    2 Whiskey Media Panels:
     
    The Giant Bomb Variety Hour
    Pegasus Theatre
    Friday 8:30pm - 10:30pm
    The world's most dangerous website returns to the Penny Arcade Expo with new thrills! New chills! New tales from the halls of videogamedom! Along with the Giant Bomb crew comes a cavalcade of new guests and old friends who will reveal their inner-most secrets and offer you a five-step program to pure game industry power! Want to make your own games? Want to purchase your own games? Interested in puppet shows? All of these topics will be covered in filthy, dirty detail.

    This is Only a Test - The Tested Podcast Goes Live!
    Serpent Theatre
    Sunday 11:30am - 1:30pm
    The sweaty nerds who deliver a heaping helping of technology news every Thursday are coming to PAX and podcasting LIVE. That's right, we're leaving the basement, grabbing an umbrella, and coming to PAX Prime. Come listen to Will Smith, Norman Chan, and Gary Whitta share their feelings on general technology news, including the latest on smartphones and tablets, upcoming game hardware (handheld, PC, living room, and smartphone/tablet), coffee tech, and science news. At the end of the show, the podcast gang will delve deep into topics they know very little about in the weekly edition of fake outtakes. Punch and pie!
    Panelists include: Gary Whitta [Podcast Sparkplug, Tested], Norman Chan [Editor, Tested], Will Smith [Editor, Tested]



    For those that are going, what are some of the panels you are planning on checking out?
     
    I am definitely going to the Mega64 Panel, but I am upset that it ends right before the Giant Bomb panel begins, I really hope it doesn't fill up too fast and I get locked out.

    The Mega64 panel is always an event, they pull some crazy shit out of the bag. Saying that, GiantBomb did some cool shit at Pax East so who knows. We'll see. Also I reckon Tested will pull some otherwise uninterested people just because of the name "Will Smith".

    If the hall and attendance are anything like last PAX Prime, you will have no problem getting in.  I'd say the room was around half full.  It was a big room.

    Definitely the GB panel after work on Friday. The Gearbox and Riot Games panels are on my list as well. Besides those three I can't think of too many. Sunday will probably be my "cram as much of the show floor into this window as possible" day and the Tested Panel will fall by the way side.
