Action PAX! Part 2

[RSS FEED]

Did you hear? We were at PAX this weekend! Forums emperor Gatzby took time away from unjustly censoring your comments and took some photos for us. Part One was yesterday, and we hope that, after the jump, you'll be joining us for Part Two.

When we last left Gatzby, he was in line for Duke Nukem Forever.

But waiting for DNF is so 20th Century, right? So Gatz decided to go check the other booths again. Really, who could blame him for leaving? Especially when other booths had stuff like this:

Let's face it, there's not a head-to-head fighting game in the world that wouldn't benefit from a playable Ewok Blademaster character. Imagine the trash talking possibilities each time he won!

A year ago, this Tron lightcycle sculpture seemed like an awfully cool statement from a studio willing to commit. But now it's starting to seem like an old friend from college who just won't go away. "Sorry about the divorce, Tron lightcycle sculpture, guess you can use the guest room for another day. Yes, as a matter of fact, I do remember that time we spit a whole keg between us, and thanks for telling that story in front of my kids."

Here's the new logo for a game that seems to be called "U7". Bet that'll be fun, right?

lol ob1 meat u @ u7 booth asap k

Of course, by this time Gatzby was getting nervous. It was late afternoon, and he still didn't have any Duke Nukem details. He certainly couldn't return to HQ empty handed. But, the booth! The booth was still nuts!

All those people, and none of them were moving. Gatzby knew that if he wanted to get in there, he'd need some serious help. He'd need a team of very special people to get that exclusive. Thankfully, any nerd-heavy convention is always chock full of special.

This fellow was ready to kick butt and paint the kitchen, and he was alllll out of kitchen.

Someone call heaven, because an angel's missing! And last time that happened it was because Lucifer was leading a rebellion. If that's started up again we really should be made aware.

With his team now assembled, Gatzby swiped a time machine and zipped back to 1955, well before before the expo even existed. What a great plan, right? Surely, if there wasn't any PAX, there'd be no chance of there being any li-

Aw, CRAP! Well, that's what happens when you try to outsmart a bunch of people used to using video game logic on everything. However the time-shift did allow for present-Gatzby to now already be in line when past-Gatzby arrived at PAX to write yesterday's post, so the Gatzs just did what all those paradox-fearing gamers could never do, and gave himself cuts! While Security fought to close the unholy rip in time, Gatzby ran and got this, the very very first screenshot from Duke Nukem Forever. Are you ready? Are you ready?

Yeah, that's exactly the same sentence of profanity we yelled at him too. Jerkface isn't ever getting near a company credit card again.

Be sure to read Part One of Gatzby's PAX coverage. And remember: if you post a nice comment in this thread, the mods will owe you a favor!
