LONG BLOG
PAX 2009 and Why I <3 Destructoid!
*WARNING: This blog is text and graphic heavy, as well as somewhat sappy story heavy*
So, I’m a little late with this and all, but I’ve got a lot on my plate. Over a month ago, some sort of gaming event/convention happened. You guys may have heard of it before . . . the Penny-Arcade Expo, otherwise known as PAX. It was something I had been wanting to go to for years, yet never got around to. Ever since last year, seeing all the blogs and pictures from the community, I just knew I had to go this year. So, with close to a year of planning, one member from my crew bailing, and another just magically deciding he wanted to go, it happened. With that, I’ll start with the “less” important part of my trip to Seattle, the actual Expo itself.

About Funktasticone of us since 3:12 AM on 05.12.2008
I'm FUNKTASTIC yo! ^_^
Now that that's out of the way, my name is Jon and I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I'm currently going to University studying Business. I have probably one of the BIGGEST collections of video games that most people will ever see, and my collection of "swag/promos/standees/collectables/soundtracks" is MASSIVE. I'm currently at around 1,500 games, of which I truly enjoy or have bought for collector's value. I also own some of the rarest collectables around.
Some of my favorite games are: Final Fantasy X, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Jet Grind Radio, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, Goldeneye, Okami, Shenmue II, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Kingdom Hearts II, The World Ends With You, Breath of Fire III, Final Fantasy VI, Perfect Dark, Bubble Bobble, Chrono Trigger, and Beyond Good & Evil.
