Manage episode 432103309 series 3479175
Gaming conventions like PAX, TooManyGames, and MAGFest have become bigger and bigger over the years. Toss in gaming-adjacent conventions like Momocon and Comic-Con, and sprinkle in ones run by the companies themselves like Blizzcon...there are so many. Each have their own strengths and weaknesses, but this week we wanted to talk about why we actually go to them.
