The PAX Prime Panel Plan

If you're heading to Seattle this weekend and want to know where you can find us, then I HAVE GOT A POST FOR YOU.

Time is weird. I sort of feel like PAX East just happened. I flew into Boston directly from an event in Rome, so I was already jetlagged all to hell and the entire show felt like some kind of weird blur of loud noises. At some point I sang a song by The Main Drag in front of a room full of people, a move that I, at least, found hilarious. Again, I hadn't slept too much.

We also put on a big ol' panel where we... did what we do. We talked into microphones. Here, relive the Boston glory right here:

Tomorrow we're heading up to Seattle to put on another panel! It's going to be in the PEGASUS THEATRE on FRIDAY at 9:00PM! You should be there! We'll be there! Ryan has a dumb/great idea or two planned! Brad Shoemaker will be there! Vinny "Bust Downs" Caravella will be IN THE BUILDING! Drew Scanlon! It'll be fun.

But that's not all?

I will be appearing on a panel on SATURDAY at 3PM in the SERPENT theatre. It's titled "Stuff Your Criticism, I Want A Review! Part Two." I didn't see the first installment, but I'm hoping that this is the dark middle chapter in the I Want A Review! trilogy.

Patrick will show up on FRIDAY at 11:30AM in the KRAKEN theatre on a panel where Community Managers and PR people are going to bring it with the hands and get into a big fist-fight. My money's on Wes Phillips, but Jeff Green fights dirty so it's sort of a toss-up.

Ryan is crashing the Cards Against Humanity panel on SATURDAY at 9:30PM in UNICORN. Be sure to show up in your utilikilt and claim to know everything about Chicago pizza, Max Temkin loves that.

We will, of course, also be running around the show to see stuff and generally hang around, so if for some reason you can't make it to our panel (you should make it to our panel), we'll be around! Say hi! See you there!

I stumbled into Ryan and Dave Lang (trying to crash the photo in the middle with the hat) and some dudes (Sorry for the dudes who's names I don't know) outside the Hotel they were all at yesterday. Here's a picture.

Thanks duders! I managed to snag the very best Cards Against Humanity shirt of them all, too. Unfortunately gamers are too antisocial to take pictures for the most part so I probably won't win the contest, much less find the question card relating to Chinese food. The panel was fucking great yesterday. I hope they come back next year, this is the only thing I really found worth waiting 1.5 hours waiting in line for.

The CAH contest worked something like this: You get either an answer or a question shirt, and you find other random people at PAX and make a funny combo and take a picture, tag it on twitter and possibly win a prize.

Why hasn't anything been posted from PAX? I was expecting some interviews and maybe some video of some of the indie games available to be played. More importantly, the Giant Bomb panel will be posted at some time, right?

@Nerolus: Yea, while plenty of people thought "A 55-gallon drum of lube." was funny, very few wanted to stand next to my shirt.

@misfeasor: I'm sure it will. Always does. They just don't post any new content on the weekends.

The panel will eventually go up since Drew was filming it. I don't know if they interviewed people, but since they had panels that ended at 10:30 PM, followed by Dick's, they might have been too busy to put things up. Also, Brad and Patrick, possibly others, were flying back early today, instead of doing the full 3 days.

Since this is more of a fan-based event than industry driven, I don't blame them for enjoying themselves before putting out any content.

@George_Hukas: The CAH panel would ridicule the dumb shit fans suggested. Ryan called some guy "skrillex" during that panel. It was great.
