PAX 08: ZOMG THE DESTRUCTOID PANEL IS AT 4 PM TODAY - WALRUS THEATER photo

We're nervous and excited as hell -- Destructoid is hosting a panel today at 4pm in the Penny Arcade Expo's Walrus Theater, located just a few feet away from the main hall by the back exit escalators.

The panel is hosted by Nick, Chad, Colette, Dale, and myself and will cover everything from not blogging "sucky" to when its completely appropriate to punch an old woman in the face. As I'm writing this Chad and Colette are literally crying from laughter on the sofa. They're adding some visual aids. You will be inspired and possibly scarred for life.

Destructoid is also showing something new we've been working on, so stop by and we'll make it worth your while. If it ends up sucking, we'll touch you inappropriately to make up for it. Guaranteed! Hope to see you there -- it will be proper fun.

The fact that you're hosting it from a place called The Walrus Theater is win alone.

Will there be a video or some kinda coverage, because I want to brush up on proper old lady punching etiquette.

I forget exactly how I started to give a shit about Destructoid. I think Error Macro linked here.

Also, does this mean you've made it, Niero?

Can't wait to see it, even on tape delay.

@ Niero:

That's about how you seemed at Comic Con :) You deserve every bit of it, too.

Also, oooo, secret project stuff being revealed. I'm intrigued. I bet it has something to do with the RFIDs implanted in every Destructoid T-shirt OTO

Congrats on the success Niero. I noticed it is so important that you broke the no cussin' on the front page rule. This has to be epic. Live cam would be nice but understood if it's not possible. This site has been my blackhole of wasted time at work for 2 years now, so make it worth my while, and break a fucking leg, you crazy, robot headed bastard.

In the picture, "notice" has been replaced by "GIVE A SHIT" and the "notice" has been striked out as to make it look like the original picture was altered and "GIVE A SHIT" was added afterwards

but if you remove the "GIVE A SHIT" the original would say "How to make the world notice about your blog" which doesn't quite add up

OR maybe i am just thinking to much about these things?

Oh yeah. Get everyone to chant "Also Cocks" at the end of the panel!

My question didn't get asked. Darn Giant Bomb!

Just in case Neiro or some other important person sees it.

What direction is Destructoid's future heading to? More original videos such as Hey Ash Whatcha Playing? More podcasts? What type of content do you want to feature more of?

We have video! Its on a different tapes, trying to piece it together now.

@Randombullseye - Long term: More video, more event coverage, more community stuff! We're planning a major software upgrade as well -- probably a 2009 thing. Short term: more fun :)

@Neiro

What you just done represents my favorite feature of Destructoid. Same goes for all the staff members as well. Just a staff member, especially a robot-in-chief, answering a question in a comment or even commenting on my posts, that stuff means the world of difference.

Makes me feel like I'm not just some faceless monster in an overly crowded series of tubes.

Thank you.
