Pictures from PAX, Stardock, GPG and Ironclad together

September 3, 2008 10:08:17 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

We are back from PAX and what a week it was. PAX is definitely the best computer game trade show of its kind.

While there, Stardock, Gas Powered Games, and Ironclad showed off our latest and greatest and the teams got to know each other. We had a great time!

The Gamer's Bill of Rights, Demigod, Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment, and The Political Machine got a lot of attention.

Here are some scenes from the show...

Nice pictures, thanks for posting I was right on Blair and Craig, ha!

Sounds like it was a lot of fun, wish I could've gone. There's always next year! You guys will probably be showing off the not-MoM, Ironclad will be doing Sins 2 or something (hey, we can dream ).. it'd be grand

PAX was a lot of fun. And I was surpriused, and pleased to see that my favorite gamer company was there!  Stardock, of course.  So I HAD to wander over and give a thumbs up to both Sins and Galactic Civ. 

 

I'm sure the people at PAX remember me.  I was the rather tall guy dressed head to toe in black.  I was generally followed around by guys in white armor.    I'll have to do it again next year, but, alas, they'll be expecting me.

Good times...

I have more incriminating pictures from after show hours, but I'll let MilkSama, KarmaGirl, and Yarlen decide if they want to post those.

Inconceivable! I can't speak for MilkSama or KarmaGirl, but I'm sure Yarlen won't mind

And if he does, he'll just cry a bit and it will all be okay (he's going to hurt me now isn't he..)

You were Vader?  That costume was awesome!  I was the one taking pictures of you at the booth.  Are you really that tall.  I felt like a midget.  LOL

We plan to go again next year, so we'll see you there again!

Wow Frogboy looks EVIL in that picture where is is being "in fear" (look at his eyes!)

 

And finally we get to see Yarlen (in the glasses standing under "...to bring..."?)

 

I'll afta go some year. Although if I dressed up I have no idea what I'd go as (Thrawn isn't the best idea, the blue paint would be annoying and how would I get the glowing red eyes? Plus I don't really look like Thrawn )

Thank you. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into ithat outfit.    And everytime I see pictures of it, I keep seeing things that need to be updated.

 

Yes. I am that tall.  (This is the most common question I'm asked!) I'm 6'6" in Bare feet, and with the costume on I top out at about 6'10".   Between the boots, and the helmet, they add a touch of height.

 

Of course, mthe suit is VERY hot to wear, and heavy.  Takes a lot out of me to wear it, and I'm not as young as I want to be. :/

Actually we stole Darth Vader and the storm troopers from Wizards of the Coast for a while after he mentioned how much he loved GalCiv2 and Sins Whoever they got to play Darth Vader was truly a well-chosen character though; he loomed over even me (I'm 6'4").

As far as any other pictures... I'm sure there are many instances where I do not even remember what was going on at the time. (The bean bag chair surfing sure was fun though! )

These are just crying out to be photoshopped. I see Frogboy with claws and fangs, and Karmagirl with a  cross in her hand. Evidently, from the empty plates in the background, they needed a snack before doing battle.

"I shall send you back to the nether regions, Dark Lord; but first, how about some nachos?"
