The passion and excitement radiating from the Halo series of video games was evident everywhere you turned at PAX. From Halo-themed gamer gear worn by numerous attendees to the Bungie Store in the Exhibition Hall to Master Chief walking among the masses (which I missed, curses!) to the final round of the Omegathon where they played Halo 3, your senses were bombarded by anything and everything Halo. Yeah, I kinda liked it. Just a little bit. And by a little bit I mean I soiled my pants several times. There are only two things that could have improved my Halo experience at PAX. Those are 1. Master Chief being decked out in pink armor 2. and then having him promptly whisk me away to the deserted beaches of Zanzibar to completely and thoroughly pwn me, if you know what I mean. Wait, did that qualify as over sharing? Forget I said anything. Moving on.

The Bungie Store at PAX had so many awesome goodies. From bags to shirts to bottle openers to everything in between, you could not escape that area without a purchase. They handed out free Halo 3 pens and gum while you browsed as well. The thing I love about official Bungie products is that you know they are going to be high quality. I found a little gem (or lots of little gems actually) in the shirt bins. They had a Halo 3 shirt with the logo on the front made out of crystals. Oh yes, they had a blinged Halo 3 shirt. They must have known I was coming because I’m pretty sure they made it just for me. After I was able to breathe again (I was frozen momentarily from having Halo 3 and bling in the same place at the same time), I promptly found my size and made my first purchase of the day.
