Hello, friends.  Have a seat.  Pour yourself a drink if you'd like one.  This episode of the Power Button podcast is not only full of information about upcoming games such as Aliens: Colonial Marines, Sleeping Dogs, Assassin's Creed III, Borderlands 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, and other games that were on display at PAX East recently, but it's also extra mellow.  Joey Davidson takes Brad Hilderbrand and I through his trip to the big Boston gaming convention put on by the team at Penny Arcade and answers our questions about what he saw and played.  Then, towards the end of our time together for this week, we divert into some insider industry shop talk when it comes to attending shows like PAX and E3.  The whole shebang is bookended with the smooth sounds of gaming jazz, so make yourself comfortable and prepare for just under an hour or discussion, humor, and curiosity.  There's plenty of time before the mosquitoes come out and we have go inside.  Download this week's episode directly from PTB, listen with the player below, or subscribe via iTunes, and be sure to catch up on past episodes if you're joining us late.
