Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

During the first game of the Munchkin Tournament:
In order to get rid of a particularly nasty curse (actually a pair of them) someone stood up and declared:
I'll pay $1 to the first two people that come over and help me get rid of this curse.
I haven't seen half a room move that fast in a long time.

WOW. That is brilliant.
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?!?!?"
Nerd 1: "Yeah, he brought his girlfriend"
Nerd 2: "Wait, his girlfriend? Like a real one?"
Mine was having a hard time not pissing herself laughing.
The one outside? That was hilarious. Just when I thought it was over that little girl came outta nowhere fists flying.
"Good god, this queue room is like a limitless Bag of Holding for humans!"
"Is that where the flower show is this weekend?"
"Yeah, I wanna go Matrix." - Scott Kurtz

Actually, there was a flower show at the Bayside Expo Center running at the same time. Too bad the local news stations were complete morons and covered the flower show instead of PAX.

Kurtz: "I mean, I'm fat, but there are some fucking fat people here. I think Khoo hired some sort of alpha fat guy to sit in the corner and make me feel good about myself. He just sits there and keeps eating soup, he's too tired to chew anything at this point, and he keeps making noises and begging to leave but Khoo won't let him."
so the guy mentioned that right up the street next week you can see thousands of people cosplaying as pro baseball players.
ALPHA FAT GUY!!!! that was a "where's waldo" type search for me afterwards."is that him?"
did anyone record that?
in the food court either Fri or Sat, when just about every seat was filled, every table was taken and every bin was overflowing. yeah, lots of people flooding in and spending tons of money, thats good.
My wife overheard this too, hilarious!
That was really funny, especially after we sang happy birthday.
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?!?!?"
"Man, stop acting so angry."
"Yo, he reminds me of that guy who lives in the trash. What's his name?"
I had the same experience except my elevator contained a couple union guys moving stuff around for the Reebok conference. As the doors are closing one of them says "Better watch out, those nerds will hack the elevator."
They said that it brought in over $20m I think?
That being said, I wish that PAX smelled like the Flower Show rather than what it indeed did wreak of.
Random calling of "Jayson" (Heavy Rain reference) through the halls.
Everyone shouting processor (including me) when I won a processor. No idea what it was worth at the time. Thanks Intel!
I was commenting on how different the terrain was in Boston compared to my home town of Virginia Beach. all the up and down combined with different types of concrete asphalt and coble stone. 2 of the guys said they were from upstate new york and were used to it.
the 3rd guy pipes up with the thickest Scottish accent i've ever heard in person and says " I come from a town built on 5 hills".
the way he said it with his accent made us all chuckle. his home town sounded mythical
<head turn>
"dayymmnnnnn"
Massive Crystal Cavern!
"When I told him it cost $100 he choked me."
Red Shirt "Also, if you see anyone wearing a silver or gold medal, its because they're bad-asses"
and Mike says "then i guess your not going to the milking panel"
*crowd laughter*
or something close to that.
Some guy in the console freeplay room around the Super Street Fighter IV tables asking my brother "Excuse me, are you Seth Killian?"
My brother : "Man, I gotta change my name to Seth."
(insert generalized PAX convo here)
GIRL: ...speaking of, can I...?
*she sticks her companion, me and my fiance with PAX Pox)
GIRL, to MIDDLE AGED LADY: Excuse me, could I infect you?
MIDDLE AGED LADY: Uh...sure.
Middle aged lady exited elevator before the rest of us got off at the lobby level.
Lead Singer of Anamanaguchi: "If only there was a way that we could party sitting down."
That guy wasn't kidding, he IS cosplaying Scott Pilgrim for real.

"It's like they only know binary!"
"Alright guys, take a deep, cleansing breath....
Now let it out."
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
"We walked right into that one."
Paul and Storm were just wicked in general. <3
During P&S, when the camera focused on the audience waving DS's/other mobile devices back and forth during a song, only to center on the DS in Pictochat with the hand-written word, "Awwww!"
Priceless.
Since we're still on concerts, after JoCo performed Mr. Fancypants and he was hopping around the stage and made it sound good, a guy standing somewhere behind us said, "He's talented even when he's WALKING."
The night of the Pokecrawl (I didn't attend) but I was admiring all of the bulbasaur hats.
So I did my famed bulbasaur impression ... "BULBA!" hollered through the streets of Boston.
The people in front of us were like "Did someone just yell 'vulva'? What the f-ck?" It was rather amusing!
"don't be a dick"
Wheaton FTW
QFT.
In my opinion, people were overall AWESOME. No one was a dick at all that I saw. When I'd roll up to things, people a few times asked if I could see or if they needed to move so I could (rarely needed them to, but that people did was awesome...much more used to people not paying any attention at all).
