Phantasy Star fun at PAX 2009!

[RubyEclipse]

Hey everyone,

As you've probably seen, SEGA has been stepping up the community efforts lately, and we've had a lot of presence at shows like NY / SD Comic Con, last week's Toronto Fan Expo, and most recently, up in Seattle at the 2009 Penny Arcade Expo!

Today we met with S-T-H, saw a number of awesome cosplayers, and a met a whole lot of Phantasy Star fans who are looking forward to Zero's release here in the states on November 10th. I figured you guys might enjoy the pics, so here are just a few.

Scary as hell, but still cool. If you haven't seen Donnie Darko yet, you need to.

Why can't they have these type of conventions on the east coast? we have convention centers here too :(

[Waki Miko Syamemaru!]

Because the East Coast apparently isn't "cool" enough for them there West Coast folks. You know they got all the fancy beaches and that big city thats dedicated to nothin but gambling, gettin VD, and boozin. Nope. Us East Coast folk get....stuff. No fun conventions for us.
