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

PAX

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.

If this gets liveblogged on Destructoid, my mind will get blown.

masterledz at 08/30/2008 14:38

The world will TAKE A HOLY SHIT after this blog panel.

falinter at 08/30/2008 14:39

this needs to be streamed via justin.tv or something.

as a matter of fact. the whole damn convention should be webcamed to destructoid.com for us less fortunate people who couldn't go.

AgentMOO at 08/30/2008 14:41

fappity fap fap

Niero at 08/30/2008 14:43

We'll try get something live going -- we've been having trouble with the WiFi connections at the event. Worst case we're filming it and can put up the video later tonight

AngelsDontBurn at 08/30/2008 14:44

Aww, I hope someone can record this! I can't believe imma miss it! :(

randombullseye at 08/30/2008 14:45

Less than ten minutes away, wheres the stream at?

bahss at 08/30/2008 14:46

This needs to be recorded. In full.
Or so help me god, I'll... I'll...

@randombullseye

I think they means 4 PM PST. You have three hours.

Wexx at 08/30/2008 14:49

DO WANT OMG MOST IMPORTANT EVENT OF PAX

randombullseye at 08/30/2008 14:54

Stupid time differences. Surely I'm not the only one who hates them?

SOLOMON GRUNDY HATES TIME DIFFERENCE TOO!

A New Challenger at 08/30/2008 15:00

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.

SnakeDude4Life at 08/30/2008 15:03

Bring your notepads and 3D glasses.

Niero at 08/30/2008 15:06

Its 4pm PST, so three hours from now.

@ A New Challenger -- I'm not balling, but I've never felt more successful. Any small but happy small biz owner will tell you the same :)

TurboSpaz at 08/30/2008 15:10

DO WANT

A New Challenger at 08/30/2008 15:26

@ 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

Mxyzptlk at 08/30/2008 15:33

Even if it doesn't suck, can I still be touched inappropriately?

Professor Pew at 08/30/2008 15:36

Everyone please record this :)

Technophile at 08/30/2008 15:38

I love you guys and I'm terribly proud of you. You know I'll pimp this site at every company I work for till the day I die.

....now if I could just get Nieros dick out of my mouth...

Chicken008 at 08/30/2008 15:38

SW33T!

TrailerParkJesus at 08/30/2008 16:04

Yes! video please! It doesn't have to be live, just get everything up in good quality

RICHARD BLOCKER at 08/30/2008 16:04

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.

Sharpless at 08/30/2008 16:13

Video tape this. So help me, you better video tape this. I'm not kidding. There will be rape if you don't or, if you prefer, rape if you do. VIDEO. TAPE.

Peronthious at 08/30/2008 16:29

better yet, live stream it

Bioautographical at 08/30/2008 16:40

Not-Sucking Protip #524: Don't hire Kotaku writers.

SnakeDude4Life at 08/30/2008 16:44

@A New Challenger

Believe.

the Golden Avatar at 08/30/2008 16:48

I'll be taping some of it. Probably not the whole thing, though.

Alexradl at 08/30/2008 16:52

I'll be there in spirit. I want some rape. Please?

Infinite Obscurity at 08/30/2008 17:05

If only I could be there. Walruses and Destructoid are two of my favorite things.

Requeim at 08/30/2008 17:21

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?

TrailerParkJesus at 08/30/2008 17:22

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

welkstar at 08/30/2008 17:24

Record this PLEASE!!!!!!!

Brad Rice at 08/30/2008 17:28

Please do a video, Niero.

CWal37 at 08/30/2008 17:29

This is relevant to my interests.

MechaMonkey at 08/30/2008 17:36

Will this be available on HD-DVD after the conference?

Daxelman at 08/30/2008 17:39

YOU BETTER FUCKING TALK ABOUT HELLO FUCKING KITTY ON-FUCKING-LINE!

Gameboi at 08/30/2008 18:25

My loins ache for a live video feed of this.. Oh the agony!

randombullseye at 08/30/2008 18:57

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?

Butmac at 08/30/2008 20:30

Great panel Gentlemen and Lady

LostCrichton was eye candy for the masses

Niero at 08/30/2008 21:41

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 :)

omar at 08/30/2008 22:02

Who won the contest for the phone?

scorpius at 08/30/2008 22:13

I wonder who won the phone...

randombullseye at 08/30/2008 23:11

@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.

ace of knaves at 08/30/2008 23:20

I'm giddy with anticipation!

Clockwork-Zombie at 08/31/2008 00:11

After reading naia-the-gamer's livebloging of this I am ready and waiting to splooge over this.

the_real_one at 08/31/2008 09:17

dang it i will b busy during that time.
