PAX South 2019 is drawing nearer, and Sub Cultured will once again be there, keeping you up to date with the latest news from one of the south’s biggest gaming cons!

In 2004, the folks at Penny Arcade decided they wanted a show exclusively for gaming. Sure, comics, anime, and other nerd hobbies were cool, and those activities all had their own shows, so what about games? From that idea spawned a small 4,500 person event in Bellevue, Washington, focused on the culture and community that is gaming.

In lieue of a string of celebrity guests, the events at PAX conventions center around the gamers, with an exhibition hall full of publishers, developers, and table tops to be found at every turn of your head! Large booths include Sony, Bandai Namco, Discord, Mixer, Astro, and Tinybuild. While the large booths tend to dominate, the majority of the show floor is dedicated to representing smaller companies so be sure to support booths like Gunnar Optiks, Level 99 Games, and the PAX South Indie Showcase!

Beyond the huge expo hall full of games, tabletop, and console gaming rooms, there’s also a number of tournaments from console to PC, handhelds, and tabletop games. And of course there’s the PAX staples of the Omegathon, Penny Arcade Q&A, and Penny Arcade Make-A-Strip.

The panels this year also have a lot of really interesting topics. Notable events include, PAX 102: You’ve PAXed, But Maybe You Missed Some Things on Friday at 4PM in the Bobcat Theatre, Build Your Kingdom – Managing a Career in the Game Industry on Saturday at 2:30PM in the Cactus Theatre, and a quite a few panels to be found that put a larger focus on Dungeons and Dragons. You can print the full schedule of PAX South 2019’s programming here!

PAX South will be held Friday January 18th, 2019 – Sunday January 20th, 2019 and takes place at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, which is conveniently located in the heart of San Antonio, Texas! Tickets are still available online, so come soak up some of the panels and programming, and be sure to say hi! Follow us on Twitter @SubCultured for live updates from the show floor or keep an eye on our convention coverage! Anything in particular we didn’t mention?

On the evening of the 9th of November at the stroke of seven, the Directorate will be offering portkeys at the Raddison Hotel ball room that will transport you to this wondrous occasion. So bring your dancing shoes and your finest robes for the occasion. Beware there may be pit falls and muggles that could be around of course! Grab a portkey to find cauldron cakes, pumpkin pasties, and many other wonderful refreshments that the lovely kitchen elves have conjured up!

What would an 18+ convention be without trying to find love? Are you single? Do you like playing games? Are you willing to allow fate and some social sciences match you with another person that you might get along with? Then come to The Dating Game and have some fun while meeting great people and maybe just maybe finding the one for you!

Daku Con 2018 promises to bring a fun and relaxed convention environment to Colorado’s 18+ nerds. The Daku Con motto is by the con goer, for the con goer, and we look forward to seeing you at Daku Con 2018, November 9th – 11th!
