NYCC 2010: Fans of The Escapist Bring Us Cake

We love all members of The Escapist community, but we love these four guys just a little bit extra.

One of the things we here at The Escapist really enjoy about going to shows and conventions is the opportunity to meet fans of the site. Communicating via email, PM, or IRC just isn't the same as actually getting to talk with someone face to face. I spent a fair amount of my time at New York Comic Con just talking games with Escapists who stopped by our booth, and I genuinely enjoyed every minute of it.

But none of the folks I talked to were nearly as awesome as these guys, because these guys brought us cake. Not just any cake, either. Portal cake.

I have absolutely no idea how Jagade Eaddy-Boykin (Xspyhunter24), Luke Barry (dc.Justinian), Galen Riordan (I Resurection I), and Cody Dunston-Jones (chromewarriorXIII) managed to get this delicious confection through the incredibly packed halls of New York Comic Con in one piece, but I'm guessing it involved some kind of technology from Aperture Science. It was an extremely kind and fantastic thing to do, and all of us who attended Comic Con wanted to say thank you. You guys rock most mightily.

Let this be a lesson to you all. If you want to be featured in a news story on The Escapist, you should bring us food. Yeah, we're easy like that.

I kid, I kid. I wish somebody would bring me cake.

 

[Vladamir69]

I was there when it happened i was right behind them in line to get in. I also bought some shirts yay!

 

[Charli]

Mario cookies work for ya?

 

[ConnorCool]

I hope they brought enough for all of us.

Chok-lit Cayke!

mmmm..cake

 

[Aurora219]

That's alright, I'd rather have an awesome cake than have a newspost about me.

Sorry Escapist! I guess I'm not a team player!

You guys do realize that the next con you attend, you're going to be flooded with cakes and pizza? Cakes from those who want to make an effort; pizza from those who just want a mention. Sounds good at the beginning, but I bet you get tired of it real quick.

 

[DaxStrife]

Heh, cute. One time a friend of mine made a Companion Cube cake for his fiance's birthday. Structurally unsound after the first slice was made, but romantically awesome at the same time.

That reminds me, I still owe "Angry" Joe Vargas a pizza the next time he's at a convention near me...

I just hope it is not fish cake.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

I just hope it is not fish cake.

Nope it was devils food cake with shredded coconut mixed into the chocolate frosting (although I was tempted to use fish-shaped crackers and rhubarb). It was really fun to make.

I hope you guys enjoyed the cake as much as we enjoyed making it for you. Maybe we'll see you next year if you're at Comic-Con again.

And what?s your policy on spacecake?

It?s funny because my wife & I brought cake but we didn?t think it would?ve been a good idea to start handing it out.
We probably would?ve ended up on more than just an Escapist News story.

We settled on buying a couple of tshirts from you guys.

 

[Jumplion]

I anticipate some pastries being delivered to your headquarters very soon...

Cool story bros! Wish I had a piece of that pie cake, looks delicious.

 

[Donojosh]

That actually looks like a really tasty cake (mmm...Black Forest)

Were you dressed as Link and Zelda? If so, check back in a bit...

No, why? Did someone bring you spacecake dressed as Link & Zelda?
I think I would trust Link & Zelda... Trust them enough to not dose it with something stronger.

I <3 these guys!

(and yes. the cake was just as tasty as it looked.)

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Damn, if this was how to win over you guys at the Booth, I would've done more than just talk to you guys! haha
