    Do we have any idea what the Bioware Presents! panel on Sunday is going to be about? Showing off progress on the new Star Wars MMO, perhaps?

    Hahaha, there's a panel called "How to Get Your Girlfriend Into Gaming".

    Wow, I'm actually excited about the panels that they have this year.

    PAX is just getting better every year. I'm so excited.

    I was driving some out-of-towner friends around, and I kept complaining about being blinded. They responded with "You see, where we come from, people tend to wear Sunglasses." I retorted with a simple "You people tend to have sun."

    I'm having trouble finding a map/floorplan of the convention centre itself with all the halls marked, so I can plan out my timings between events. Could anyone point me to one?

    Are those the WSCTC official theatre names? (wolfman, serpent, raven, walrus).

    If only there was an Iceman or Maverick theatre...

    I know the serpent theater is across the street in the annex, but I have no ideal which floor the rest of the theaters are in, I assume they're all in the main building though. I haven't seen a map of this year. If I'm remembering what people have said on here correctly, the expo hall is in the same place as last year, but it takes up the area the main theater was in last year too, and the BYOC is in the same place it was last year.

    Writing for video games panel, yummy.

    I'm going to have to devote a serious chunk of time on a day off to absorbing and reading that schedule. It's like a rubix cube of good times.

    Right click, save it to your desktop or some place, then open it then. Sounds like it's trying to open the file in your browser.

    PAX . . . why must you be so awesome? This is my first PAX so I never thought I would go to many panels . . . Unfortunately, most of the panels are very interesting. Ah well, decisions, decisions.
