The Penny Arcade Expo 2009 schedule
is finally live. There’s going to be a ton of panels, some awesome concerts, tournaments and a ton of things for people to do while at the Expo. There are a lot of panels on the list, but there are three really important ones we’ll highlight since we’re so bias about ourselves:
On Friday from 12:00 to 1:00PM is the "Hey Ash, Whatcha Filmin: How to make a moderately successful viral video series that confuses the hell out of people" panel. Anthony and Ashly Burch will be talking about their little Internet show as they discuss the highs and low of making the series.
At 2:30 to 3:30PM the same day will be the Destructoid panel. The panel is called "How can we make online gaming communities suck less?" and we’ll be looking at what goes into building a solid community.
And on Sunday from 4:00 to 5:00PM is the "WTF is the matter with videogames?" panel. Nick Chester loves to hear himself talk and he’ll be a guest panelist where they’ll talk about how
Rock Band is the greatest game ever created. Probably.
Overall, all of the panels look really great this year as there’s something for everyone. Also, be sure to be at PAX right as they open the doors at 10AM so you can get yourself a wristband for guaranteed entry to the concerts on Friday and Saturday night. The first 4,000 people to walk through the door will get a wristband and any remaining seats will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis.

Neither have I!
All I want to see are these three panels.
Also, epic pic. Tazar gives me extra laughs.
Can't wait for these panels.
God, I cannot wait for this shit.
I'd also love to see what's said at the "Girls and Games" discussion... so often they talk about making games "for" girls.... instead of making good games that have "female friendly" features like optional female avatars, pause features, save-anywhere features and social aspects.
Ah well... I have plans on attending next year... and given these types of expositions, I'm sure there will be yet another "girls and games" panel next year! :)
