Just a quick FYI -- the Queers in Gaming panel on Friday will take place right before the LGBT PAX meetup party, so it should work out well to do a max exodus for those interested in both.
Here's the info on the panel, which takes place at 3:30pm on Saturday, September 1st:
QUEERS IN GAMING
The presence of queer content in gaming and other media has been a hot button topic recently that reflects a conflict in our wider culture. Homophobia and bullying in games are as old as online gaming, but is this a small group of Xbox Live trolls or is there a wider problem? In this panel we will discuss the homophobia encountered by gaymers and queer geeks as well as how to stand up to it by building strong LGBTQ geek communities. Presented by Queer Geek!
Panelists are Jeremy Crawford from D&D, James Portnow from Extra Credits, Ashley Cook from GFBRobot, Boris Erickson from Xbox Live and Gwen Yeh from ArenaNet.

That's right, there's going to be a Cookie Brigade Panel this year! If you're looking for something to do other than the Saturday Night concert lines, consider attending. Learn about the well-buttered machine that is the Cookie Brigade, how all the ingredients come together to bake and distribute thousands of cookies every PAX, hear death defying tales of Brigadier heroism, and more!
When: Saturday, September 1 at 10:00 PM
Where: Pegasus Theater
Come to the panel. We have cookies.
Is that Ratchet & Clank panel real?
This one sounds wicked awesome. I can't wait to get the schedule on guidebook and book mark this panel.
Pax Attendee/Enforcer:
Prime - '11 Attendee, '12 Enforcer, '13 Enforcer
East - '12 Attendee, '15 Enforcer
As far as I can tell, yes. Click the link I supplied as reference.
This brings me so much JOY...you don't even understand. Thank you!!!
We will be in the Serpent theater at 9:00pm on Friday, and will include:
Marc Watson (me) - @Marc_IRL - Customer Support Manager, Mojang AB (also a five time enforcer!)
Mike Robles - @MichaelRobles - Community Manager, Wizards of the Coast
Greg Stackhouse - @UberStack - Associate Producer, Uber Entertainment
Kris Straub - @KrisStraub - Webcomic Artist, ChainsawSuit, StarSlip
Graham Stark - @Graham_LRR - LoadingReadyRun, Producer, Actor
Mikey Neumann - @Mikeyface - Gearbox Software, Writer and Chief Creative Champion (voice of Scooter from Borderlands? Getchu one!)

If this sounds like your cup of tea, RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/469546269730008/ And please share this with your friends as well! If we pack the theater, the next PAX's show will be bigger and better! Help make nerdy comedy a PAX thing!

Just wanted to give a small update on this one.
In order to allow enough time for all speakers to participate, we've moved off Charlie Tight, Holly Conrad, and Jessica Merizan from the panel. With the number of people participating, everyone would have had less than 5 minutes to say anything! Believe me, it was not an easy decision to make as I'd really love to hear their input on filmmaking, but the remaining speakers are still very interesting. Check out the updated list on the FB event page as well as the films that everyone has worked on.
Hopefully this years panel will be success and allow for more similar panels in the future. With the amount of interest that this panel ended up generating, I'd love to split it up into two parts possibly, one that deals more with the theoreticals of filmmaking (translating the story, how to handle characters and lore, how true to stick to source material, etc) and another dealing with the practical challenges (Practical vs digital effects, effect of web television on distribution, legal relationships, etc.).

I know, right? But... but... I wanna go to all the panels.
This happens to me every year. And then, when I actually get there, I can't be made to leave the freeplay area to actually go to the panels. Doh!
You are not alone! I don't know where to start. lol!
Hotel Booked: check!
Sitter for the kids: check!
Excitement level rising: check, check and triple check!
Also, what the heck at this:
Are they that big of a problem?
I was surprised about this too. He will be with Acquisitions Inc. though!
If Utilikilts were actually banned they'd have a problem with there being enough Enforcers to run the room.
PAX Prime Preparations - [X] - Fri-Sun Pass [X] - Panel Schedule [X] - Hype [X]
They probably can't afford it.
I was hoping for another open bar like PAX East personally... oh well, maybe it's my fault they have to go F2P!
