Summary
'In 2004, the folks at Penny Arcade decided they wanted a show exclusively for gaming. Sure, comics, anime, and other nerd hobbies were cool, and those activities all had their own shows… so what about games? From that idea spawned a small 4,500 person event in Bellevue, Washington, focused on the culture and community that is gaming.
Since then, the show hasn’t looked back. Doubling in size each year until venue capacities were reached, in 2010 the show expanded into Boston for PAX East, drawing tens of thousands of attendees in the inaugural year. The shows in Seattle and Boston represent the two largest gaming events in North America!'
PAX East was the time of the year when tens if not hundreds of YouTubers would meet in large rooms full of fans. That was the dream, to get to be Mark or Jack. Perhaps even Felix? For the DerpCrew, however, it was sometimes just an excuse to make a gross amount of Vlogs and collaboration videos. Still, they'd meet plenty of fans along the way. But tensions were slowly rising, and all it took was a mask, a carton of soy milk, and at least four bottles of alcohol to make everything start moving. And, once things start, it is sometimes hard to stop.Series
