For months, Patrick Klepek has valiantly struggled to defend the world against the nefarious Mario Maker stages created by Dan "Dirt" Ryckert. The Ryckoning? Defeated. The Klepocalypse? Destroyed. But The Armageddan? Patrick couldn't beat that one, and lost his facial hair because of it. Now, Patrick wants his revenge. Live at PAX East, Dan and Patrick will face off in a series of never-before-seen Mario Maker stages created by a series of surprise guests. Whoever wins, Mario dies.

Is this all on the PAX Twitch?

I added links to which Twitch/PAX channel the panels will be streamed.

@aesthetic_noise: Nice!

Damn, is Mario Maker not being streamed?

Brad will not be at the PAX panel, but Drew will

@jonny_anonymous: Patrick said on twitter he didn't think it would be streamed but he was working with people to get it filmed

Thanks for the heads up. I copied the info straight from the PAX site so I missed that!

Jeff will also be at the Jackbox panel right after the GB one, and youtuber extraordinaire Patrick Klepek (and Dave Lang) will be at "Let's Rank it" on Sunday.

Bummer, I was looking forward to the the most.

@aesthetic_noise: Great job, was just about to ask for something like this.

You should really add some links that shows what time it is around the world

Like this: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=The+Mario+Maker+World+Championships%3A+Klepek+vs.+Ryckert&iso=20160422T14&p1=43&ah=1

With that link you can easily see what time it is in your local area and get a countdown, see if it is over and stuff like that.

You even get a link to add to your calendar and a countdown site.

Here are the times for the rest of the events, please link them in your post:

Awesome, thanks for posting the links! I added them to the original post. BTW, your link for the 404 panel was for AM and not PM. My original message was asking for the schedule. After a few minutes of research I found all the info and decided to post it for everyone else.

Thanks, I added them too!

The Mario Maker event was a bit shit. They only did one console at a time and took turns. Plus the levels they played were intensionally the worst which aren't good in 5 minute chunks. Should've just had two consoles and did more like 10-15 minutes per level. Something more like AGDQ's Mario Maker but.

But then, what can you expect? Apparently the YouTuber set up the event.

Are Giantbomb panels usually just an hour? I thought they were normally longer.

@excast: Normally yes. But they're usually on last, this year they weren't. So they couldn't run long like they normally do.

Maaaan are there archives for this stuff?

videos of this soon? :D
