PAX has come and gone, and everyone that went can easily tell you it was the best time of their lives. It was just unbelievable how many of you came out to hang out with Dtoid. People came all the way from England, New Zealand, New York, Canada, Australia and all over the place because of some dude with a robot fetish.
From amazing hats, to strippers with stickers, to drinking Cristal in the streets of Seattle, to so much more, it was an absolute blast hanging out with all of you. I speak for everyone at Destructoid when I say thank you to every one of you that came out to PAX this year.
Nearly everyone that went to PAX made some sort of PAX blog and I’ve linked to every one of them all after the jump. And keep some tissues handy, as this is one long post.
Before the actual events of PAX, wardrox, pheonix-blood and Kryptinite made a couple of pre-PAX blogs. Wardroxtook a questionablephoto of himself and pheonix-blood, whileKryptinite made a videoof all the things he was planning on bringing to PAX. Why he brought two PSPs and two GBAs is beyond me.
Dead Pixel made the first actual PAX event blog. He was a lurker before but feels likea part of the familynow after going to the Redwood Bar, where a majority of Dtoiders were hanging out on the first night. He also had a very epic quote about the night’s events:
We are separated at birth, only to be reunited by controllers and keyboards.
Here’ssome random quotesby Cutie Honey and a few community members about PAX. Speaking of Cutie Honey, he’s working on an epic Destructoid comic series called “The Destructoid PAX 08 Movie: The Soundtrack: The Game: The Comic.” It’s going to be a 20- to 30-page comic series featuring tons of Dtoiders with the purpose of building up hype to make more people come out to PAX next year. Cutie Honey is an awesome artist, and I can’t wait to see more of his work.
Butmac had a few things to say about PAX, fromhaving a gay old time, totalking about the games of PAX, to closing out PAX bybeing the last band to playRock Band 2, tosending love to everyone that went to PAXin classic Butmac video form.

Rio McCarthy LOVES SWAG! Shepicked up a ton of thingswhile at PAX, including an import SNES. She was also in a very giving mood, as she hooked up the RetroforceGO! people with some awesome gifts and gave a few of us hats. The shark hat is one of the best gifts I’ve ever received. Also,check out Rio’shand-drawn image of the epic Dtoid group shot.

The GHostis amazing. He’s actually back in Africa now for the next few months, so it’ll be awhile before we hear from him again. Check out his blog, where he thanks everyone. Also, he wrote this up early in the morning because I snore very loudly. And here’ssome random picturesfrom all of the days GHost was around, including the very last day with just a few Dtoiders remaining in Seattle.

As amazing as PAX was, there was one major bit of sad news to come from it. .tiff, one of the most amazing ladies I’ve ever met,has parted ways with Destructoid. Real life always comes first, and her career is demanding more and more of her time. We’ll miss you, gurl.

Colette,you never failed oncewhile at PAX.
PAX was avery special event for pheonix-blood. She came all the way from England pretty much broke just to meet a bunch of Internet weirdos that like robot cocks. Also, I have a new love for Lemonade thanks to her, especially after having Cheesecake Factory’s lemonade.
It still blows my mind to know that some of you came from the other side of the world just to hang out with Dtoid.Macca came all the wayfrom New Zealand and is one hell of a guy.
DJDuffy and her gal Lizdrove down from Canadato hang out with the Dtoid Army. She, like the many others, blogged about her experience about meeting everyone for the first time.
Destructoid has transformedEmodrox into … not Emodrox. Hanging out with us at Seattle helped Wardrox make up his mind and figure out what he’s doing with his life. Also,cock socks.
Phistgives some shout outsto various Dtoiders and has a bunch of pictures from last week’s awesomeness. See you at Blipfest this year!
-D- gota bunch of STDs.
Here’s a photo of Dyson getting owned by Nick Chester atTetris,courtesy of power-glove. It still blows my mind that I ran into power-glove at the Seattle airport just minutes after arriving myself. Mostly for the fact that he recognized me.
I miss every singledamn one of you. <3
Nintendoll recapped herday-to-day adventures at PAX and is a really really really fun drunk.
Mutant Popehas a few photosfrom PAX, including some pictures of Wardrox not being able to handle American drinks.
Nearly 98% of these blogs are about Destructoid, while the other 2% are about the games of PAX. Not surprising, really, as I think most of us went to hang out with PAX being the backup plan in case most of us sucked in real life. Anyway,BigPopaGamer details someof the games he saw at PAX.
nademagnetis the MAN! He, along with a few other Dtoiders, went to a strip club on Sunday night and got one of the strippers to wear a few Dtoid stickers.
Black Yoshiis a new memberof the Dtoid family and was with us at PAX this year. The cute factor is through the roof in this blog, especially at the end.

FooLizthrew up some of her photosonto the Internets right before leaving for the airport for her long trip home.
What better way to end this collection of blogsthan with a toast! This part of the week was just amazing. We all went out in the streets of Seattle and we all shared in some Cristal and toasted to Niero and Destructoid!
