Well I didn't really see anywhere else to introduce myself, or talk about going to PAX next year, so I figured I'd knock them both over in this new one!
I'll keep things short, since I'm actually at work, and in the middle of a call right now
My name is Phil, I'm 20 and I'm from Australia. I'm proud to have been a fan of Penny Arcade for a long time, though unfortunately not since the very beginning. I've got a fair bit of merchandise from the store, I donate to Child's Play, and I can't help but quote Penny Arcade comics in day-to-day life, in much the same way that a person with any real intelligence would quote Shakespeare. I figured it was about time I start posting here, as well as making a pilgrimage to PAX next year.
Also, I'm curious to know if there are any other Australians that have either gone to PAX in previous years, or who are planning to go in 2009.

I know theres at least 3 regulars who are aussies :P
If you're looking for a great community, you've come to the right place! I just started being a frequent poster last year, and in what I've seen this is probably one of the most friendly and helpful places on the internet. (I know, toot our own horn, *toot toot* )
Join the IRC Channel if you want to shoot the breeze anytime!
Also, if you'd be interested (as a Child's Play fan ), I'm sure in the next few months we'll be starting up the Cookie Brigade brainstorming... if you're coming to PAX, join our cookie baking and selling crusade!
Welcome!
Hmm... in other news, there should be some kind of welcome/introduce yourself/orientation thread, I think that could potentially be useful... but maybe I'm jumping the gun. PAX '09 may be too far away to worry about having an official thread for it just yet.
I'm currently in the middle of my own personal journey of baking discovery at the moment, so I'd be very happy to join the Cookie Brigade!
So far I've just made Choc Hazelnut Brownies, Chocolate Muffins, Lemon Slice, Passionfruit and Lemon Slice, and Sticky Date Puddings. Hopefully by next year I'll have upgraded my arsenal to include a wide array of delicious cookies as well. I may even have to respresent my country with some Aussie cookies.
Dont worry, there won't be any vegemite.
A) Sound delicious!
Are things we can definitely sell on the cookie brigade! (Some of our most popular items last year were caramels, so we actually serve a wide variety of delicious treats )
It'll be perfect! Woot!
So yeah, join up on IRC and say hello! I personally am moving in... ack, almost 7 days, so I won't be around for a few weeks... but the natives are friendly peoples!
<Moe_Fwacky> nice girls
<Moe_Fwacky> lesbians
<Moe_Fwacky> robbed drugstores together
You either
A. Spread it too thickly, or
B. Have to be raised eating it.
Personally I can see how eating dark brown (almost black) goo, could be a daunting prospect. And it doesn't taste that good anyway... but I do enjoy it from time to time.
Marvelous! I'll have to just keep learning and perfecting various recipes, and then bust out whatever I feel like making when I get to PAX!
nah, a year ago, this place was full of assholes. odd that it changed around that time :winky:
Vegemite is tasty. :P
And I'm from Tasmania
Oh, QB, you lie!!!!! Its yummy, although Marmite is better
