AWKWARD ZOMBIE

It was pretty cool.

We yelled that a lot. Then sat down to play Magic: the Gathering.

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff what new shit came out for that

I find that to be way cuter than I should.

What?

I thought you meant "peace". Like, you know, "pax", it's latin for "peace".
So I didn't get it.
What was it about ? I mean... tell me more than "it was about penny arcade".

its a convention where alot of ppl gather to look at nerdy new shit like nividia graphics cards and magic the gathering and shit like that

My first thought was PAX Tampons.

did you see anamanaguchi?

It's a convention where a bunch of game companies show off new things. Computer games, video games, board games, card games, everything.

This was the first one on the east coast and my first convention ever. There was a ton of shit. Two floors of freeplay where you could sign up and play games, console or PC. There was even an entire room devoted to old consoles, frmo Atari to Dreamcast. And another room full of old arcade games. Downstairs held tabletop D&D as well as a multitude of board games. My friends and I checked out D&D on the Microsoft Surface which is basically a tablet computer that interacts with the game pieces.

The hallway was dubbed "the handheld lounge" which was full of bean bag chairs. People played Rock Band on one end of the hallway.

So, apart from all that side stuff, the main feature was the expo hall, where all the companies were. A lot of video games. Crackdown 2, All Points Bulletin, Starcraft II, Just Cause 2. Plus they had the nVidia 3D which is insane. I watched some guy play Just Cause 2 in 3D and got very dizzy.

We also met up with the Rooster Teeth bros and talked with them. Later on, we were waiting in line for their panel and two of them showed up early and signed our stuff. They showed exclusive Red vs. Blue footage and some other things. The animator from Haloid is working with Rooster Teeth now, so they can animate the bodies in Halo now, which makes it amazing.

There were fucking lines everywhere. We hardly got to play anything and we missed the keynote speaker and welcoming with Will Wheaton. We only went to the Rooster Teeth and Penny Arcade panel and we couldn't get into the signing, since it was too full. I really wanted Mike Krahulik to draw a dick in my PAX booklet.

We didn't get into any concerts because they were all full.

Uh.

Robert Khoo, who works with Mike and Jerry from PA, glared as us. We walked by Scott Kurtz from PVPOnline, but we didn't see Kris Straub.

We watched a dude play Heavy Rain for 20 minutes.


Everybody kept yelling "JASON." If you yelled it out once, people around you would yell it.

Some guy dressed up as a Jason and walked around with a red balloon. He'd walk up to people who were yelling his name and yell "Dad where are you."

Great.

That is the best thing ever.
