O hai guys!
It's come to my attention my pax 08 wrap-up is late, so late that CTZ posted a wrap-up wrap-up without me. My entire pax trip could have ended after I got an amazing cheer at the Destructoid panel. Seriously I was just trying to get the panel's attention really... then everybody started screaming "HUSKY!!!" and my ego immediately became bigger than the entire show floor. Honestly meeting all of you in that short fifteen minutes was too much for this hog to bear, I was ready to pack it up and leave after that...
...I was just too drunk :D
Which brings me to a second point - my original fear of going to PAX was that of actually "swinging the bat" if you will. I was afraid I'd end up getting super drunk and becoming "that guy" - so if I ever did become "that guy" - I'm sorry, I'm really not that mean I'm just incredibly sarcastic.
Regardless I wanted to send a shoutout to all of you, because you're just so fucking epic. If I forgot anybody I'm really sorry! It's not that I don't love you! It's just that I met so many amazing people it's insane.
In alphabetical order O.o - also if I left you a cliche comment my bad, there's a lot of you!

Niero I'm going to send that email, probably tomorrow, so that will have all of my heart-felt feelings and naked pictures in it, but for now I leave it as what I said in the community, whom I love very much, but I don't love them nearly as much as I love you! You're fucking amazing and I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for you. Seriously dude, you've changed my life, and you FUCKING RULE!!!

But anyway, I'm so glad you made it to PAX, man. I was sad that we couldn't meet up when I went to SF at the end of May, so it was unbelievably awesome to see you show up at the Dtoid panel. Hope to see you again soon!

yeah, im down for playing and making out, so whatever the evening leads to im cool with.
also, we need to drink more often too (fuck you for living in CA)... it leads to great arguments where we talk over each other and try not to be the first to laugh and continue to drink our subjectively shitty beers (or captains and cokes).
awesome to meet you finally, since we had talked off an on for a while. hopefully there will be hangouts before the next pax, ive been bouncing ideas off people in CA since i should have time/money to travel this year. and if youre ever in NYish area there are a bunch of us up here and a barcade.
