A group of people spent over 2 hours setting up their newly purchased board game with hundreds of cardboard pieces in the Sheraton lobby (Android, I think). After another short time, my wife wanders over to ask who was winning. "The Game. The Game is winning."
Haha, I remember saying that!
The game was indeed Android. Eventually we finished setting up, only to discover that we were much to tired to complete more than one round of the game. We really enjoyed every random visit from all the spectators. Each new visit helped to dampen the pain that was the setup of this game.
Let your wife know we did eventually complete setup, only to realize that we were too tired to finish more than one round of the game.
I was tickled pink when I heard someone's ringtone as the "Codec" sound from MGS. Only at PAX!
I wish this was only at PAX. I hear it sooo much. I've got at least 3 friends hwo have it on their phones. -_-
Well, I obviously don't have the right kind of friends since that's the first time I'd ever heard it! Honestly though, my husband and I are sort of a geek island of our own. Set adrift amongst the rednecks and jarheads of the military . . .

Was walking out of the convention center, some dude in a wheelchair was sitting off to the side of the entryway between the inner and outer doors talking with some friends. Just as my wife and I walked by, we overheard him say to his friends "...and there was much rejoicing."
I, and I think everyone else within earshot all responded with "yayyyy!" even though we weren't part of the conversation :-)
I shall make a note of this and act appropriately at the next PAX.
Maybe I should barcode myself for next year...
Probably my favorite conversation ever overheard at 3am:
Guy 1:Ninjas
Guy 2:Pirates
Guy 1:Ninjas have dark arts.
Guy 2:So, pirates have guns
Guy 1:Each pirate killed by ninjas would be resurrected as zombie pirates working for ninjas.
Guy 2:You win....wait! Robot Pirates.
Guy 1:Too slow.

Q: "You are in the garden. You see a rose bush. You have a fishing rod. Exits are North, South and IN."
A: "What do you want from me?!?!?"

My husband Friday night in the hotel room:
Him: "I'm not sure if I'm not enough of a nerd or too much I stick out"
Me: "You fit right in with everyone else."
This is the same guy who brought his Quail Man outfit and refused to wear it because he felt he would stick out.

Oh man, I would've loved some Quail Man action! That's a great cosplay! Patty Mayonnaise would be pretty easy to do too, haha! Oh, PAX, you have made us all EMBRACE our inner nerd-dom.
At the Dark Sun D&D event, our DM told the group that drinking our own urine for sustenance once wasn't poisonous, so immediately every character in the party gained a new daily power.

gotta wonder though just how many people would have actually recognized it. i over heard a few people arguing about whether or not the Dr. McNinja cosplayer was a spy or not. i probably should have educated them on the matter, but thought i'd leave them be.

Your husband would've been my personal hero, just sayin.
That costume would've made the weekend that much better.

I will! I managed a peek at the board before you finished setting up and it looked like a monstrous undertaking. If you ever get to play, I'ld like to hear about it.

Here are some pictures of setup and our eventual celebration of the game starting:
A little over half way through setup
And then they read the most beautiful words in the manual "The game is now ready to begin."

Funny, since Android is also put out by Fantasy Flight Games. Take a look next time you check about the latest news on upcoming AH expansions.

I have to laugh HARD at this, considering there was equal space dedicated to 4X shirts at the merch booth as there was to any other size shirts.

Girl: OMG why are you trading that pokemon??
