wrap up our trip to PAX East.
