Have fun over there, Blair Maybe some other time!

I HATE YOU BLAIR!!!

I have to go to work and write code etc... all day, not sit back and enjoy a booth. There better not be any booth babes there!!!

Have a good time.  Take lots of pics.  post them here.  (please)

Oh if only you knew...

Annatar, we'll be posting goodies - wish you could come!

PAX Attack! Run for your lives!
See you around if your in the area...signed goodies for the fastest scout.
We also have a special guest appearance

Posting goodies good Just don't let this be the first and last convention you guys go to Next year I'll make sure to be able to go even if I have to sacrifice 100 goats to a pagan god..

Good luck at the conference.  Will there be a Sins-2 or are you guys planning an expansion?  Anyway, I hope you guys will decide to allow Galaxy-Forge-made custom map auto-downloading for online Sins games.

Multi-choice expansion is next on the cards isn't it?

ah, so you are planning a little "blair-wish project"

and please, enlighten me, for I am an unfaithful ignorant: what is PAX?

PAX stands for Penny Arcade Expo, basically another big gaming convention in Seattle, Washington.

thx. funny name though.

Well, Penny Arcade is a popular web comic type site. Dunno where they got the name though

Special guest?

Kinda cool... though a bit scary.

Still, she's psitabolous!

Pic lifted from this Kotaku thread.

Psionics work through they eyes, I guess.

Scary.......

If the fabric just wasn't so shiny and the was darker it'd look more picturistic, and the smiling doesn't help me feel any better.

Hmm.. Anyone have the picture pof her and Darth Vader together?

Craig's Bottom 10 of PAX 2008

10. The cut on my thumb after we tossed free games into the air and the crowd went bezerk.
9. Watching a guy steal my signing pen during Morgan Webb's G4 interview.

Now that you've got Vader on your side, get him to strangle the stormtrooper.

Haha, go Blair Proving that regular humans are better than those trooper clones!

Sucks about some of the bottom 10. Someone stole your pen? What the hell?

"I got Ironclad's PEN!"

"How?"

"I stole it..."

By free games you mean Sins?

Blair, Josie and I were in a circle signing the last of the entrenchment posters. The crowd was getting pretty tight around us and when Stardock came with the free Sins Games it was complete chaos. Hands were grabbing everywhere. The games were 'tossed' into the crowd. People were tackling each other as the boxes bounced around over their heads like pinballs. There were nearly 10 hands on the box that landed beside me - even though one guy had it close to his chest. The top was all crushed in...haha.   I think next time we'll have a safe draw.

Hahaha, that's awesome. Most of us would've gotten a sick and twisted satisfaction from seeing everyone trying to grab those things, though.

But do something more fun next time. Like have people run a maze. Or a scavenger hunt Imagine a scavenger hunt in that convention center...

Ever seen that banned Xbox commercial? To bad you couldn't do that...

I haven't seen it, do tell

Here it is. Low quality, though.

Good thing it was banned.. no self respecting person would want to own an Xbox for fear of it being associated with that amount of stupidity

Thanks for the link, though
