Hi everyone!

If you want to meet some of the people behind Sins we'll be hanging out at the Stardock booth to talk about Sins and what's in store for the future

We also have some very limited Sins goodies, so first come, first serve!

See you there!
Blair

Good luck at the conference.  Will there be a Sins-2 or are you guys planning an expansion?  Anyway, I hope you guys will decide to allow Galaxy-Forge-made custom map auto-downloading for online Sins games.

PAX stands for Penny Arcade Expo, basically another big gaming convention in Seattle, Washington.

Special guest?

 

Kinda cool... though a bit scary.

 

Still, she's psitabolous!

 

Pic lifted from this Kotaku thread.

 

Psionics work through they eyes, I guess.

Scary.......

 

If the fabric just wasn't so shiny and the was darker it'd look more picturistic, and the smiling doesn't help me feel any better.

Now that you've got Vader on your side, get him to strangle the stormtrooper.

Haha, go Blair Proving that regular humans are better than those trooper clones!

Sucks about some of the bottom 10. Someone stole your pen? What the hell?

"I got Ironclad's PEN!"

"How?"

"I stole it..."

By free games you mean Sins?

Blair, Josie and I were in a circle signing the last of the entrenchment posters. The crowd was getting pretty tight around us and when Stardock came with the free Sins Games it was complete chaos. Hands were grabbing everywhere. The games were 'tossed' into the crowd. People were tackling each other as the boxes bounced around over their heads like pinballs. There were nearly 10 hands on the box that landed beside me - even though one guy had it close to his chest. The top was all crushed in...haha.   I think next time we'll have a safe draw.

Hahaha, that's awesome. Most of us would've gotten a sick and twisted satisfaction from seeing everyone trying to grab those things, though.

But do something more fun next time. Like have people run a maze. Or a scavenger hunt Imagine a scavenger hunt in that convention center...

Good thing it was banned.. no self respecting person would want to own an Xbox for fear of it being associated with that amount of stupidity

Thanks for the link, though
