has risen since last year. Nintendo’s booth, as always, was tremendously popular. I didn’t dare get in line- I had interviews scheduled! [gallery ids="1305,1304"] The Goethe Institut, which is a German cultural institution which brings Germany’s culture to the world, had a presence at PAX East 2018 with the Transatlantic Gaming Summit, which showed off nine German made games including Lost Ember and Lonely Mountains: Downhill.

Aorus had quite the presence at PAX East and was handing out free sweatbands to those who knew the password. A knight at the Kingdom Come: Deliverance booth- hired cosplayers had quite a presence at this year’s show. The Doctor. Pokemon Sun/Moon cosplayers. A fantastic Horizon Zero Dawn cosplay by Carnivalization. A Life is Strange cosplay, complete with a working camera- she says that it’s tricky to find film for. I’ll be honest, this picture came out a little softer than I’d prefer (I learned my lesson about trying to push my lens too far) but I’m still pretty happy with it. This fantastic minimalist Cuphead cosplay by Leo!
