    - LOBBY-BAR, LOBBY-BAR...meeting up with the Behemoth guys (and girl) at said lobby bar, and chatting while they doodled on a big cardboard box. Got my badge drawn on by Dan Paladin, so that was awesome.

    The CCP Party was pretty awesome this year. I honestly can't think of a most favorite moment, but there were a lot of little great ones.

    Hanging out with Omeganaut Saxicide at P3, she was an awesome chick. Getting stopped by total strangers because they saw my Doctor Who shirt and then talking with them for almost an hour about the good Doctor. VIP at the Alienware party, that was just bonkers. And finally playing one of my first games of DnD ever, spending an entire round of turns planning out my amazing attack, only to fail an acrobatics check and fall flat on my face. Oh and getting to chat with the Wildstar team. Those guys are totally chill.

    Suffice to say I had a pretty amazing time and can't wait till next year.

    My favorite had to be Ken Levine signing my custom made Splicer mask. I couldn't believe I got the opportunity. <3
    Also the Assassin's Creed panel with Toby and the Star Wars panel were amazing. :D

    Here's a video of my favorite moment this year, at Just Dance 3 booth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDxv-tWMoso

    Apart from that, this was a much different PAX for me compared to previous years. A lot less about the show and more about meeting some amazing people I've gotten to know. They made the show more special to me then they'll ever know.

    Easily the Landos.

    A close second would be stumbling upon (and joining!) the winning Moogle team. Total random chance.

    Sadly, I still did not get to meet Wil. I guess that means I'll have to keep returning to PAX until I do!

    either watching Wil Wheatons reaction as he was presented with a 'Cloak of dicks' which he seemed to wear for the rest of the con. Or the entrances of all the players and Chris perkins in their costumes during the acquisitions incorporated game. I lost it when scott kurtz came on stage by busting through a wall, then i lost it harder when perkins entered in his Mad Hatter outfit

    Playing what may have quite possibly been the best and most hilarilous delve ever on Sunday evening in the Sheraton lobby bar.

    Chris Perkins teeth. I felt drawn into them.

    Mine would have to be the pub crawl. We had such a great time and raised a ton of money for Childs Play.

    The Fragdoll party was also a high point. Inside the actual convection I'd have to go with the Q&A. Mike and Jerry get funnier every year and are getting excellent at playing off even the most benign questions.

    actually I need to add this to my favorite moments, during the Q&A session my friend (an artist) gets Mike to draw Mike and Jerry as they would appear in the comic if they weren't Gabe and Tycho

    My favorite was the 2K Games 'Citizen Skywatch' booth. Was a really cool concept having everyone in character and having the booth be about the experience, not about the game so much.

    The best for me was on the last day, me and a friend brought our guitars inside the elevator, and rode it up and down for 2+ hours bringing live elevator music for anyone who decided not to use the stairs

    Also, not winning any raffles but instead getting the chance to meet really cool people

    Getting my photo with Mr. Destructoid.

    Been going for four years and every year I happen to run into the robot. At first it was just cool to keep on seeing him, bumping into him in front of the building or wandering the expo hall, but this year I was stoked about not breaking the streak. It was late Sunday afternoon, my big camera was already dead, and I had already made numerous laps around the hall without finding Mr. D, and then: he was there.

    One of the people in the 7-letter Moogle group on Saturday let me have his t-shirt.

    Whoever you were, thank you so much! I'm wearing it as I type this. <3333333

    I didn't have time for an actual signature, so here's a picture of a cat with a tinfoil hat.

    One single game made the whole show for me Sentinels of the Multiverse. Nothing else all weekend really excited me. That game, though, just made the whole weekend awesome. One of the single greatest card games I have ever played!

    Oh man there were so many great things...

    Getting Jonathan Coulton to sign my Plush Companion Cube and getting him to say happy birthday to a friend of mine who couldn't make it was great..

    Winning a Scroll from the Mojang booth and getting both Notch and Jeb to sign it (I think Notch was a BIT hungover from his party.)

    The Saturday Night concert was just so amazing. First PAX and first time seeing Paul and Storm and Jonathan Coulton. It was just great. (Secret sauce)

    Just going to my first PAX. More specific? Okay.

    Games:
    Getting hands on time with GW2 and Torchlight 2. Orcs Must Die is just as crazy as it seemed when I initially found out about it (helped that I've been playing Sanctum as well.) My surprise game was Wildstar. For a game that was announced only a week before PAX started the combat system was smooth as butter. The combos were solid, and the integrated dodging mechanic was perfectly fluid.

    Panels:
    Actually hit up all the panels I put down in the schedule thread (skipped the Halo 4 panel though) plus an extra on Friday night. Learned quite a bit and heard some interesting tidbits, but the clear winner was getting some free Borderlands 2 from the Gearbox panel. I'll admit I totally freaked, though I could feel it coming with Randy's little speech before he told us exactly what the cards being handed out were.

    Other random PAXness:
    -The 3 hour game of Munchkin Cthulhu that saw me blindside two people with wandering level 18s (still lost though :() to extend the game much longer than any of us thought.
    -Going like 70-5 in SSFIV:3D figurine battles over the weekend. I have like well over a 1000 spins of the figurine wheel now. Also, getting like 10x the amount of Miis in my Plaza that I started with before I arrived on Thursday.
    -Chatting with Kristen Perry from ANet while waiting in line for the Gearbox panel for a good hour or so. Once the free Borderlands 2 thrill wears off (still can't believe that stuff), I think this might be my favorite moment of PAX 2011. Listening to her talk about her impact on the game was amazing (especially after seeing it in motion a day before), but that we went into talking about ourselves (at her behest) and then other random games like we'd known each other for more than the 2 minutes we were in line together was crazy awesome. Good thing I've been getting over that whole shyness thing with the large amount of weight I've lost, or I probably wouldn't have said anything to her for the entire time was the standing/sitting right next to her in line. Totally took that whole "70k friends you've never met" thing to heart there.
    -PPP was f'in great! Music was awesome, met a cool dude that we played darts with for a good portion of the night (and I totally wanted to get some RB in, but was having such a good time in the back corner man.)

    Maybe a little longer than it needed to be, but I'm still running off the high of finally going to this thing this year. I already can't wait to go to East to do it all again :lol:

    Seeing my son meet his idol, Notch, in person. :D That was pretty rad.

    My favorite moment at PAX 2011 was doing Line Entertainment, grabbing the megaphone and playing Nyan Cat while dancing through the WSCC!

    Gygax the cat is....Happy.... to meet you. And then he turned out to be the traitor. And then a minion.

    The whole thing was fun, but as usual I have the fondest memories of the tabletop gaming I did. LOVED Super Dungeon Explore (Soda Pop Minis... 6th floor).

    Either seeing papa Burch from HAWP outside smoking a cigar like a boss, or Garrett from Mega 64 saying my friend looked like his sister. Or watching Marty O'Donnell walk into the bathroom. #CREEPER

    My favorite part was James Portnow's opening speech for the Education Through Play panel. I swear it put several TED talks to shame.

    Also, getting hamburgers at Dick's at 1AM Sunday night with 2-Player Productions was pretty cool.

    Also, chatting up Derek Alexander (Happy Video Game Nerd/Starship Amazing).

    Also, tossing out free swag to the crowd right before the Protomen performed on Friday night.

    Also, every single awesome drawing on the Fangamer booth: from Chell and myriad Pokemon to dinosaurs and Batman eating a sandwich.

    Losar on
    Isn't that informative!? Hooray!!

    I really enjoyed the Wildstar (I have hi-hopes for that game) booth but my favorite moment was winning 1st place in the BYOC Casemod contest: http://bit.ly/ntHrIW
