    I'm not sure I'd use the term "panel".

    I think "Experience" might be more appropriate. The Acquisitions, Inc. Experience. Or "exhibition".

    Or maybe I'll simply use the most appropriate word associated with AI: MANDATORY. xD

    Rooster Teeth and Double Fine Adventure at the same time? God damnit...

    Also I noticed the Friday Night Concert is only 8:30 PM - 9:30 PM while the Saturday Night Concert is 8:30 PM - 1:30 AM. I'm guessing this is a mistake?

    I'd like to take this opportunity to say that the PAX site redesign is fucking awesome. The schedule page is just glorious.

    I like the site design, but I miss the old printable schedule. It was easier for me to see what was happening in the theaters at a glance with that personally. (Grid format is my friend.)

    and now that the schedule has been released is there a time frame on when the PAX Map guide will be released?

    Probably 1-2 weeks. That's just an educated guess though.

    Bring your best card ideas and pitch them to all eight writers and co-creators of Cards Against Humanity. The best card ideas will make it into the next expansion. The worst card ideas will be mercilessly ridiculed. PLEASE NOTE: Utilikilts will not be permitted in the auditorium.

    Are they that big of a problem?

    If Utilikilts were actually banned they'd have a problem with there being enough Enforcers to run the room.

    In Summary: You're taking the Cards Against Humanity guys seriously?

    Well we already have the "Jim Darkmagic Experience" so I guess that word is already accounted for.

    I'm guessing the concert schedule hasn't been posted yet, or am I just blind?

    Ah, there we go... missed the single entries for Friday and Saturday night concerts in the schedule. Silly me was expecting them to be broken up by band. Thanks.

    The actual guidebook app is always available. As far as the PAX Prime 2012 module for guidebook goes, I saw on the official twitter "one to two weeks".

    Woot! I have already picked out the main panels I want to see.

    Friday
    10:30 AM -Story Time with Ted Price (aka the PAX Prime Keynote!)
    11:30AM - Penny Arcade Q&A
    6:00PM -Represent! Gayming's Past, Present and Future
    8:30PM - Friday Night Concerts
    Saturday
    12:00PM -Breaking Into the Games Industry
    6:30PM -Your Careening Career: Starting Small and Making it BIG in the Gaming Industry
    8:30PM -Saturday Night Concerts
    Sunday
    1:30PM -Ratchet & Clank 10th Anniversary Celebration
    4:00PM -Inside Gearbox Software

    I clearly will probably only see one of the breaking into the industry panels but I am not sure which one. I probably won't see both concerts but I will at least see one of them. The only one I can see being hard to get to would be the Ratchet & Clank 10th Anniversary Celebration since it's a little too close to the Gearbox panel and that one is definitely the one I will pick over the other.

    You're probably missing R+C. The Gearbox panel always fills up stupidly early. The one at East filled out about an hour and a half before the panel was scheduled to start (unfortunately the panel started almost an hour late, which meant I waited a really goddamn long time for it).

    Is it PAX <insert nearest future PAX here> yet?

    Yeah, I am sure I will miss the R&C panel since it's not too far off in time. Gearbox wins out for me though since I don't plan on missing that one. I plan on seeing the key note at least and that is hosted by the Insomniac Games CEO, Ted Price. That's something.

    So how early do you guys recommend to line up for Gearbox? I was originally thinking 2 hours prior, maybe 3? It's the first event I plan on attending that day.

    I have to admit that this is my 4th PAX and will be my first keynote/QA. Then Roosterteeth after. I'm going to have expo hall withdrawals. Nothing like walking the hall early Friday morning.

    What time do they start seating people for the Keynote?

    It's not listed on the official schedule, but I'd bet that there will be one. Probably Sunday, early to mid afternoon.

    yay!! they moved the RPG game are awesome and the fight scene one further apart. Now if I can manage to get over to the red lion in under half an hour and get in line I can see both of them :):):):) . Also a question for anyone that's been to PAX before. When do they normally stop playing with the schedule? Since this is my first PAX im trying to plan out all the panels I wanna see so im printing out the schedule and would prefer not to do it say 10 more times between now and when its final.

    It's honestly never final. They can and have changed things during pax, in rare circumstances. I would say that about 1 week prior to pax, it's pretty damned close to final... but it's never 100%. Things can always come up last minute that could cause a schedule change. I'm only pointing this out in case someone says "by pax it is final" ;).

    Do they clear the room between panels? I'm asking because I'm trying to estimate how early I'm going to have to show up for the Kojima panel, and I noticed that it's taking place about an hour after the PA "Make a Strip!" panel. I'd really prefer not to have to attend that panel too (I don't want to spend that much time watching panels, nor take the spot of someone who really wants to see it), but if it's the only way to see kojima...
