Comments on Penny Arcade Expo: Friday Coverage

oh shit i need to see ALLLLLL these photos please!!! more PAX coverage! awesome!

Penny Arcade FTW!

How does that guy use the controller, when one of his hands is inside it? I'm calling that kettle black.

Odd...no wedding band on his left hand?...
Ladies?

FTW. lol. omg. This is my second favorite event of the year so far... second only to the Cheese Festival.

"as are the Lord of the Rings Online booth and the World of Warcraft Card Game playing tables—yes, you can now take your relationship-ruining addiction offline."

...we have to talk.

I LIEV IN COLUMBUS OH LOL WUT

I was wondering what was going on there. I was watching people walk down Pike while I was heading up the road on the bus. I figured it had to be some kind of gaming convention, but then I couldn't figure out what all the guitar shirts were about. (Never seen Guitar Hero, only heard about it. I do not game.) Looked like a bunch of 17-26 yr old men in oversized t-shirts and ill-fitting pants with the occasional woman or 45+ yr old "comic book guy" man in the mix. It made for some pretty awesome people watching as the bus crawled up the hill.

It wasn't quite as good as the day I decided to walk home through Freeway Park during the Manga/Anime convention as they were taking professional pictures of costumes in the park. That was an incredible thrill.

Just got back. They close the expo center early. Tomorrow's schedule is just as gay (and how!). It closes at 6:00PM.

FYI to all: They have Gears of War on PC. It is fucking amazing.

Oh, and Haze.

Table tops are fun to watch with Lay's and Coke. PAX is missing out by not serving me alcohol.

There aren't many hot men there.

PS3, of course, is sucking balls.

Word.

Goodness. Gabe, Tycho, and Wil... all in one place.

I just got back. It was a little hassle finding a place to sneak off downtown to smoke a bowl, but otherwise the people were mostly laid back.

We played a game where you scored points for pointing out each of the following:

1: A man in a kilt.

2: A man who is "So fucking bald that he should cut off his poor excuse for a ponytail"

3: Someone in birkinstocks or sandals with socks.

I was smoked by my buddy with a final first day score of 9 to 6.

Tomorrow we are going to drink gin and send pictures of wieners to people over pictochat.

@9: I know! Not only on PC, but with NEW MAPS! I wasted so much time there.

@11: Dude, you say 'wieners over pictochat' like it hasn't been done yet.

I have slept about four hours and am ready to go back I think.

Hey, what's wrong with talking about my 12th level mage??

@ 12 nothing wrong with sticking to what you know works!

Yesterday The Stranger\'s Dan Savage wrote \"I hate ...cripples on buses.\" Dan\'s sloggites thought it was amusing. More thoughtful people would think geeeez, What an asshole!
And I\'d post a link here to Dan\'s \"Say Yes To War\" article Oct. 2002 for you folks to read but the Stranger web master has blocked it. Hmmmmmmm why don\'t they want you to see it?

You forgot to mention that all the "antisocial" people in the "lab" (pc free play area) were, you know, playing games *with other people*.
