Holy shit, "are you having a stroke?"
I seriously laughed so hard my head hurt.

This was a great panel if it was as unplanned as Ryan said it was. Can anyone who was actually at the panel tell me if Ryan was sweating a lot because it shows up on camera real bad

Oh please. I've been more than critical of Patrick in the past, but I love the pep in his step since coming back from his honeymoon! Guy seems invigorated and I absolutely adored his Walking Dead articles. I hope he keeps this level of mojo going cause he's been killing it lately.
And whining about him talking up the PAX 10 is kinda silly since it's the only legit new and interesting thing for the guys to devote their time to at PAX in a game coverage sense (Well barring the whole Metal Gear deal.)
Give credit where credit is due mate ;)

Pats okay, but I have been an admirer of Carrie all the way back to GS days. I never saw someone with so much personal energy. It was an acquired taste for me admittedly and I didn't feel that way at first,.... but I got to really like her. She's best buried on a big crew like GS to balance her off.
edit, Jeff's public on panel honesty and stance on liking Syndicate has truly redeemed himself in my eyes..To heck with the haters, me included. That would be my attitude.....he saw something I guess I just couldn't.

@Bourbon_Warrior: I think he means the empty chair that Clint Eastwood was talking to during the RNC that was supposed to be Obama. Here.
And just like that I lost all respect for Eastwood, is he getting senile or is that the most awkward political stunt I have ever seen? The funny thing is Obama is a excellent debater and would of destroyed all those questions, I bet Eastwood is the kind of republican that blames the economy on Obama and says capturing Osama was all thanks to Bush...
The weird thing is, for the most part Eastwood is a reasonable Republican. Sure, he thinks Obama hasn't done a good a job as he should have, and that he's worsened our situation economically (which have SOME truth to tehm--although they're a bit twisted logistically). Aside from that though, Eastwood is all about gay marriage and things like that.

Jeff and the cashier that robbed him of 40 cents should fight to the death in the Lang Zone.
... while playing "Dave Lang Zone" (by Kenny Loggins) in the background:
Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity
Highway to the Dave Lang Zone
Gonna take you
Right into the Dave Lang Zone
That was such a great panel! Glad I could be there live and run up and give away 40 cents to Jeff. Good times at pax! #makeitright
I just love when Jeff makes the Eastwood joke and goes "Yeah the more you call attention to it the funnier it gets"
There is a very creepy alternate reading of this …Pats okay, but I have been an admirer of Carrie all the way back to GS days. I never saw someone with so much personal energy.

If he supports gay marriage that would make him a bad republican (in their eyes anyway). The guys a legend but they just used him as a political pawn in a terrible campaign stunt, I can't wait for the debates as I am not American the debates are some really entertaining television, I loved how Obama\Biden destroyed McCain\Palin in 2008, I just can't see the republicans getting back into The White House so soon after the Bush years killed the economy and screwed over the middle class and poor, unless people really have a short term memory. It was a depressing time in the world when the most powerful country (at the time) was fronted by the most comically stupid politician, Obama was a breath of fresh air to the rest of the world. Way off topic but oh well.
great panel, "it's super effective" had me at a totally unreasonable amount of stitches. great energy, the best sound there has been in years and the least awkward Q&A session you've ever had (admittedly a low bar for that last point ;-)) made this the best PAX GB panel ever, for my 40 cents

Gonna be totally honest and say I genuinely don't get the president t-rex joke. Dunno whether being outside of the US has anything to do with it, but yeah, can someone help me out?
Perhaps I didn't get it either but I still laughed my ass off. It was just completely ridiculous and they were so into it - if it referenced anything, I don't know.
Jeff was referencing a "speech" that actor/director Clint Eastwood gave at the Republican National Convention (its like PAX but for generally rich, white, and sometimes racist people who call themselves a political party). Eastwood spent over 10 minutes talking to an empty chair with an imaginary Barack Obama. That's why Jeff made to joke about the TRex Presidente and looked to the empty chair. And then Ryan talked about how topical it was. And then I wrote this comment essplaining it all.
Good job generalizing there.
FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!
Wait...that was Charlton Heston, oh well.
Thanks for the info everyone. Had no idea that happened, and it sounds utterly ridiculous.
To that other shit-bum in the audience who is a bum full of shit: Canada still totally has pennies. They're gone in some places, but still there in others.
SWAG.
Good show guys! Even the questions from the audience were kinda enjoyable. Well, except for a few dudes who probably shouldn´t line up for anything other than brain surgery.
Jeff was ON FIRE the whole time! Great to see such energy. But he kinda had to be, since Brad and Vinny seemed a bit sleepy.. again, great show though. I wouldn´t mind seeing another panel soon.

Why the hell do you need to know if Ryan was sweating??!
It's the only thing that gets me in the mood anymore.
That was a really great panel. Jeff was superfunny, and I was surprised at the wit Patrick displayed at the panel, he was great too.
Tip for Q&A'ers: make damn sure you are actually funny if you want to make a joke, your joke needs to be at least 10 times as funny as the jokes of the crew. It's the difference between a friend making a dumb joke and a stranger coming up to you and making a stupid joke.

There was a Fluttershy shirt in that Q&A.
SPEAK UP, WHO ARE YOU, BRONY.
Oh snap, Giant Bombers are bronys too!
Someone should photoshop Patrick into the Joker. That's who I kept thinking of from how he was dressed.
