I was extremely excited to be attending my first ever PAX this year. Having my forum mods with me was like icing on an already delicious cake, but sadly it was not all sunshine and sausages in the land of PAX because my dear friend and Forum co-admin, Mxyzptlk could not attend. I realized that this was the perfect opportunity to try out the avatar adoption program I've heard so much about. After a quick trip to the print shop Mxy and I were on our way.

Turns out it was a very good thing that I brought Mxy along, because my lack of picture posting meant that nobody knew who the heck I was. Mxy on the other hand, knew everyone and was welcomed wherever we went. Here's a few pictures of his amazing adventures;


Hanging out with Halo


Fighting inflatable monsters


Confusing cosplay chicks


Checking out Guild Wars 2


Going around being a Nazgul

That was all pretty fun, but Avatar Mxy wanted to spend some time with his community peeps, so we set out to find some. You'd be amazed how quickly people flock to you when you start waving around a pic of a dude in a bowler hat.

Oh hey, it's Ali D and Changston! Hai guys!


Apparently, we hadn't fed Ali yet.


After wresting Avatar Mxy away, I set out to hobnob with some local celebrities. Unfortunately, it seems they hadn't fed Jim Sterling yet either.

Quick side note, Jim did this with no explanation or introduction whatsoever. Thanks Jim!


Having learned from my mistake, Avatar Mxy and I went to grab some lunch so that people would stop trying to eat him. Good thing too, as we soon encountered a shark.


Of course it wouldn't be a proper Destructoid PAX unless we got to meet Mr. D himself.


And we had to put in some face time with our boss.


Prior to leaving Mxy had requested some redhead action, luckily our very own Hollie Bennett fit the bill nicely and can even say "Mxyzptlk" in a way that sounds more sultry than nerdy.


Last I heard Avatar Mxy had met up with some booth babes at the bar. He was last seen rolling out of Seattle in a pimped out caddy and I haven't heard from him since. Wherever he is now I'm sure he's keeping it classy.

Superb.
Beautiful.
Amazing.
Fan-fucking-tastic.
Glorious.
I love Mxy. Too bad he wasn't there. Me either for that matter.
OMG... you had a cut out of Mxy... that is AWESOME!!!

It was wonderful to meet you (finally!) and while it's a shame Mxy couldn't be there... his avatar had a wonderful time!
Awesome :D
I need a cigar.
Lol brilliant
I like this.
Great stuff, Zodiac!
@ZP, it was all Mxy, I'm just glad he let me roll with him for a bit.
Damn it you rule so hard Zodiac. Thanks a million!
I gotta wonder how many people A) knew who Ken Foree was B) if they did, wondered why they were holding a picture of Ken Foree.

This is nice though, good to see Ken...err Mxyzptlk made PAX!
Don't sell yourself short, Zodiac. Mxy may have been his suave self, but the photos clearly show that without you there as his chaperone he'd have been eaten by now. You're a saint.
Hilarious.
Now when I eventually do make it to PAX, I'm going to have to constantly flee people trying to take bites out of my head. MAGfest will be interesting this year...
Wait, you actually ARE a female? Man, I'm so confused. I originally thought you were, then someone said you weren't, and now I'm JUST SO CONFLICTED. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING ABOUT MY LIFE.

Or, alternatively, I just went "Huh," shrugged, and went off to eat a Pop Tart.

Anyway, <3 to both you and Mxy.
<3. Got to meet you finally at the 11th hour - YESSSSS! Nice work on your adoption; cannibalism was running rampant!
I'm hungry.
ah I HAVE TO GO!!!!!! GREAT PICTURES!!!
Awesome!

Mxy, if you ever DO go to PAX you're just going to end up swamped with "OMG MXY'S NOT BLACK?" lol
@Clown Baby: wait....WHAT!!!!
forever alone
Next time it will be me and mxy rolling up together. There will be so much forum power up in that shit the world will explode.
TOO MUCH AWESOME
In that first picture, I could only imagine Mxy's bowler hat as the top of a predatory shark's fin, which gives me a great opening to mention that I'd love to be your chum.
awesome indeed.
@Techno I have a theory that if you and Mxy would have come and we'd have actually had the full power of team forums united in one place the convention center would have collapsed in on itself and created a black hole of pure awesome.

Must test this theory someday...
@Bey: Whoa, I read that last word without the H. Umm.. yeah..

@Zodiac: This was was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
These pictures are great. I'm pretty sure I saw you near the Halo Reach statues when you were taking the pics so now that cut-out makes more sense.
I love how he's cut out in such a way that it looks like he's shooped into every picture. ^_^
