Thanks, PAX, for being AWESOME

Tim Schafer Tim


I just got back from PAX. Please let me share some memories and a little bit of swine flu with you.

My favorite thing was the awesome cosplay. Iā€™ve seen Apple and Oya dressed as Raz and Lili before, but only in photos. At PAX we totally got to hang out and somewhere, someone has a picture of all three of us together to prove it. Until that surfaces, please enjoy this this blurry one:


And holly smokes, is that what I think it is? The first Ophelia costume I have ever seen? Yes it is! And from Conley of the Cookies, no less. So awesome.

In case you ever wonder what itā€™s like to sit on a panel at PAX, here is what it feels like:

Greg Zeschuk from Bioware was one of the other panelists.

He said he wanted to make a joke about character being the ā€œcoreā€ of storytelling using that apple core as a visual aid, but I talked him out of it. (I told him it would be to ā€œcornyā€ as I held up an ear of corn.)

If you want to find out who Iā€™m punching in the face here, youā€™re going to have to watch my video tour of PAX that I took hand-in-hand with Jeff Gerstmann.

Okay, Iā€™m changing my mind. My favorite part of PAX was actually meeting Old Grandma Hardcore in person. She was so sweet and didnā€™t swear once. Check her out in her Double Fine hoodie:

That was such a fun time! And I didnā€™t even get sick!
Oh no. I hope I didnā€™t just jinx it.

UPDATE: I told you! I wasnā€™t lying! I know people!

(Thank you, Red Firey, for the photo. Do you like the gentle blur I added to it? It makes my hand look all fuzzy.)

Also, there is now an in-depth, epic description of OGH adventures at PAX for you to enjoy. With pictures!
