    Best part is when Hugh needed the blood of sacrificial virgins.

    What happens to all the hardware? Just curious. :) The computers were brand new so I guess Alienware doesn't recycle that stuff to some other dev at some other game show.

    Alienware gets the systems back and the logitech gear we used will be stored for the next show as well. Thank you to all who watched the videos and commented, and also to everyone that came by and said hi! these events are so much fun to be a part of and all of enjoying being part of the experience.

    Well I didn't think the medical badge would be more useful other than getting easy access to the elevators. I had lots of fun for only 2 days of PAX East even if it was a bit painful. BTW I didn't do any more damage to the ankle on saturday from the horse show, it just swelled up. So I am out of the wheelchair and on a single crutch now. It's still going to be another 3 weeks before I can mount back up.

    Someday I might be able to actually attend one of these shows, and it will be glorious.

    I want to see a mod where every match in NS2 starts with Wasabi's "3, 2, 1" countdown. Or just make it part of vanilla.

    The word "Naturals" behind then really brings this to the next level, as it implies that they are natural goofballs. :P

    Those were very entertaining videos.

    I especially liked how WasabiOne did his best to confirm some common stereotypes about Americans :p (THIS IS NOT MEANT AS AN INSULT, HE SEEMS LIKE A VERY NICE GUY, DON'T MISINTERPRET THIS)

    Well of course you can't have wasabi without thinking of the color green and when you think of the color green. You think of the only primary color that isn't used to make it. When you think of the only color not used to make it you think of red. When you think of red you think about the American Flag. When you think of the American Flag than you think of `Merica. When you think of `Merica you think of music. When you think of music. When you think of music you think of the song American pie and if you join that all together.
