With so many Dtoid members posting amazing blogs about the wonderful experiences that they had, I know that I am not alone when I say that it was the best event that I have had the privilege of attending. When I arrived on Wednesday and found CTZ and Qais in SEATAC airport, I knew that I was in for something amazing.
From the time that I had met up with Hollie, Tazar, Wardrox, and AZN Joe, to my final farewell at The Cheesecake Factory, it was just one awesome moment after the next. I am having a great deal of trouble trying to express how much I enjoyed spending time with each and everyone of you.
To those of you that were not able to attend this event, please make an effort to do so next year. The amount of fun that you will have during the weekend will never be surpassed, unless you plan on attend another PAX event.
I have so many interesting tales to tell from the show floor when Mike and Jerry from Penny Arcade and Major Nelson did color commentary over my Gears of War 2 gameplay session to Morgan Webb kicking me out of my Need for Speed: Undercover session. My time on the show floor was interesting to say the least.
But the most fun that I had that weekend was spending time with you guys. Ever since I joined Destructoid, which was one year ago on Sunday, I have had some great moments like meeting Samit at D-Life, Atheistium's NY Narp, the NY Comic Con dinner, attending Video Games Live and taking part in the recent NY Narp. But my trip to Pax, has been one of the greatest. From Aerox to Zero Altma, I was able to meet good-hearted and fun people from all across globe.
I want to thank you, Mr. Gonzalez for giving me the opportunity to meet all of these people. I would, also, like to CTZ for choosing me to be one of the people responsible for D-Toid New York, it has been a blast planning some of the great events. If anyone is head into the Tri-State Area anytime soon, contact me and we will get something going.
I miss everyone you guys so much and I can't to meet with some you again. Also, if anyone needs a room for next year's PAX, I am more then willing to accommodate. Just ask Husky and Scotty G.
Also, vote for LostCrichton's Tick Costume in Joystiq's Best Cosplay of PAX 2008 poll.

Hey, a picture of me beating Dyson at Tetris!
It was good seeing you, man. We'll have to play some Rock Band 2 online. Start some kind of Dtoid band ...
Next year I shall introduce myself proper to you Power-Glove and have a shot of Tequila to boot.
Next year, I'm getting you pregnant. It was so awesome meeting you :)
It was awesome meeting you again, power-glove! Here's hoping I'll get to meet you again soon!
Nick did, 4 to 1.
It was great to meet you man, and thank you so much for you and Superflossy helping me to play Rock Band 2! We need to play online sometime, since I bet there aren't many people you can use almost all your downloaded songs with. :)
Andyyyy it was great meeting you dude. Can't wait for this Dtoid NYC.
It's true. He is very accommodating. Will even let you sleep peacefully without any late night surprise buttsex.
Mind you if you want late night surprise buttsex you might want to look elsewhere.
Very awesome meeting you man. :)
Remember that bullshit trek we made to Pink Godzilla in the heat at noon on Tuesday?
That was great.
<3 you, miss you.
Sounded amazing, wish I coulda made it
You are a cool guy. The coolest even.
I'll be there next year, IN SPADES.
Holy shit! I didn't even know that Joystiq took my fucking picture at PAX. Thanks power! Til next year.
Awesome meeting you man! I bow my fedora to your presence <3 <3
Hope to see you soon man and if thats not possible, im raiding your castle!
I'm so glad you came, dude. It's been awesome attending all these NY events, and I was bummed when you couldn't make it out to Cincinnati for the NARP at the end of May. But now you've met almost as many Dtoiders as I have! Hope to see you again at another Dtoid New York event sometime soon.
I hate you all for having such a good time. I'm glad I'm going next year.
Power Glove's a pretty cool guy. He reports on PAX and ain't afraid of nothing.
But seriously, I envy you and everyone else that went to PAX. Hopefully I'll be going next year.
Dammit, I'll walk to PAX next year if I have to. That just means I'll have to get a 2 month head start considering I live across the nation.
It was great meeting you, man! <3
