Episode 140 - Ben’s PAX West Adventures Day 3

If your question right now is, “Hey Ben, what did you see and do at PAX West on day 3?” then this show is for you! The short answer—he saw two of his favorite games of the entire four-day show and played a handful of others. Starting off the episode with the favorites, Ben describes his experiences playing the outrageously goofy meat-centric 3rd-person shooter SWAPMEAT and the skiing-themed rhythm game Fresh Tracks. Next, he moves on to the other games he played: Birdseed VR, Rebel Engine, Pax Autocratica, Arcane Eats, and Black Jacket. Finally, to put a bow on the show and phonetically into bonus, Ben reviews two additional titles: Chronicles of the Wolf and A Dream About Parking Lots.
