Podcast #54 - The PAX East 2013 Roadshow

[dsheinem]

Dave and John ventured to PAX East in March and decided it might be a good idea to record their thoughts on what they saw at the show while driving away from the convention. Hear Dave almost crash, hear John marvel at a few inches of snow, and hear two tired gamers struggle to remember what they did over the past few days. If that’s not your thing, skip ahead to the 62-minute mark for our first PAX East 2013 interview with Sean at YachtClubGames, who told us all about the upcoming Shovel Knight!

incidentally a "few inches of snow" is what I call my dong.

[BoneSnapDeez]

I will listen!

And Shovel Knight looked really cool.

[Ack]

Your dong has the ability to shut down the entire city of Atlanta, Ds. You should be proud.

Wait there was snow in Boston that weekend?

[Opa Opa]

This would have been better intro music.

Wait there was snow in Boston that weekend?

It didn't snow, but it snowed a day or 2 before we arrived, so there was about 5-6 inches on the ground.

You also have to put in perspective that I have lived in San Antonio and Houston and have experienced snow only a half a dozen times. And when it does snow, it melts off by the end of the day.

For the second day in a row I accidentally saved the podcast to the wrong place and wasn't able to listen to it. I'll get it on my mp3 player tonight, I promise!

A couple of years ago we had a straight up blizzard here that iced up the roads in town and left the place covered in snow for days. We both live in Texas, so I imagine I wouldn't have to tell you how crazy a sight that was.

there was about 5-6 inches on the ground.

There was like 1-2 inches in those spots that were still shady, and maybe a few piles of 3-4 inch stuff on the edges of roads/lots where plows had done their work. I do remember you being impressed by "big" piles of a foot or so in a few strip mall parking lots where they had pushed piles together towards the center.

I get the novelty of it for you, but it was all nonetheless very funny to me

I walked through it to that gas station and my foot sunk in much more than 1-2 inches. You are exaggerating in the opposite direction.

And the piles were larger than cars/trucks which is certainly more than a 'foot'. You were making a a bigger deal about my comment of 'that is a lot of snow' than I was about the snow.
My biggest interest though was how it would repeatedly get into the 40s during the day and the snow stuck around. If it gets 33-34 here it melts in a matter of hours.
