    I see that Moe and I are at the top, but pay for it by being partially obscured.

    "There's just no pleasing some people..."

    "That's just what Jesus said, sir!"

    meh I didn't even make the second cut.

    but no worries STILL WANT!

    Post some place you'll be at some time PAX weekend and the first ones to find you get one? Seems fair and such.

    Holy shit.

    My name is on there.

    In the middle.

    Nestled between zero-suit Lyanth and cuddly Liger.


    I don't deserve this honor.

    I'm not worthy!



    Also...I am not sure what this thing even is. It is a badge. Made of what?
    Is it laminated? Is it sanitary? o_O

    EDIT:
    Nevermind. I just read kropotkin's description on how he makes them.

    I was on the first cut, but was then 66% removed. :D

    And I still want also. :D

    mines cut off at the top too, but it's still pretty awesome. Maybe as long as you know you're giving them away to forumers at PAX and not just anybody, lol
    Post some place you'll be at some time PAX weekend and the first ones to find you get one? Seems fair and such.

    You could setup a few times on Friday at least, including some before they open up the convention center, maybe in a nearby hotel lobby?

    Yes he did indeed win, which by the way still hasn't sunk in. My idea was to pass on a number of badges to VT. That way you either get them from him or me. VT will be easier to find than I as I'll be trawling the Expo hall doing interviews and what not. VT on the other hand will most likely be in a Wrex costume near the Bioware booth. Not hard to find in other words!

    There is however one fixed location I will be at. At 4pm on Friday 29th August I will be opening the live broadcast from the PAX show floor of Allgames Radio. This will be located near the media room, adjacent the Evil Avatar area. AGR is broadcasting for 2 hours at the end of every day at this years show.

    It would be great if you could stick around and listen in. There will be an area for an audience and we're going to be having guests during the broadcast.

    I think I may have to put the following statement in my sig as I swear I've said it many times but here goes:

    I cannot attend the Pre-PAX dinner due to other commitments namely trying to prevent my brain turning to mush after a 9 hour flight and having dinner with my fellow podcast co-hosts. The pub crawl however may be an option :lol:

    Wouldn't that be a cool story as to how you got your handle? "yeah my original one was cut off on this badge thing... long story. RESPECT THE_REFLECT, BITCH!"

    You would get +100 winnar points.

    Sorry to double post but... holy fucking shit. Is Scot Rubin coming to the show? Or are you just broadcasting down to LA for them? If so, I've gotta meet the crew from AGN... I ask cause I used to call in to that show almost every fucking day in my old job, and I also listened EVERY day.

    And holy crap... now I recognize your handle too. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Small world. Awesome world.

    Mr Rubin will not be gracing us with his presence as he is going to the Burning Man festival instead.

    The 'AGN crew' that you refer to have long since moved on since AGN's collapse in 2000. Some of them helped found G4 but have gone on to other things now. I know Laura Foy works for Microsoft but that's all I know about the whereabouts of former AGN staffers.

    AGR sprang into life in 2005 and is a very different network than AGN was. AGR broadcasts internet gaming radio 24/7 365 days of the year and hosts a plethora of podcasts as its primary content. It is the hosts of many of these podcasts that will be broadcasting from PAX.

    The AGN "crew" I speak of is the AGR crew. Namely Mayor Young, Jess, and common visitors like Redmond. I was a fan of AGN way back in the day before the fallout, but I never HAD G4 network, so I only saw it at my friend's house. Now I get G4 cause I have expanded cable, and it's a load of crap.

    But yeah, and AGR people showing up? I used to idle the chatroom, and call in to the RADIO show as late as last year. I just stopped when they put a ban on radio streaming at my old job...

    Now I have a new job, and im not sure why I don't tune in. I guess I should start again today!

    Oh right! You're an AGI fan! That's cool. Wel I do know that none of the AGI crew are coming to PAX I'm afraid. It's just a large selection of affiliates and in-house shows from AGR such as The Superhappyfuntime show (which I am a co-host of) and the Bobby Blackwolf Show.
