Any word on whether or not The Wizard will be shown again?

I insist that this is a tradition that must be maintained.

    "He grabbed my breast!"

    Later:

    "Pfft, stupid girl doesn't even have any breasts."

    Some guy in the audience:

    "JUST HOW YOU LIKE 'EM!"

    I still say there should be a theater/room that plays all the Video Game Movies for anyone to just walk in and watch...

    Very much so, RK.

    When you've got something awesome like PAX in its first couple of years, you need to start traditions. The Wizard should surely be one of them.

    Spontanaeous comments are no longer funny when they are no longer spontaneous.

    I do, however, agree that the Wizard should be mandatory viewing.

    Is there any way there could be a room set up that runs the Bad Video Game movies? Or just the video game movies?

    It'd be awesome.

    There's a thin line seperating Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil and a couple others from the likes of House Of The Dead, Street Fighter, Alone in the Dark, Double Dragon...etc...

    But there's still a line! :P

    That movie has everything. You got Slater, Savage, the Powerglove, an arcade machine that plays Castlevania II and 500 points on Double Dragon.

    I also would love to see a room playing nothing but, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Double Dragon, and of course both Boll masterworks.

    why not post it and let the populace critique / ridicule it?

    They will be the ones doing a lot of the acting / calling out of lines, yes?

    Fred Savage isn't the one playing the video games, but I'm pretty sure we're talking about the same movie here.
