    It also bears saying that Burning Sea is damned neat, and the developers are wonderfully cool. They also had the best swag last year, t-shirts that said:

    "Support Piracy"

    or

    "Getting Booty since 1672" *

    *Not sure on the year.

    So, uh, what's the exclusive afterparty? I didn't know we had that kind of stuff at PAX. But then again, it could just be so exclusive that nobody knows about it.

    Well, Turbine had an afterparty last year. It's not totally unheard of.

    Oh, but this one's exclusive.

    Which means nobody but the awesome, cooler-than-you people who write essays for obscure video game web contests will be there.

    Hot damn, that party's gonna rock.

    okay, I'll give you that. I love how they kept trying to shut it down after we got some 500 people into that 200-person bar.

    He can't, but I will if you write an essay for me.

    Relate at least five aspects of Jungian philosophy to the issuance of letters of marque by the so-called 'age of sail' governments.

    Typed, Double-spaced, at least 3600 words with citations in MLA format.

    Technically, but a lot of his stuff was philosophical in nature. Collective unconciousness, archetypes, shadows - all have way more basis in philosophy than in actual science.

    Also, on topic - Whoo, drinkin!

    After googling for Turbine on Penny-Arcade.com, I found the post by Mike on it:
    Mike Fehlauer wrote:
    The tabletop area will also have a few prize tournaments from Tablestar Games and others. And we'll be hosting the Turbine party (free, open to every PAX attendee over 21) in the adjoining restaurant/bar.

    -Mike

    In one of the Tabletop threads.

    The results are in:

    Seems that no PA forumers came up with a prize, which is surprising, as Accalon did some inspired photoshopping.

    Fortunately, the "exclusive party" seems to have a back door into it, as their forum moderator was overheard saying:

    Frankly, if there are any fans within walking distance of our Friday night party, do please let me know, as I would love to see you join us for merriment and ne'er do well...ing.

    Check out this link if you want to contact their forum moderator (Aether).

    I'll probably go. I heard that the grog might have alcohol in it.
