    Wow, this is fascinating. Although, not that he will ever succeed in getting it taken out of print, the book has such historical importance at this point that it definitely shouldn't be.

    I first encountered the Anarchist Cookbook online, where it was a loose collection of txts that changed depending on where you found it and who was doing the curating.

    It never even occurred to me that it used to be a cohesive book, with a message and an original author.

    This is just like all the people who are a few years younger than me, and got the impression from poorly labeled filesharing mp3 libraries that Weird Al Yankovic was this incredibly productive cyborg who has made thousands of songs, skits and parodies he never touched in his life.

    Sooo...What would that be? PAX South? PAX West-ish? PAX More-west-than-PAX-East-but-still-not-PAX-Prime?

    Pax South.

    Pax South.
    PAX East is now PAX Boston. So I imagine PAX Austin.

    PAX Prime will be a glorious Rome, seat to an Empire of Paces unmatched in our day.

    Rome will burn. But the Eastern Empire will rule on far after the fires burn out :-p

    Shout out back at you. It was fun to get to meet some of the crew at the after-dinner.

    I read somewhere that they had definitively ruled that out. We'l see.

    The comment made by Gabe N. was made some weeks before that turned up.

    The guy with the fuzzy blond hair in the top ten games panel was Chris Hecker.

    Oh man, PAX + Stubbs Barbecue? I don't think I'd ever make it out of texas again.

    Man, I pray for a PAX Europe. Or you could call it PAX Europa or PAX Romana if you hosted it in Rome.

    To be fair to IGN and their female writers panel, is there one top list out there that both Rym and Scott would approve? Does anyone ever LOVE a top list?

    OK, let me make it easier: has there ever been a top list that recognized Counterstrike and had it at a respectable rank?

    Is that an in joke? Rym asked who he was on the podcast, and I thought you'd enjoy that "the only one who knew what the fuck he was talking about" at the top ten panel is a dev (and a pretty exceptional one at that), not a journo. In fact, Totilo is the only person from the top ten panel who is in the gaming press. Croal is a consultant (although he does write for Edge once in a blue moon), and the rest are devs.

    Pence Arcade Expo in the U.K.

    One-pence coins are called pennies. Pence Arcade Expo would translate to Cent Arcade Expo in American. It's still a clever idea, but it bothers the pedant in me.

    Thousands of Pasty gamer guys hitting the beach in shorts. And can you imagine what the heat will do to the overall gamer funk levels? DO NOT WANT.

    The lack of hygiene that a lot of gamers have ruins everything for everyone. I was at the Halo: Reach midnight release on campus, and it smelled like a goddamn abattoir.

    At least this heightens the chance of them touching the water over the course of the weekend.

    Grease is hydrophobic. The ocean will bounce right off of them.

    If all of them try getting in at once, a tidal wave will crush Japan. And then where will we get our games?
