The massive gaming convention, PAX Australia, is back for another year, taking over the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) for the period of Friday, October 11 to Sunday, October 13. Some of this year’s highlights involve the biggest tabletop area in the convention’s history as well as Cult of the Lamb weddings and the tease of Steam coming to the expo. Of course, always a highlight is the PAX Rising section with this year’s Indie Showcase winners looking like an incredible batch.
It’s with pleasure we also get to announce the return of Checkpoint Gaming to PAX Aus, as our team once again sets up a booth in the PAX Together Lounge and walks the expo halls, chatting with developers and playing games that we can share with our web and broadcast audiences.
Booth: Checkpoint Gaming on JOY
Time and place: All weekend long at the PAX Together Lounge (formerly the Diversity Lounge).
Description: The Checkpoint Gaming crew will be available for the full 3-day experience and can be found on level two of the expo hall, in the PAX Together Lounge. We’ll be there ready to share our experience and knowledge as radio presenters, writers, reviewers, and general games media people. As an LGBTQIA+ organisation, we know about the importance of diversity and inclusivity and are hoping to be able to bring that positive message to PAX Australia.
Stop by the Checkpoint Gaming booth if you want to say hello or if you’d like to find out more information about our operation, our website, and our broadcast partners JOY Media and the Community Radio Network. Stop by and chat with the team about how you can get involved in games writing/reviewing/broadcasting. Perhaps you’d like to join our team! Or, ask about the giveaway we’ll be running every day from the Checkpoint Gaming on JOY booth.
