PAXATTAX!!!
Well, I’m off to PAX!
Very exciting! I’ve always wanted to go and now all my paxy dreams are coming true. I’m even doing stuff there. Check it out:
Friday, 4 to 5, I’m going to be signing things at the EA booth. We have cool posters to sign, but if you don’t want that I’ll sign anything, as long as it’s not sweaty or oozing.
Friday, 5:30pm - 6:30pm, in the Main Theater, I’m going to be on the “Spike Sneak Peeks” panel, showing something from Brütal Legend that you’ve never seen before (unless you work at EA or Double Fine). Exciting! Tempting! Salacious! Obsequious! Vainglorious! Lugubrious! Oh, sorry, I got carried away on a fun-to-say word avalanche.
And then on Saturday, 1:00pm – 2:00pm, in the Serpent Theater (what a scary name for a theater!) I’m on the “Medium is the Message: Story Matters” panel. I will be taking the counter-position, arguing against writers, but then right before the vote I’ll switch sides in a dramatic reversal and story will win the day! Unless this turns out to be a panel about the show “Medium” starring Patricia Arquette, in which case I’ll take the position that her husband is a real bummer. I hate that guy.
And then, when no one is looking, I’m going to steal my yo-yo back. Shhhh!
"Why the need to steal? We'll get you another yo-yo."
"You know, I live in seattle and have never been to Pax. ..Why do I feel like I said this before?"
"Amusingly, Patricia Arquette is married to Tom Jane now. I'm assuming that's not who you were mocking."
"I think I just let out a girl fan girl scream!! (<-not creepy at all) It just so happens that's the day we're going to be in Psychonauts costumes! I am so excited!"
"I'm guessing it WAS Tom Jane... She got divorced from Nic Cage way back in 2001!"
"D: I was THIS close to going to PAX this year but I decided not to because it would be too expensive. NO PRICE IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO SEE TIM SCHAFER BUT IT'S TOO LATE TO GET A TICKET NOW D:"
""Why the need to steal? We’ll get you another yo-yo." ... Clearly Aridi doesn't understand the significance of your yo-yo history. March on, Tim and get revenge on those dastardly hoodlums!"
"Tim, what's with all this procrastination in the US. Grow some more hair and get your amazingly sexy self down to Australia! Or I won't be very happy. >("
"Finally yo-yo justice will be served!"
""Tim, what’s with all this procrastination in the US. Grow some more hair and get your amazingly sexy self down to Australia!" - I second this motion. (Is there an Australian release date yet?)"
"You totally went down the escalator next to me after the panel (which was awesome). Had your iphone, seemed busy, so I let you go without gushing about being a big fan and whatnot. Wow, PAX was amazing yet again. Can't wait till next year."
"Totally stoked to get to see your panels at PAX. I was the girl that asked the first question at the Story Matters panel, if you remember (totally stumbled over all my words from utter excitement). Some guy jacked your nametag before me, so I had to settle with Sessler's (still awesome)."
"I wasn't at Pax, that's kinda far away from here. Hope everyone had fun. Whatever happened to that Brütal Legend vest you signed at Gamescom the other day?"
"Yeah, what DID happen to that vest? I signed it and tried to wear it (it must have been an extra-small or something) and then they whisked it away and I never saw it again!"
"Ya, it looked a little... snug fitting. Maybe one of the nice EA PR-people took it and made a run for it... or there was a holdup in the business center."
"Sounds awesome. I think I've had enough of not going to see any of the awesome stuff you've announced in person. I'm going to PAX, and no one, I repeat, no one is stopping me."
