Looks like Penny Arcade pulled a prank on Paul Christoforo. Gabe says he'll post a post explaining the whole thing this week, but you can see what happened on Gabe's Twitter:
Looks like Penny Arcade pulled a prank on Paul Christoforo. Gabe says he'll post a post explaining the whole thing this week, but you can see what happened on Gabe's Twitter:
1) Gabe and Co. send the Ocean Marketting guy (who's banned from PAX for all those "I'm going to kill you, Gabe" messages) some pictures they took at PAX, while pretending to be an anonymous source.
2) Ocean Marketting douchbag posts pictures, pretending to have gone to East
3) Gabe and Co. reveil that they were the ones who took pictures, and prove it.
I watched some of the live streams on twitch.tv (which was awesome to at least be able to catch just a tiny bit of PAX remotely), but I never caught the payoff to the whole Aperture POTATO safety device things they made Mike & Jerry wear during all of PAX. Can someone explain?
The potato was necessary to be sure they would be safe. A safety potato if you will. Mike and Jerry did initially attempt to lose their potato, but thanks to the hard-working scientists at Aperture, we were able to replace the potato within a few moments each time.
I keep trying to type my thoughts up on PAX but there's just too much ground to cover. It was awesome, as PAX always is. Of course, it always leaves you with this lingering feeling that you only saw a slice of what happened there that weekend, yet you still feel like a tornado of fun has ripped through your body. I have no regrets.
Now to start plotting a 3rd trip to PAX Prime. How can I pull this off...
It was pretty fun meeting everybody at PAX. I know I talked quite a bit with High Definition/Dan since we talked a ton at Prime in 2010. I also believe I've double-met Emily, Ro, and Scott to lesser extents. Sadly I didn't really spend a lot of time with most of you, trying to do all the things and talk with all the peoples. I appreciated generally being welcome with the group despite my not being a known-known around here so-much.
I'll probably see a bunch of you at Prime. Hopefully by then I can be up-to-speed on all the board games. My focus was too split this year, and I had a friend to show all the things to. I think I'm going to make it a point to get proficient in a bunch of the popular things so I can throw down as necessary.
That plan always seems like a good idea until we randomly kill the detective. Or until the Sheriff doesn't do his/her job and the mafia kills the detective. We'd do better drawing straws to figure out who to lynch than picking with "strategy."
The suit thing worked out for me even without a meetup. I wore it to Khoo and A and all day Saturday which actually played well into pretty-much everything I did that day incidently. I felt a bit disingenuous about it at first, but it was definitely an interesting experiment.

So happy I made sure to have tomorrow off.
