Mike and AJ are back from PAX East 2011. We had a phenominal time playing games, watching the antics of the Penny Arcade crew, and getting to meet some really awesome people, many of whom appear in this very podcast. This was recorded part on the show floor and part in our car as we drove home, so please forgive some of the loud background noises. Wait, let me try that again. This show lets you experience what it was like to actually be at PAX and in the car with us! Yeah, that sounds better.
