PAX, DAY 1 (Friday) Part 1/2
THIS POST IS QUITE LONG. The photos (of which there are 22) will be in the post right after this)
FRIDAY - THE DAY OF ROAMING.
I got up bright and early, 7:30am, showered, and everyone got ready, heading down to the lineup hall. Actually we were supposed to go at 8, but the guys got up and started watching venture brothers. So then we went down and waited for hours and hours! To get into PAX. It was so hard since we hadn't eaten, but Pat, Doug, C and I were playing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates in multiplayer and .. wow, we're the worst team ever. But after a while, there was a red light on my DS, and we had to quit. Then Pat, C, Doug, and some guy named Tony went to subway to eat around 1:00. An hour before the doors opened, and we had gotten our wristbands for the concert tonight.
Firstly, Jeff and I and Pat and Chew went into the exhibition hallway, and I bought a keychain mushroom, and a PAX 2008 shirt for Ne0, and Pat got me a babydoll's version of the 08 shirt. We wandered around, and I pilfered a Resistence 2 bag and a Little Big Planet bag from the sony thing before we hurried out to watch the keynote speech by Ken Levine. That man is fucking hilarious and a lot of profanity that PAX encourages. After that, was the Q & A for Tycho and Gabe. I have a lot of quotes that i wrote down and here they are:
Ken Levine: ... so when the Dark Lord asks for a high-five ... you give him a high-five!
Tycho: *refuses to sing a song*
Gabe: SING IT, MONKEY.
Audience: XD!
Tycho: o/' If you're really a woman~ o/'
Gabe: Everytime we sit down to write, we have the mics set up for the podcasts. I think we should really do more and put them up, but do you know what he says? "Fuck 'em."
Tycho: This is also a "wewy" con too, you know.
Gabe: Yeah! Thanks for the million billion mingle-points, everyone.
[Sasha: This is for the wewy people on my list. XD Seriously, you walked about a step and you got 10 people for mingle mode, and a lot of them played TWEWY. XDD]
Dude: *babbles* I just want to thank you for giving me the opprotunity to do this to a lot of people at once ... *rickroll*
Gabe: Enforcers, grab him!
Gabe: Did (so and so) tell you to do that knuckle thing?
Dude: I swear to God I didn't say shit!
Dude: Did you have any more information on PAX East?
Gabe: Yes. *pause*
Dude: ... can you share it?
Tycho: (My Baldness) gives me the super power to keep myself from killing you.
Gabe: *Whispers* Don't ask about the hair!
Tycho: We're too stupid to know when to quit.
Gabe: Do YOU have any candy?
Dude: No...?
Gabe: Then we're going over THIS way.
Dude: I've never shot up the school, but I play these games --
Gabe: Well the school year just started.. -- too soon?
Tycho: I'm getting flossed by this chord...
Girl: I hear you two are close friends--
Gabe: Are you SURE You listened to the podcasts?
Girl: -- you guys ARE superstars --
Gabe: MEGA superstars, thank you very much.
Gabe: You're making a Paranoia reference? I love you. LET'S BE TOGETHER.
Gabe: I dare you to drink whatever's in that jar.
Tycho: Why are you doing this?!
Gabe: I DOUBLE dare you!
Tycho: Why are you doing this?!
Gabe: TRIPLE DOG DARE.
Dude: I don't know about anyone else in here....
Gabe: ME NEITHER. I mean, have you SEEN some of the people here?
Jeff: They love to derail any comment ...
Me: Give them a pause, and they just run the othe way with it.
Dude: Hello!
Both: Hey!
Gabe: How can we disappoint you? :D
After the QandA, was the RoosterTeeth panel and awesomely enough, the guy who voices Caboose was totally loaded. XD They're dicks, but it was so funny. ("Dude, that was 15 feet and you came up SHORT." "Hey, how about you have a ball-throwing contest with Gus.") Also, they showed us a sneak peak at what they were doing next: An animated Red Vs Blue that was one in hella good quality! It made me want to watch it again. So that ended about 8:00 or so, and then we went off to watch Round 2 of the Omegathon, Boom Blox. Well, I watched a little, but I wanted to get back to the hotel room to write this and get my wallet back from Pat, who had my LBP bag. So now i'm watching Pat play Sonic 1 (on Jeff's wii wtf) and we're all discussing how we never beat the original sonic game. I beat Sonic 2, and I think Jeff's the only one who has. We're going to the concert, so I'll be picking this up tomorrow! :)
We missed the first half of the One-Ups concert, but what we did catch was amazing. They're a little jazz, a little ska, and a lot video games. Chew left near the end to get their Cds for Jeff, and Jeff graciously got me volume 2 which was of what they were playing. After them was Freezepop, and they were AMAZING. Their music is "techno" influenced, and they're really, really good. I became a fan during that performance. Also, Doug and Carlton were at the front with Joseph, and Doug held up a sign that said "JEFF YOU LOST" (the game) and then later on, "JEFF I'M PREG-O" XD After they played an encore, Jonathon Coulton came out. He's the guy who did the "Stay Alive" song, and he's hilarious. I was so tired and achy that I wasn't enjoying his set as much as I should've, but I was ready to drop. I stuck around until his first encore, but then I asked Pat to take me back to the hotel, when he was going to a second one, but damn it, I was tired. XD I fell asleep right away.
PHOTOS COMING SOON. I swear, Photobucket is like as;lkjas;lkfja;kd stop it woman. XD;
