We went to PAX on a mission: to show the world what happens when puny fanboys are transformed into mighty fangamers! But then we remembered that our presentational (and preparation-al) abilities hadn’t gotten any better since high school, so we ended up with this seat-of-our-pants THRILL RIDE. Gold star for effort? No? Well can we at least get our parking validated?

“Fangirls and boys, unite! Then suck it up and stop acting like fanboys — there’s work to do. Listen as we relay the decade-long sorrows and triumphs of a scrappy fanbase. Cackle at the futility of petitions, boycotts, and nerd rage; bask in the warming glow of community and the zen doctrine of “screw this we’ll do it ourselves”. Enter as a fan; leave as a warrior trapped in the doughy and misshapen body of a fan.”
