Come To Our PAX Panel(s)!

We're in Boston... you're in Boston... let's do something!

Did we mention that they had a photo booth?
Did we mention that they had a photo booth?

Last night's sold-out Rock Band Night extravaganza was a beautiful mess, like it is every year. But we survived and now we're getting focused on our own panel... which will likely be an unbeautiful mess. Come watch as a slow-motion car crash unfolds in front of your very eyes! Here are the details:

The Giant Bomb PAX East panel for 2013 will happen tonight at 9PM in the Phoenix Theatre. It will feature such celebrities as Vinny "Vinny" Caravella and popular weekend columnist, Alek Navarro. We have some things planned for this panel! It should be a great time.

Saturday (that's tomorrow) will see us pop up on a couple of other panels. Ryan will appear on "404ing It: Breaking (Down) the Internet" at 7PM in the Naga Theatre. Here is that panel's description:

Too busy to keep up with all the things that make the Internet so awesome? 404ing It: Breaking (Down) The Internet is the show that does your homework for you. This monthly Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre comedy show features a panel of comedians and super nerds that break down the best the Internet has to offer: Funny photos! Amazing videos! Memes! It’s everything you love about the Internet except with none of the jerky YouTube comments or trolling 14 year-olds. For one night only, host Pat Baer (UCB Theatre) brings the show to you at PAX East, for free, with celebrity guests Ryan Davis (Giant Bomb), Eric Pope (Harmonix) and Chris Kohler (Wired).

Then, at 9:30 on Saturday, Ryan and myself will be appearing with the minds behind Cards Against Humanity for their panel, "Cards Against Humanity." Those creative jokesters really knocked it out of the park with their panel name this year. It will happen in the Wyvern Theatre! Come pitch your terrible ideas for Cards cards!

So there you have it! We'll also be around the show floor doing a little thing or two, so if you see us say hi!

Alek Navarro sounds like a fighting game character that would been in a Tekken or Virtua Fighter. Maybe even Mortal Kombat.

Name: Alek Navarro

Born: Kalifornia

Style: Karate

Blood Type: KO -

Sworn to avenge the death of his brother, Alex. Alek fights in the name of love and justice.

You made me laugh. Well done, sir!

It was streamed on Harmonix's Twitch page, but they either don't have archives, or don't choose to show archives.

I always enjoy watching the GB panels but I have to stop once they start the question section, its just way too hard to watch and cringeworthy. Its kind of the same problem I have when they take calls during livestreams but moreso.

I don't believe there's a common antonym for Schadenfreude, but that's what we're talking about. At least I hope that's what we're talking about. Otherwise you're awful. :p

Anyway, I like being reminded that being able to speak coherently is in fact challenging. It makes me respect the bomb crew more, particularly Anxious Brad.

@onan: It was amazing. 2 hours, 40 minutes and they answered every single question. Also I suspected it before, but it was confirmed during the panel: Jeff is hood as fuck.

Hope there's a meetup with the guys or just a community meetup next year.
