Is Giant Bomb going to PAX Australia? - UPDATE: No.

Unfortunately I couldn't make it to the get together on Friday, by the time it was to head over I was soaked with rain and was pretty knackered. The sucky part is I missed out on catching you all and now I find out I've missed CaH! I think I street passed you Hellerphant, if your mii is Hellaphant

Great to meet you all last night had a rad time chatting about Ryan, the bomb crew and just stuff in general.

Also, don't think I've ever laughed as hard as during that CAH game everything put down was GOLD!

PS I'm the one who won so I guess that makes me the most horrible?

@wezmon said:

It's me, I'm the duder going through Borderlands 2, in between every other damn thing from the current Steam sale, but I'm doing so on PC. >_<

If there are more CAH games to be horrible at (horribly awesome) I am so in.

@jondan:

Hey duder, another PC borderlands 2 guy here then if it helps. My steam name should be the same as my username here

Yeah, last night was hella fun y'all. Great place and a surprisingly chatty crowd, my mate was going on about how it was just all going to be a bunch of quiet nerds so it was great to prove him wrong.

From the awesome shipwreck Ryan tribute, talking about quick looks, to the awesome CAH game at the end, that was a Giant Bomb night through and through. Oddly satisfying to talk about inside jokes that people finally get! Thanks to hellarphant for organising. I was the short Asian guy with the GB hoodie that wasn't Norman Chan lol...

@audiobusting: Check out the oculus rift if you have time, that was pretty cool. Rayman Legends and The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot were fun. If you're into splinter cell they have that playable there, and the popcultcha stand are selling some collectibles for fairly cheap compared to RRP, such as the Portal gun.

I'm heading in to Pax today thanks to the Most Awesome Duder, @alexeik. If any GB people want to meet up, give me a holler on twitter @Wezmon73.

My twitter is Paul_Blues (rare tweeter here too) if people want to meet. My friend who was meant to come along can't make it today so I won't be doing much

I have a twitter but think I've tweeted like 3 since I created it haha, parad0xian is my twitter. Let me know if there's a CAH game on today and I'm in!

Hey guys, I was the one with the dumb fringe and the black Obey shirt (because Ryan would have wanted me to "put the glasses on"). Had a great night, so hats off to @hellerphant and the rest of you.

I'm similarly scarce on social media, but I'm Gutterkisser on Twitter, Steam, XBL, Origin, etc etc.

Anyone got much planned for the rest of the weekend? I'm lazily making my way back there now, and I'm meant to be going to the after party at the Geddes Lounge tonight but we'll see..

Hey Duders!

How nuts was PAX! (you know me, I do speak in exclamation marks).

On twitter I'm @Lucian_Ventris and Steam my profile is http://steamcommunity.com/id/lucianventris/ , because I am uninventive.

It was awesome to meet you all and we should do it again.

Okay, I'd love to organise a catch up in, say, a months time in Melbourne. I'll bring CAH for sure. Should I make another thread in off topic, or just use this one?

Edit: I'll be double fistin' too! ;-)

Gah, you're all in Melbourne! I wanna double fist too :(

FYI my steam profile for anyone interested in adding me is:

http://steamcommunity.com/id/parad0xian

I too am not very inventive haha

Haha Wezmon, saw you again today rocking the CAH table, surely you must've seen every card combination by now eh? :p I'd be down for another one sometime. Go ahead and make a new thread in the Australia page to catch more people's eye, and who knows, could up as a semi regular GB duder meet up.

Also, to the other duder on Sunday playing Joust near the end of the day and teaming up with me in it, I salute you sir. <>

Didn't make it sorry guys, I managed to injure my shoulder and by the time we got back to the apartment all I could manage was to pop some pain pills and pass out.

Guys this was simply awesome! Thank you all so much for coming, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you all.

I'll create a new thread tomorrow with the photos and we can share contact details. For Melbourne duders, I spoke to The Cure manager last night, more than happy for us to have that lovely upstairs room for some classy catch up/ board game nights whenever we like, so that's definitely on the cards.

@wezmon we must catch up soon! Bring the wife round, have a few drinks and play some sweet games.

Also Borderlands 2 guys on PC.....I'M SO IN FOR THAT!

@captpaulblues that sure is me! Shame we didn't actually meet face to face.

Me 3, played the hell out of borderlands 1 and not a whole lot of 2 so count me the heck in

@hellerphant: even street passed you twice! Was a shame I didn't get to meet you or the other duders this weekend, but I'm in Melb so I'm always up for get togethers. Also some PC BL2

It was great to meet everyone, thanks @hellerphant for organising!

Now I feel really dumb for leaving early and not playing CAH with you guys. @wezmon, that card deck is a thing of beauty. Next time for sure, it'd be worth making another trip down to Melbourne. I must say, at the risk of angering fellow Sydneysiders, Melbourne is Awesome!

Let's also try to do a meet up in Sydney, it'd be great to catch up again and meet some more duders.

Thanks again guys, let's keep this rolling.

Samurai Pizza Cats on Famicom.....PAXA will never be forgotten

I might have to get in on this Borderlands 2 revival, never had anyone to play with so it's gathering dust in my Steam library. Didn't find it very engaging solo but it deserves another look.

I take it I'm the only sucker from Canberra? Clowns to the north, jokers to the south, here I am etc etc...

Friday night was definitely one of the weekend's highlights. It's the first time I've been able to casually reference a Quick Look moment and actually have people know what the fuck I'm talking about.

For good measure: http://steamcommunity.com/id/gutterkisser

For the people I haven't added my steam is paulblues and twitter is Paul_Blues

My only real regret is that I didn't get to stay long enough to play Cards against humanity. It would have been the icing on the very delicious cake that was my PAX trip.

@abrasion: No, taller and darker, but I saw that guy as well!

My only real regret was not streetpassing the fuck out of my 3DS everywhere I walked. Seriously I think I must have missed thousands...

All I have now is several half filled puzzle panels and a handful of broken dreams.

@parad0xian: there's always next year, I street passed the hell out of PAX, I became a master at walking around crowds while checking the mii plaza. But at the end of PAX I think I had only gotten about 500 people on mine, wasn't sure if I didn't always have a good signal from the 3DS or it was just where I was walking around

Still waiting on hellerphant to upload those photos so we can better figure out who is who.

Of the names I recall meeting, Jackie, Tom, Cameron?

I'm Josh, by the way.

Sorry guys, had the Pixels team at my place to do the podcast and live streaming yesterday.

The thread will be created this afternoon - I promise!

@hellerphant: And Steven, you're Steven, right?

Hello I'm Zen

@jamakan_inc you can just call me Steve!
