Edit: Also the guy that I defeated in the round before quarter finals, (You were using Luc, I was using Mark) where we went through about 15 deuces before you finally beat me in the 2nd of 3 games. Just wanted to say thanks for the game again, that was probably some of the most intense gaming I have ever been a part of! The crowd behind us was getting pretty into it too. :shock:
At PAX '05, a female Enforcer tried to assassinate me in the PAXsassins game, but politely asked if I was "X" before she yoinked my paper watch. I wasn't, so she relented... blaming a crappy webcam shot.
I saw her again this year while I was watching the videos at the Ubisoft booth. We locked eyes, but she was engaged in conversation. I didn't bump into her again.
Anyway, if she was wondering "hey, I recognize that guy's face... but from where?!", well... yeah, that's why.
And I bumped into RedBeastMage at the Nintendo booth, and JoshEEE outside the main theater (he gave me his Sumo bean bag), and DocZero at the front of the line the first day, and Anna (Sylvanbabe, an '06 Omeganaut!) that I met last year, and the tall, sunglassed, combat booted, sorta/kinda mohawked enforcer who is just the coolest of the bunch, and Princess Red Dot... and of course, little Gabe running around like a maniac with mom in tow. That was adorable.
Oh, and I checked into my hotel next to Jynx, Calyber and Psyche. Calyber thought my watch was cool until she realized it was my paper PAXsassins watch. Jynx cleared that up for her.
Yeah, I totally saw all of you.
Alright, beer is wearing off... time to head to bed...

They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
:winky:
There was also a team of individuals at the Halo 2 tourney who were either attempting to be ironic or really really really need to have the tar beaten out of them. If anyone knows who they are, tell me so that I may mock them and be all elitist.
I also played a random late-night D&D game with some guys from the Tabletop area, which was a blast, and involved a minor debate on what weapon proficiency would be required to swing an Elf at a Halfling, and if that same profieciency would cover swinging a Halfling at an Elf or if you'd need another for that. Plus the best Rome: Total War story ever.
We've been together for almost 7 months

Rankenphile? I think. (Someone playing brikwars
And I think I saw the back of the head of Trillian and PolaGo. I yelled out Trillian at a random couple walking past the Red Lion. But since they kicked me out of their room share thing, I'm pretty sure they didn't want to meet me.
I didn't mention names of people from the PAX forum, just ones I know from the regular forums. So I'm sorry if I forgot to mention your name.
Like the girl playing Ouendan in the wireless lounge or that only guy who won at the Soul Calibur Beat the Pros event.
But whatever, I suppose this works too.
EVERYONE who played in the War3 tourney. Gaske in particular. The really tall FFA player too.
I'd like to know who those fellows are.
Glad to not disappoint. Sorry about the original, just wanted to give some examples.
Not everything is nefarious. You remind me of a friend who is always looking for the "gotcha" in things. It makes life less enjoyable (IMO).
It's a trap! Heh... some trap.
Anyway, I liked your blow up doll. At least I got to say, "That's Pika" almost immediately on day one.

A mighty list to be sure!
Chances are I was seen. I had on my full black suit on Friday.
Like that, but with glasses.
Breslin,
Doc,
Pikapuff,
Robert Khoo.
I saw briefly:
Legacy.
I was the young guy in a gray Div T-shirt Friday and a dark gray "Also Available in Sober" T-shirt Saturday.
Doc IS tall.
PSN/XBL: dragoniemx
I never did see her again though.
Yes, there was much musing in the IRC channel that the only thing PolaGo saw at PAX was the inside of his hotel room.
I looked for him the entire time.
edit: I guess I also saw Legacy...
pfft...
I saw a couple other people from the picture thread, but nobody who's active on the forums.
most of all, most of all
someone said true love was dead
but i'm bound to fall
bound to fall for you
oh what can i do
They both looked like they didn't get much sleep, though... :winky:
Studying quantum theory and reading to the blind.
And.. on Sunday night (like midnight) we saw like ten enforcers and Gabe at Bellevue Denny's. They must have worked to clear things and take care of the equipments and such till then.. I tried not to stare to see who I could recognize as we were sitting at a different table but still wanted to salute you for all your hard work! Thanks!!
More specifically:
Knob
Rankenphile
The Enforcers.
everyone else was decoded by my brain as chattering obstacles to be hurdled and trampled underfoot
Not only did I see you, I played a crapton of SC3 with you. I was the tall guy with short curly hair that used Astaroth a lot. Your Cervantes is pretty mean, and your control scheme is totally messed up. :P
ssssshhh... you'll ruin everything!
:winky:
Oh, and I paid Doc back his $20, so I can stop looking over my shoulder, afraid that he'll come after me and shake me upside down for it :P
So yeah, I saw Doc too, also Knob, Eyes5, PikaPuff and Khoo.
I gave out PA forum badges, made by Pola, to many of the forum people I met. I didn't bring enough though, so they'll make a reappearance next year.
They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
But holy crap I met a metric fuck-ton of forumers this last week. Too many to list.
I saw etoychest pop up in pictochat, but didn't get a chance to track him down and say hi.
Brilliant! Yeah, I remember you, and I remember your Astaroth! Sir, next PAX, there will, of course, be more battle. Great playing you, can't wait for some rematches.
How in the hell did I not find you guys. I was there all but 2-3 hours on Saturday morning.

I do remember recruit though, possessing a whit sharper than his dress sense even.
And several other guys. I'm the one that had the hookah (some of you thought it was a bong), ontop of my pc in the BYOC on sunday...
the sightings are skewed by the number of people that have mistaken knob sightings for doc sightings
we are legion
Holy shit I didn't know you posted here as well.
I saw, uh, you.
I don't know anybody from this forum well at all.
Aha! The good ol chap who gave me a sip from his theater-purchased, five dollar bottle of water.
I felt as if I owed you a dollar, following that.
I also have a blog!
I was the 18 foot tall guy with no hair.
You saw me. You asked me what time I was going to get in line on Saturday morning. I said 8 and asked you, and you said '7:59 now!'
Man, we were both screwed by 8 AM. That line was insane. Did you end up getting a wristband?
