    Felicia Day. Tell your friends.

    I mean, not that I don't think she is somewhat attractive but... really? I love Dr. Horrible, and I think the Guild is funny, but it's not like Summer Glau or something...

    Didn't you learn anything from the Morgan Webb phenomenon? Take any reasonably attractive girl, leverage any 'geeky' qualities about her, and you'll create a legion of drooling rabid fanboys overnight.

    Not that I have anything against either the idols or the fans, it's just a really predictable pattern.

    Are there any descriptions of the panels or is it just five words describing what could be anything?

    Why you gotta be negative, nancy?

    It's Felicia Day.

    She has red hair.

    Yeah, traditionally the concerts have been in the order listed, so I'd say that's how it'll go.

    Curse you Game Music & Audio! Why must you be during the PA Strip panel? Without the PA panel how will I know the lore behind bacon burgers and still-beating hearts?

    Hey all,

    Just wanted to draw a little attention to Sunday at 2:30pm. I'm doing a new version of my big speech and this year I'm focussing on the positive. What's good about games, why parents should use them to help raise kids and how to spread the good gaming word to the people who need to hear it most.

    PAX is my favorite speech, each year, and I'm looking forward to bringing the good word to PAX.

    I'm not trying to be negative. I'm just trying to figure out why she is the fanboy flavor of the month. I think she's cute, and talented. I see your point though. One of them is at PAX.

    Let's see.

    Nerdiness

    Interweb
    ...Carry the constant Twittering...
    Multiply by mousy cuteness...
    Multiply by talents.

    Yeah. That does equal to positive and flavor.

    As a gamer dad myself, your panel was one of the few on my shortlist for "must sees" before the schedule even came out.


    I'll be missing the Spore talk to hear it!

    Now just need an updated pax layout jpeg or something to completely plan everything :D

    Or is the June 26th Exhibition Hall layout the best we get until PAX?

    I believe--don't quote me on that--there was one that was a bit more updated than that. Like in Mid-To-Late July, I think?

    There is. I can't find a link to it ATM, but I figure somebody will post it.

    We are all Goofus-Heads.

    It's on the main page (The 07/29 posting.) So it may be possible that it's the SAME one on the June 26th posting and it is updated without it saying it is the Final.

    My girlfriend has red hair, freckles, and loves Soul Calibur, Resident Evil, God of War, and the PixelJunk library with the fire of a thousand burning suns.

    She also makes pie. Mmm, pie.

    I think I'll convince her to stay home. Rare creatures, these redheaded gamer girls. You must hunt them carefully, and hoard them if you can.

    Hmm, I'm a little surprised about the omission of the 'video game jeopardy' event. The arrangement of the times for the handheld lounge events makes me a little wary about if there will be traditional handheld tournaments - I wasn't too big a fan of the button challenge system last year.
