Ask anyone that attended PAX this past year and they'll tell you it was one of the most amazing experiences of their lives. It still blows my mind that we had so many people from the community come from all across the world just to hang out with Dtoiders.
All throughout the show, Dan "Husky Hog" Lingen and I talked to all of the Dtoiders at the show and asked them what they thought of the Penny Arcade Expo and of Destructoid. There were many memorable moments, but the thing that stood out the most was a special "bonfire" incident.
Major thanks goes out to Bleep for all of the hard work he put into editing together the footage. Everyone owes him a drink at next year's PAX. Speaking of which, the PAX 2009 Forum thread is already kicking.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Man, I must have a time traveling browser or something. This is the second time I've gotten to an article before it goes live.
Anyway, great video. And I thought I was over my envy of all the community members who made it to PAX08.
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
