Ditto makes it to Stone Town, immediately gets in a fight…

Ditto makes it to Stone Town as an envoy for the Oliphant Queen – but the guard can’t take him to the queen until he fights off some bad guys. I have to say, this is a terrible plan – the guard is afraid to leave his post because of the bad guys are all around, but if he can’t see them then he can leave his post? What if they are hiding, or they just left to get ice cream and they come back while he’s gone? It really is a terrible plan…

Ditto does go through his deck and discusses the best way to fight fire minions, since the Rain of Fire spell does minimal damage on the first hit, which is where the prism conversion kicks in. In a case like this, even though it might take longer to get two Efreet spells out, the damage is much higher due to the prism converting all of the damage to ice.

Ditto once again talks with Steve Spohn of Able Gamers at PAX East

Last year, while exploring all the many things PAX East had to offer, Ditto came across the AbleGamers booth and was able to talk to Steve Spohn, the Editor-In-Chief of the AbleGamers Foundation, about the amazing work that AbleGamers does, helping disabled kids and veterans to get back into accessible gaming. It was the interview that meant the most to me last year, and so Steve was the first person I checked with once I had my PAX East tickets for this years’ show. AbleGamers was once again hanging out at PAX East (this time with a bunch of Pachinko machines!!) telling people all about the organization and showing off accessible gaming hardware, like an Asteroids game you can play just with your eyes!

Ditto talks to Tony Goodwin of Twisted Pixel about LocoCycle and gets a game demo!

Last year at PAX East 2012, Ditto talked to a great indy company called Twisted Pixel, and their game ‘The Maw’ ended up being Dittos’ favorite new game from the show.  This year Twisted Pixel were back, bigger and badder than ever, with an all new game coming soon, called ‘LocoCycle’. It’s a crazy fusion of driving game and fighting game, where you play I.R.I.S the AI Motorcycle AND Pablo the mechanic, who is unwittingly (And Hilariously) dragged along for the ride as I.R.I.S goes haywire.
