PAX may be over, but everyone has been posting about their experiences in the community blogs still. While the almighty shark takes the day off to recover, I'm going to do the same by mentioning a few of my highlights.
From Professor Pew wearing a rad eyepatch to Chad's voice dying (which made him sound like a lesbian) to the legendary mechanical Darksiders horse that always went slower for girls, stuff happened at PAX, and 99.9% of it was beyond amazing. The other .1% was plain old phenomenal.
Borderlands became our PAX 2009 Game of the Show, Rocksteady pulled a prank on Arkham Asylum pirates, we all became sick (except for that damned Brad Nicholson and his gorgeous pecs), and plenty more happened on 09/08/09.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else.

Good to hear you guys had fun!
What you can't tell from this picture is that pew and solgrim are actually 12ft tall.
Pax has made me want to become more involved in the Dtoid community. Simply because they're awesome.
