PAX Prime 2012: Hands on Borderlands 2 – We WUB WUB It!

PAX PRIME 2012: The Nerd Appropriate Invasion!

Here we go again.  PAX: Prime is here and this we brought backup!  Scott, Hilary and myself will all be attending this year’s PAX: Prime, also known as the most gamer-friendly convention in all the land.  While we’ve covered a ton of conventions this year (including SDCC, PAX: East, and SWCVI) there is something extra special about PAX: Prime in Seattle.  As I stated last year, PAX is a magical place sprinkled with innovation, loud music, and rabid gamers.  Barring a severe case of PAX-POX, it’s close to impossible to not have a great time.

An alloy is described as “A metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, esp. to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion.” This weekend, by promoting two or more of your characters in ME3MP you can bolster the war effort and help save the whole freakin’ universe! On top of all that universe saving mumbo-jumbo, you’ll also receive a commendation pack filled with goodies as well as a victory pack if 50,000 characters total are promoted. As always, if they keep making it and we’ll keep playing it. We have a crush on ME3MP.
