After taking a week off from these gaming posts and still trying to get the smile off of my face, it's only natural that I still have PAX on the brain. Of all the fantastic experiences and stories that came from Penny Arcade Expo's debut in Boston, I'm still soaking in the information I received from the many panels I attended. My favorite panel was, "Traversing the Twitterverse, and Beyond!", which focused on how social media is used to listen and respond to communities. Points addressed in this panel didn't just apply to someone as prominent as Major Nelson, but to anyone with a Twitter account. What I found particularly interesting was how some of the concepts and theories discussed in the panel would be evident in the recent fiasco with Modern Warfare 2's Stimulus Package Map Pack. Please follow and retweet before reading the rest of the post.
