This weeks Watch This Wednesday is a bit more meta than usual. See, a few months ago I got to speak with Major Nelson at PAX East. This wasn’t our first time meeting, I just happened to see him on the sidelines and figured I’d get a good picture. Apparently the internet wasn’t a fan. Check out the video below and you’ll see what I mean. If there’s two things I pride myself on, it’s being a goofball and not caring what others think: this...
The past weekend was exhausting, exhilarating, and dare I say, a blast. Just because you couldn’t be there doesnt mean you shouldn’t revel in the enjoyment with us. Check out all the best photos we captured
Last weekend at PAX East, I had the privilege of playing the upcoming Total War: Warhammer from the talents of both Creative Assembly and Games Workshop. Having never played a Warhammer game and barely having played a Total War, the game was pretty new to me. I was familiar with the massive scale of the Total War games, where players command thousands of units in a truly enormous battlefield, but I wasn’t quite familiar with Warhammer. I’ve seen a few friends play it...
The team at LevelSave had the opportunity to get our hands on Mirrors Edge Catalyst this weekend at PAX East in Boston. While PC Editor Philip Paverd and Photographer Gevin Sweeney enjoyed their time with the game, I was less than impressed. Everything simply just felt to slow for my taste. Fighting, running, jumping, everything seemed bogged down. Even walking around when I was speaking was slightly too slow to be enjoyable. The section of the game we were given on the...
I got the chance to speak with Marc Clement from Skreens at PAX East in Boston over the weekend. We discussed the Skreens streaming box, a cool little HDMI pass through box that connects to the internet to allow you to not just switch between HDMI devices but also do use multiple in the same screen. It’s an extremely interesting concept that definitely has use in the gaming space. Unfortunately, Screens’ biggest drawback is it’s price point. As we discussed...

We’ll be coming at you live all weekend via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Snapchat. Be sure to follow us on your favorite social network so you can get all the awesome news as we find it.
Smite is an excellent example of a hardcore MOBA with all the expected nuances and it builds upon it. Aside from some UI and interface adjustments that are being worked on, the transition from PC to Xbox one is seamless. The controls were tight and mapped exactly how one would want to play without a mouse and keyboard. Some of the item/shop clicks and hero upgrades were mapped to a combination of face buttons and triggers that felt natural, not forced. Overall, the...
PAX, and other gaming events, can be fun and exciting, but dangerous. Not only do you have to deal with the physical strain on your nerdy body, but there is a biological war going on every time you step into the convention center. I have been on both sides of several conventions, not all of them gaming, and have a few tips to keep your pain to a minimum and your enjoyment to a maximum. These are specifically aimed at PAX but several could be used for any type of...
