    Really enjoyed last years panel. Seems this year we won't be getting it according to Jeff's formspring.

    He said no live stream, didn't he? Sounds like a video might be coming even if he doesn't quite know for sure yet.

    I actually haven't watched the last few panels they've done, so I guess I'm okay with it.

    All he said was this

    I can now say with authority that we will not be live streaming the panel. The room we're in isn't set up to allow it.

    Video of it is certainly still a possibility.

    Not sure when/if an archived version will run. Drew's heading out on vacation, which means we may be completely without video dudes for a bit!

    Was what had me worried. If they don't live stream it, and they don't archive it... well we don't get it.

    We get videos of the Panel every year don't we? Or at least I recall a recorded audio version.

    @Barrock: Drew will still be there with them, he means drew is going away after Pax. If anything the video might just be delayed with no one in the office to edit it etc.

    I really hope so. I'll miss out on hearing someone ask about an Endurance Run if we don't get it archived.

    Not that bummed out by it. I usually don't enjoy panel videos so this isn't the end of the world for me at least.

    When I went to buy a pass and saw that Saturday was sold out, missing the panel was literally the only reason why I was bummed.

    Yeah, sucks that their will be no stream this time, and I hope Jeffs comment was just badly worded. I would hate to not get to see it at all!

    They never live stream it because they have said (and it makes sense to me) that it would undermine the act of actually going.

    I'm sure they'll probably archive it if they actually are able to record it.

    Drew is definitely still there and will be through the weekend as far as I know. I heard some crazy shit from John Drake about this year's panel so I am sure they will at least try to get some video of it. At least I will be able to get them their beer!

    Wait... really?

    Jeff's last four or five questions on Formspring has been about this. It seems like they're just not sure.

    I'm more bummed about not being able to see the RB judge night.

    There has to be someone in the audience recording this panel. It's way too important now, since the merging with Gamespot lately.

    When I ran into them at the con they said the panel will be online, still wish there was a twitch feed for it though.

    I hope this goes up. I went to the panel but the audio was so bad in the back of the theater I ended up leaving 15 minutes in because I couldn't hear anything.

    That's unfortunate. If you go again next year arriving 2 hours early for this panel specifically will usually guarentee you a good seat (I say usually because I was one of the first 4 people to show up to wait for the GB panel but ended up almost in the back of the theater when we went in because of how the enforcers divided people up, which overall didn't make much sense.)

    Also, would livestreaming a panel inside the convention center even be possible? The Wifi is sooooooo bad, though I guess they would use one of the other networks like the media one.

    I hope that it won't be premium members only.

    In years past they broken it into parts for non-premium and then posted it in full for premiums.
