EDITOR'S NOTEfrom Aaron Thomas

I predicted that we'd get some great PAX photos that would make me swear I'd make it to the show next year. Annnnd...here they are. I'm telling you, I'll totally be at PAX 2011 -- you can take that to the bank!

Photo diaries with snarky narration have become something of a tradition whenever I've gone someplace interesting, so this post should come as no surprise to anyone. My girlfriend didn't take as many pictures this year as she did at PAX 2009 or PAX East, but that was probably because we were having far too much fun. Regardless, I am a professional (not really, but I have years of experience with being snarky), so I will make do with what we have.

It begins!



"If you look to the left side of the plane, you will see Nature, where fresh air lives. Be sure to wave, because it's the last you'll see of either for the rest of the weekend." 


Chompasaurus laughs at your foolish human line!

 

 


Wait a minute...I get it now! The Fifth Element is Love! Also, I hope she wasn't cold.

 


Man...they're not fucking around with that Game of the Year Edition.

 


The cardboard cones were for protection...from anyone who might lend you money.

 


My traditional "Why are you taking a picture of me?" picture.

 


The Ewok answered the interviewer's questions, 
and then made an impassioned plea for a free Tibet.

 


"God damn it, Isaac. I just need to go ten feet that way. Stop showboating."

 


Oh, shit. It's the Ewok again. I think he was asking the Prince
if he'd like a copy of The Book of Mormon.

 


This was "The Line I Gave Up On" this year. I'm going to buy the game anyway, so I can wait.

 


It's Sackboy, and his best friend, 2. Honestly, he's too adorable to make fun of.
PAX 2010? Brought to you by the number 2.

 


See?

 


Do you see?!?!?! Place had more 2s than a beach resort for turds.

 


DeLorean, kickass chalk art, Alan Johnson. PAX truly has it all.

 


Kon the Lion wasn't in attendance this year, but check out the guy in the pants.
He's pretty funny, right?

 


"Hurry up! I have to make this roll before I go buy tickets for Pavement!"

 


Your objection to being awesome is overruled.

 


So, here's the new Main Theater. Looks nice. I've never been.

 


...and then, without warning, a Dead Rising LARP session broke out.

 


Move is cool. And I was really good at it. These two thoughts are unrelated.

 


Our combined swag. It's important you know that neither of those cones is mine.

I guess by the third time, the urge to take photos of everything has died down a bit. 

I will always regret not getting a picture of the Katamari Prince pretending to kick a guy in the groin during PAX 2009.

Those are some pretty rad photos.  Sometimes I regret not owning a camera.  I really wish that I could find the people taking pictures of me and a group of folks playing some game called Kung Fu (Maybe) outside on Sunday.

Scott -- We saw you playing that game, but we didn't get any pictures. Crap.

I literally had my camera out ready to take a picture of the Kung Fu game and then the Enforcer asked everyone to move.

I'd have taken one of those PvZ cones. What of it?

As long as you didn't also receive the "zombie makeover," I have no problem with that.

No DOUBLE RAINBOWS?  Bogus.

 

Also, multipass.

@James - That's a pretty great impression of him, James. He really does sound like that.

Looks like it was an awesome time. March can't get here soon enough.
