Do you have a credible or un-credible source for the Peter Moore rumor?

EDIT: Never mind. You're PAX security. You count as a source.

What about the diggnation guys? It would be awesome if they did a show at PAX.

Did they mention that they might come in a podcast or something? I was not aware of diggnation but I am going to listen to a few of their recent podcasts. I enjoyed watching Rose on the Screen Savers on the old G4.

HolyHesus

The Geek. He is PA forum godly.

Garthor

There's a rumor that Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade will be there.

ctishman

I kinda sorta recall seeing Bram Cohen there in '04, I think. That may have been my imagination, though.

Man I heard Khoo might be with them as well.

mentok1982

These are all good...but I am looking for people that have said they are going to be there, or that someone knows will be there.

I hope Jess "The Baroness" Chobot will be there. Unlike most nerds I actually have the balls to talk to hot women and celebrities.

It's possible. He lives (or lived) up here (there).

Chris has a bad heroin problem and knows too many connections there.

I am not absolutely sure, but I think he may BE mr. Avid X, considering his handle is Avid.

I mean, he could just be a truly huge fan of his, but I am going to go out on a limb and say that this could very well be the guy. Unconfirmed until he himself says he is. Just getting my theory out there.

EDIT: Plus, he said he was in the IRC channel.

I read the rest of his forum posts. He is Avid X.

GodfatherX

i can confirm that chris "avid X", as well as myself "godfatherx" will be at pax, we will be staying with esko from gamerbabble and maybe jvb from podtacular

we are still making plans for what events we want to hit up, especially the 23rd, we have to sit down and schedule everything [arriving times ect]

TheSnowiestWhale

What is this "might" you speak of? I will certainly be attending the Penny Arcade Exposition! I would fear for my life if I didn't. I'll be staying in a room with Accalon and a boatload of other people.

Avid

Lol.. guys cmon.. my user name is avid... im talking about myself ... Its a joke.. im not famous..

If you have fans (i.e. people who send you, what could be considered fan mail) you are a "famous Internet" person in my book. I for example, help run GPUReview.com, and people enjoy my news posts, but I do not receive "fan" mail.

I will add all three of you to the list. Do you have "real" names that I can list?

EDIT:

Never mind about the "real" names thing. I found everything I need except for Esko's last name.
