PAX 08 came and went, the Elders and the rest of the PG crew had a blast hanging out at the show and even had a few memorable moments. Da Boof at PAX was often a little crowded, filled with happy gamers looking at the games, toys, figures and PG swag that adorned the walls as well as a glance or two upward aimed at the tower of PG plushies that brought a little pink to gamers everywhere. Hit the jump for a full recap with pics and video included!

PAX 08 was a blur for the PG crew as da boof filled up with happy gamers as games were sold, plushies were snuggled, and PG even managed to hold a Dev Kit tourney and a panel. Aside from the normal events of PAX, PG also managed to pull a prank on some old friends, make some new friends and take a quick walk or two around the Expo Hall. Take a look at some of PG's favorite moments from PAX 08 with more to come!

Da Boof did look pretty!

This year the Pinkathon contestant had a chance at a $200 PG gift certificate, but unfortunately the PG Crew are skilled gamers and the brave contestant did not win, but he put up quite a fight.

Elder Taragan is mighty good Boom Blox player! The Pinkathon score still stands at PG-2 Gamers-0.

PG's panel "Sex in Video Games: A Comparative Study" contrasted the differences towards sex in games in Japan and in the US. Panelists included PG's own Elder Taragan and Elder Goban, President of the Japanese gaming company Bouken, Koushi Kondou, and gaygamer.net's Flynn De Marco.

The PG booth looked right at the mighty big display for Rock Band 2 and as a result the Elders caught MC Frontalot playing "Livin' At The Corner Of Dude & Catastrophe" in Rock Band:

The other band members don't have much of a stage presence compared to Front.

The Behemoth thought it would be great fun to thank us for helping redecorate their booth by running over to the PG booth and yelling, "Free Stuff, Free Stuff" to get us a nice crowd. Jumpman wanted to return the favor so he rallied the crowd as they cheer for 'Pink Godzilla' over at the Behemoth both, so we threw a few plushies over to our fans.

Everyone wants a Pink Godzilla Plushie!

Thanks Behemoth, we had a great time at dinner!

Stay tuned for more memories from PAX 08 here on the PG Blog including the rise of Jumpman!
