I'd like to preface this blog by stating just how freakin' cool everyone is that came to PAX '08 by way of Destructoid. It just further solidifies Destructoid as THE gaming blog with THE best community. I want to put my balls on all of you.
Picture time get! NAOW!
Serious Dyson digs the robot.
Amtrak knows the robot is everywhere (especially the bar).
Awesome Rio and Awesome Rio's Awesome Mom.
Wardrox reps 'dem PSTriples (it's written on his knuckles if the image is too small). Also, don't read his blog.
Wardrox's mohawk gets an upgrade.
Dan Paladin drinks white russians, just like The Dude.
And they will know us by the trail of empties.
Brad Bonbelmo
Asian Joe will sex you up.
Told you.
-D- points a lot, but in a very sexy way.
Spot the "Breeder".
RAPETRAP!
"Shoe on head" spotted at Nordstroms.
I can honestly say that I was having too much fun to snap more pictures. I've got so many great pictures in my head, the digital camera didn't seem so necessary.
Onto obligatory part of the blog where I toss shout-outs.
Staff:
Dyson - Here's to Disco Naps and growing old but never growing up. Marry me... to Amber. Always glad to be a Beatle, no matter the number.
Chad - Even more amazing in person. Chad: "I love droobies, he's my favorite." Me: "Did you guys just hear that!"
.Tiff - Great to see you again. Amber and I will have to make it out to Cali sometime to take you up on that drunken invitation.
Colette - Wonderful to see you, as always. You possess the looks of an angel with the mouth of a sailor. Every other word out of Amber's mouth when we were around you was "She's so fucking awesome!"
Topher - You were at PAX? Just kidding, hope you had a good time, and it was nice to see you again. I don't want to wait another year to just shake your hand, there better be some serious drinking involved next time.
Samit - looks like Tiger Woods.
Nick - his wife makes the best Powerpoint presentations
Hamza - has more body hair than Dyson and me combined. Also, sharks.
Husky - Amazing to finally meet you! Had a blast at the bar.
Dale - put on the best invisible performance I've ever seen at a concert.
Conrad - is better at drunken billiards than me, also cool and the only guy that can rock a beret that isn't in the armed forces.
Niero - Thanks again for creating an amazing place for all of us. Thanks for making me blush at the Dtoid Panel too.

Riser - has learned to control his drinking since Cincinnati.
FooLiz - coolest thing to come out of Australia since AC/DC (Amber wants to touch you more).
Asian Joe - knows how to use a "Do not disturb" hanger. I do not.
Butmac - can charm anyone with a smile, or clever video.
-D- - is the master of the point and wink.
Keener - has seen things I only wish I had. Also quite possibly the only straight man I'd ever consider being gay with.

Ceark - did something on Kung Fu Panda.
Tactix - respects the power of fedoras.
Knives - wears a shirt with his name on it.

Kriptinite - smokes menthols and knows how to bop.
Duffy & Liz - wishes Amber and I were there on Saturday night. Raincheck?

Superflossy - is singlehandedly keeping me subscribed to Entertainment Weekly.
Dexter - is like 5 feet of pure muscle and win.
Lost Criton - looks like Sideshow Bob and John Goodman had a baby. Will also wear short shorts for Dtoid. The only person with less shame than me. Seriously cool.
Necros - is flame retardant.
Itemforty - needs to go golfing with me.
Blehman - also has epic beard.
Hoygeit - Hard to pronounce name, easy to be awesome.
Suff0cat - smart enough to save the sharpie for his face, not his balls.
To anyone I may have, and likely did, forget - thanks for making it out to add to all the fun that everyone had. Here's to attending PAX '09... I can has Destruct-o-con plz?
It was good seeing you again! :)
Hi droobies. I <3 you too.

There, that's better.
<3's for you too Blehman!
Droobies be rollin' with the D-toid homies. It was a pleasure to meet you and your wonderful wife.
Your balls were shown in front of one of the largest panels at PAX. That's definitely in the top ten of PAX happenings this year.
Great to meet you bro. Any time you are in Texas feel free to have me ask you "What the fuck are you doing down here?".... or you can make sweet sweet love to me.
I just may let you put your balls on me. You are that cool. XD! Maybe some of their epic fame will rub off lmao
I miss your balls Droobies. Also your cool girlfriend.
dude, scroll that last picture up and down really fast. fucks with your mind. holy shit.
I love you Drew and Amber too
I'm sorry, I meant girlfriend not wife.
Not yet, power-glove, but likely soon enough. I need to edit more people in. I keep forgetting people.
Thanks again for making another great PAX!
your balls are awesome.
Seeing your balls projected 5 ft wide on the screen was the most surreal moment at PAX. Good seeing you guys again!
I point and wink with other things too....
uhhhhhhhh....
When I met you and Amber, Droobies, I felt like we were instant friends. Like those cup of noodles that you add hot water to but instead of hot water it was hot guy....
I've ruined this comment so I'll just say I love you guys.
-D-, we love you too. Amber just reminded me that she kicked your ass at Jager Bombs. It's amazing what I forget when I'm smashed for four nights in a row.
droobies, you and amber need to come visit me in NYC NOW!!! we will drink all the raspberry hefeweizen at barcade!
Look, I can hold alcohol in my body. Just not in my brain. (read: I didn't throw up at all this weekend but did get drunk enough to kiss girls).
Your balls are lengendary!
It was great seeing you and Amber again, I fucking love you guys <3 <3 <3 <3
Nintendoll, if Amber wasn't on your list of girls kissed, I'm very upset, and I'm sure she's very disappointed.
Superflossy, I'll see what I can do for next year.
Droobies, it was once again awesome to see you and Amber at PAX, and hopefully, I'll be seeing you guys there next year as well!
Also, your balls are now Internet famous forever. Congratulations on that. :)
<333 I wish I could of been there to see the balls projected on a massive screen.
Droobs, I'll take her on in a rematch. We only did it once and that was before Hamza taught me how to relax my throat.
seriously must go to PAX next year
Drewwwwwww! Even though we didn't get to spend as much time together as I hoped, it was amazing seeing you and Amber again. You're officially now my adopted siblings and I'm going to have to come abduct you and keep you in my basement. :D
Hey man. Five feet four inches! Give me some credit here!
Miss you, wish we could hang out again RIGHT NOW.
Droobies you and I are so lucky to have such great friends. All these people are so amazing. You enjoyed my girl experiences a little too much I think.....you just want more. Thank you for always checking to see that I was at your side when we were in Seattle, it meant a lot. I had so much fun with you, and everyone from the Detoid community. What is funny is that we did not play a single game while we were there. We came all that way for all these awesome people. It was completely worth every dime we spent.
omg those pics are so amazing! I <3 you and Amber, you guys are so sweet and cute together! yes i'm sad about sat nite too...raincheck for sure :)
<333
if you are headed to NY keep me in the loop too cause i can swing up there without much trouble and join in the festivities (whether you like it or not).
awesome seeing the both of you again. really it only took seconds to slip back into feeling like we were old friends. hangouts sooner rather than later pls.
Was great meeting you and Amber! I can has Destructi-con PLZ??
It was amazing getting to meet you and everyone else from Dtoid irl. Can't wait for PAX09!
I love you so much ... even though your balls scare me.
(And by "scare me" I mean "feel good on my face.") <3
Oh, also ... I LOVE AMTRAK! :)
Droobies! You and Amber were so amazing, you should of hung out with us in our room! We were in the same hotel!
Macca, we totally would have hung out had we not drank so damn much that we passed out every night around 2-3AM.
Weak excuse Droobies. Necros drunk 3 WHOLE beers, and a WHOLE tequila shot and still stayed up till 3am. Shows how tough he is right?
But totally, next time I'll spend more time talking to you man.
Dan drinks White Russians? More evidence that he and I are twins. And by more evidence, I mean the only evidence.
Your balls are now internet famous! Good to meet you in person, but I didn't even know you were in our hotel! You should have come down and hung out/light me on fire.
why couldnt I go :( NEXT YEAR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL KILL CHILDREN IF I HAVE TO!
Drooooooooooooooooobies
Honestly it was totally unexpected, but really amazing and lucky, to have dinner with you, I'm really glad we had that chance to talk.
Also your balls are the stuff of legends now
Holy shit, I totally forgot about the blue hair thing. I hope someone has the pics of me with the pink drink and shirt tuck. I want those, esp one with Colette!
<3
dammit I wish you guys didn't you know what nevermind. :( I miss you.
I love you Droobies. And your balls.
I missss Droobies
<3
I miss your balls...
Dude, it was awesome hanging out with you and Amber again -- you guys were some of the coolest people I met in Cincinnati. Hopefully, you can come out to NYC sometime soon!
Also, seeing your balls on that massive projection screen was a highlight of my weekend.
