*happy dance!!!*

The schedule shows Metroid Metal playing both Friday and Saturday's concerts. Is this an error?
Edit: fixed

Error! Fix will be pushed through in a few minutes.

Kyuss · March 2012

Yes!

Morganstern · March 2012

Are the tournament schedules going up soon or will they be released closer to the show?

blAAAm!!! · March 2012

We're probably 2-3 weeks out from seeing tournament schedules. Sorry!

No Mega64 panel?

Krissta · March 2012

Woot! "How to Run a Child's Play Charity Event" and "Irrational Games: Making a Monster" have been entered into my schedule. :lol:

It will appear by the end of the day! A little error on our end.

mgriff3456 · March 2012

Awesome! The Mega64 panel is always one of my favorite things about PAX.

adias.angel · March 2012

Someone mentioned to me that there has been a spreadsheet posted in past years. Will that happen again?

I do know community members in the past have taken the website schedule and turned it into a spreadsheet and or google calendar. So many some awesome people will do that again!

ArcadiaExeter · March 2012

I now know when it really hits me that Pax east is real. ITS NOW! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Coldbrew · March 2012

I'm bummed for not seeing a Musical Guests Panel, those were always really entertaining.

Also, @heels: are the bands listed on the concerts in the order they will be playing?

septagon · March 2012

Just a heads up to those who want a good seat at the Rooster Teeth panel, they very likely will not be clearing out the main theater beforehand. Be ready!

I am a total planning addict. I was going to do just that before someone told me that usually it is posted along with the schedule. I guess I will start on that spreadsheet after all.

David Coffman · March 2012

We normally release the schedule in a grid, but frankly it's never as nice as the community created ones.

We'll probably do another spreadsheet closer to the event, though.

Indeed, but that could change.

StrangeStatic · March 2012

Im looking forward to the "Epic Games: Past, Present and Future". Last year when I went I didnt go to any of the things on the schedule. I just walked around and tried out games.

JerYnkFan · March 2012

Need to find a way to clone myself

Lady Lilybell · March 2012

"The Future of Online Games", this is the panel I can't miss.

dalaamprince · March 2012

Already spotted a bunch of panels that I won't be missing.

Question: Does anyone know if panels put on by devs/exhibitors (like Rage and Guild wars 2 last pax east) get added to the schedule later to keep them secret?

Themiscyra · March 2012

No Omegathon rounds up yet - saaaaad panda.

(I didn't expect the games to be announced yet, but I was hoping for placeholders with times...I'll have to wait to start firming up my schedule, is all.)

adias.angel · March 2012

There are two panels that overlap in the same theater:

Take Over Kotaku (For One Hour)
Manticore Theatre
Friday 2:30pm - 3:30pm

BioWare and Dragon Age
Manticore Theatre
Friday 3:00pm - 4:00pm

I am guessing one of them is in the wrong theater. Who should I report this to?

Themiscyra · March 2012

Also, is this the final schedule or are there panels yet to be added? There are some notable absences (there's usually a City of Heroes panel, women in gaming, gay gamers, etc. - surprised and glad to see a trans gamer panel and harassment in gaming panel though) and I'm not sure if no one proposed that stuff, if PAX declined some of the usual suspects, or if they just haven't been posted yet.

dalaamprince · March 2012

heels most likely, he seems to have been monitoring this thread though so I'd give him some time to respond.

wonderpug · March 2012

Is Video Game Orchestra playing Friday night or Saturday? I think the schedule lists things differently than was announced elsewhere.

One was listed as being in the wrong theatre! An update should go through within about 30 minutes.

Final schedule! No one submitted any of those sessions for PAX East this year, we might be able to sneak one in if someone comes to us with a really solid proposal.

Kikka · March 2012

Are there any other trans people that are made uncomfortable with the title of the title of the transgender issues in gaming panel?
Cause I really am, just wanting to see if it's actually a real concern or just me being touchy.

I mean I'm really glad that that is included and all, but the name just seams REALLY insensitive to me. I'm trans, not a trap, not here to trick people or be shock value, just being myself.

Themiscyra · March 2012

"It's a trap" does tend to be a rather...mean-spirited joke, to say the least (to the point where at least one other forum I'm on has banned the meme completely), but as the panelists appear to be trans gamers themselves, there might be a certain 'reclaiming' factor at work there. By addressing the meme head-on, we rob it of its power.

As a trans woman, I'm a little uncomfortable with it, but I'm not going to tell the panelists they shouldn't have chosen that title. (Assuming they did. If they're not okay with it, that's a different story.)

Since regular panel submissions are now closed, is there an address where such proposals should be sent?

Yeah, but still it's sort of hard to convey the whole reclaiming thing with just a panel title. I'll give it a chance but still it did get me feeling a bit upset when I read it, and I know it upset a few other people as well...

That's a very good point. It does tend to jump out at you - and perhaps that's precisely why it was used, and precisely why it shouldn't have been.

zerzhul · March 2012

The panelists do choose the titles, as far as I know. Maybe contact them for their reasons and to express your concern? Not that this isn't a good place for that concern either, but that would have a more direct impact methinks.

Trion · March 2012

The Retrogame Roadshow is back! Can I get in line now?

I'll start on a public Google Calendar for this, PM me if you want to help and I can add you as a contributor so we can work together on completing it. This would be super handy on smartphones where the calendars have Google integration.

Found another theater with two panels scheduled at the same time. Sorry to be the pain reporting these.

Trailers: The Final Frontier
Arachnid Theatre
Saturday 2:30pm - 3:30pm

N00dz or GTFO! Harassment in Online Gaming
Arachnid Theatre
Saturday 2:30pm - 3:30pm

Not a pain, it's good to report the grievous errors.
