RPS@PAX 2022: Our favourite booths from the show (and bonus carpet rankings)No really, the carpet this year was outstanding
No really, the carpet this year was outstanding
PAX East 2022may be over, but we’ve still got plenty of things to talk about from our time in Boston. We have a bunch of videos in the pipeline that I can’t wait to share with you (including a fun piece exploring PAX staple collectible Pinny Arcade) but for now I think it’s about time we spoke about one of the best bits of in-person shows: the booths.
Now, we already highlighted most of the booths at PAX East in ourshow floor tourthat we published during the event itself, but we wanted to focus on some of our favourites in a little more detail. Come and see them (and their carpets) in all their glory below. I’m not kidding about the carpets. They wereastounding.
Next, I cast my focus onto the Intel and Devolver Digital booths. The Intel section was dense with custom PC builds, interesting artwork and a robot with a worryingly sexy voice. The Devolver booth on the other hand was a touch smaller, but was packed full of custom arcade machines for their upcoming projects. TheTerra Nilcabinet, for example, was coated in a thick layer of moss and came complete with a dinky little wind turbine perched on its top. Lovely.
Finally, I enthuse about the TinyBuild booth, our favourite from the entire show. Themed after a carnival, the tinyBuild booth was divided up into individual sections dedicated to a specific game. ThePotion Craftarea was a particular highlight, featuring a mysterious tent filled with magical paraphernalia.
