PAX originated from the Penny Arcade webcomic by artist Jerry Holkins and artist Mike Krahulik that poked fun at video games and its culture. It became very popular, and soon after, it spawned the PAX gaming conventions. The first PAX took place in Seattle in 2004 and has doubled in size year after year. PAX has expanded beyond Seattle with locations in Boston, San Antonio, Philadelphia, and Melbourne.
