PAX East: A smattering of photos photo

As some of you may have heard, the camera with almost all of the pictures from the weekend was stolen on Saturday night, complete with the memory card holding the secrets of all the astonishing times we had at PAX East. I'm taking measures to attempt to retrieve the lost equipment, but I'm not too hopeful. That said, take a look at the handful of pictures below that made it to my laptop before the "alleged incident," from Thursday night and Friday morning. I sincerely apologize to everyone that was in pictures that didn't get pulled down, but we'll always have the memories.

Special thanks to The Drunken Moogle for their delicious Destructoid drink recipe that many of us enjoyed!

I'm sorry, I didn't get past the panties. Were there more pics?

Probably should have saved that one for last...

I can't completely tell what's going on in that Bioshock Infinite picture, but it's making me moist regardless.

Here's another angle of that Bioshock one, albeit unfortunately blurry.

I'm glad at least some of these pictures made it up, but it's still bullshit someone stole your camera. The same thing happened at Saturday night at Elephant and Castle, so all the pictures and video from that night are gone too.

It's basically the giant hand breaking through the wall. It was a great photo op, as there was a line to walk in and get your picture taken being grabbed.

@Kintarotpc and Josh

Thanks! I saw the hand but I couldn't tell what was curving at the top. Looks aces.

Is there a story being the girl who's holding up the panties in the first pic? I saw her in a second photo, but I figured that she was just a random attendee. Is there a reason that she's holding up a pair of panties? Did Dtoid give them to her or something?

They're panties for Disgaea, which Destructoid gave her. The girl in question is our very own Ruckus, who competed in the Omegathon (and kicked insane amounts of ass at Beautiful Katamari in the first round, might I add).

Ah, I don't think I've ever seen her. Also, I've never played a Disgaea game, so I wasn't sure if the panties were gaming-related or just completely random. Thanks for explaining.

There are no pictures of DOMO in this set of photos . . . this is clearly UNACCEPTABLE! =P

This is why we don't let you out of the forums, way to get your camera stolen and ruin PAX!

In seriousness that sucks big time, but you'll maybe it's better if some of your secret PAX fantasy pics aren't seen by the general public. Also, awww Ali D.

Man, looking at these pics makes me want to go back already. After reading the general consensus of last year's PAX, (meh-meh), I was borderline optimistic about going, and decided,what the hell, and go with a friend.

It was incredible. Yes, there were long lines. Yes, the shuttles ran at odd times. Yes, nerds don't watch where they are going. Or brush their teeth. Or bathe. But goddman, what a great time. The expo floor was amazing. The panels were funny. People in general were very laid back and easy to talk to. I have never shared tension so much for someone playing Jenga live in front of 3,100 spectators. And the coup de grace, seeing the VGO play live on Saturday evening was so amazing. I videotaped most of it to show friends who thought "it would be lame" ... they are now on board for next year.

If you have the means, GO NEXT YEAR!! You will not be disappointed.

cameras stolen? how does this even happen? do you guys hire temp staff for these events that arnt dtoid employees?

or do you guys just put these things down and forget about them or something? if i have expensive devices with important stuff on them i would make sure they are with me the entire time. or locked up in something. i think dtoid needs a security team. id be willing to apply for that position. as well as tech assistant since everyone at dtoid seems to have issues with cameras ,video or otherwise.

@CyricZ Send me any pictures you've got, anything works.

@fetusmilk It wasn't just set down on a bench and forgotten. It was in a the VIP section of a club, meaning it was one of "us." Not Destructoid, but someone that certainly knows who we are, and I hope they look at the pictures of our community and realize what a terrible person they are.

I'm really hoping the jerkface sends the pictures back to you. I had a blast the entire time. I had just as much fun outside of the con as in it. Time to start saving money for Prime.
