Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: Penny Arcade Expo 2009 photo

Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin' is Destructoid's surreal comedy series about videogames and gamer culture. It's pretty good.

At this year's Penny Arcade Expo, Ash and I had a panel, and that was fun. During the panel, we got Rey Gutierrez to help us film an episode of Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin' using the audience as extras.

You can watch that episode here.

I'll say it now, just because I'm not sure if I said it anywhere else; the panel, and PAX 2009 in general, were both incredibly fun and the people we met were really cool. To be able to commemorate that weekend through an episode of our show is about as masturbatory as anything you can imagine, but we hope you enjoy the show anyway.

As always, you can discuss the show in the forums.

Been waiting for this episode. Did not disappoint. I'm not just saying that because I'm in that sweet shot at 1:09 either. :P

Oh wow, that was REALLY well done. Much better than I thought it would when I was at the panel. Congrats Rev, Ashley, R3y, and of course orangefishy

You say "masturbatory" like that's a bad thing...

The deadpan straight-face after finishing the pitch was the best. When I saw Ashley's arm rising in the face of an ovation, I was so hoping for a Nazi salute!

You guys keep getting better.

@RogueEpidemic, it's funny because of the serious read of the ridiculous story idea, and crowned by the fist pump to the air at the standing ovation.

Just... Comic Gold.

I think this is the first HAWP I didn't find funny at all. Pretty much every other episode is hysterical to me, so I feel like I'm really missing something here.

I almost wish I'd watched more HAWP before this. 100% meh.

Sorry Ash, I just think your stuff is kinda droll. And your brother is a smug elitist.

I thinks it's almost guaranteed that the people finding this funny are only doing so because they're in it.

Some of you people really don't know humor.

Hey, I'm in this! Well, my head. Ok, just my hat.

This came together nicely. Good job on the editing.
