PAX East attendees can visit the Totino's Pizza Rolls Bucking Couch event April 22-24 in the PAX Arena at the Boston Convention Center (Booth #9255).

Totino's Pizza Rolls is also partnering with some of today's most popular and influential gamers and developers as part of its PAX East Bucking Couch event including Microsoft and SEGA. At the booth each day, gaming fans can stop by to ride the Bucking Couch and play several different video games including SEGA's classic Sonic The Hedgehog games in celebration of its 25th anniversary, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Monster World and more.

"PAX East is the perfect place to share our Bucking Couch with the passionate gaming community and give these gamers a unique challenge like they've never experienced before," said Brad Hiranaga, director of marketing for Totino's.
