Since its inception in 2013, Pax Australia has become an established pillar of the Australian video game landscape. Every year, tens of thousands flock to Melbourne to celebrate all things gaming and gaming culture, from the latest blockbuster video games, to the offerings of the ever-growing Australian Indie scene, to cosplay, industry and enthusiast panels, boardgames and more.
But what does PAX mean to us, and why do we continue to attend every single year (when able to do so?). Joining Zach and Brendan to reminisce about our respective experiences at PAX Aus is friend of the show Loc, who, like Zach, has attended every PAX since 2013. The trio dived deep into every single PAX Australia, discussing the various highlights and memorable moments of a decade of PAX Australia.
