Gaming Conventions

[CrimsonKnight13]

What gaming conventions would anyone recommend for me to attend along the US East Coast? I've attended PAX East 2013 & wanted to go to PAX East 2014 but all passes are already sold out. Seems I'm still itching to hit up at least one good gaming convention this year.

Would this one be any good? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TooManyGames

It's not East Coast, but you could always try to buy in for Pax Prime later this year. I went to a Pax East before I went to Prime last year and even though its pretty expensive (traveling costs and all that), it's so worth it and was a much better experience than East imo.

I don't think I'll be able to afford that this year but I hope to hit up a real big gaming convention in the future.

E3 is my go-to.
It's where I get most of my casual shirts for a year.

Isn't E3 for the gaming industry & journalists only?

Pretty much. E3 is not open to the general public.

You could try one of the MLG events, I'm pretty sure they have a few in the Northeast region.
