Sights Of PAX East 2012: Day One
I'm here in Boston for PAX East 2012, and the show floor is filled with all sorts of cosplaying and general nerdery. I've got my camera with me, and I plan on snagging a few shots as I scramble from meeting to meeting. Here's what I've seen on the show floor at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.
Day One:

Borderlands 2 has a huge presence at the 2K booth.

Harley Quinn and a creature of some description get down to some Dance Central 2. Hiding behind Harley is former GI editor Annette Gonzalez.

Rockstar may not always show up at E3, but they made sure Max Payne had a spot on the PAX East show floor.

Gamers revisit classic arcade games in a dedicated room on the second floor.
I don't know what this thing is, but I got away as quickly as possible.
There were plenty of opponents for fans of tabletop gaming.

Link ditches the Ocarina for an electric guitar and wails on Nintendo 64 melodies near the taxi line to close the show.
