Me and a few friends. I promise you I’m not Shopped into this image. [Photo courtesy of WaspPhoto.com]Bloody Hell. What a weekend. I’m not entirely sure I’m capable of putting it all into words, but I’ll certainly have a go. (more…)
I’ll be in Nashville, TN from Friday to Sunday attending the Geek Media Expo. Here’s my complete schedule:
Portal Party 2.0 Friday, October 26th ▪ 8:00pm – 9:30pm, Palomino + Quarter Horse + Mustang rooms Last year, we both said a lot of things that you’re going to regret. But I think we can put our differences behind us. For science. You monster. Why don’t you just keep testing with GLaDOS? Ellen McLain, voice of GLaDOS from the Portal series returns to berate Portal players just trying to survive, and maybe cake? Better gaming, better decorations, better batteries, and an awesome hangout for Portal enthusiasts.
Web Comics 101 Saturday, October 27th ▪ 7:00pm – 8:00pm, Arabian Room Learn the ins and outs of the webcomic business with a Q&A from the industry pros. Featuring Ben Paddon, Scott Sava, Brian Patterson and Ethan Nicolle.
PortsCenter – A One-Hour Look at Video Game Ports Sunday, October 28th ▪ 12:00pm – 1:00pm, Franklin Room British writer and geek humorist Ben Paddon talks about unique video game ports; games that have been converted for different systems. A blend of stand-up comedy and PowerPoint presentation.
One Brit, Many Doctors Sunday, October 28th ▪ 1:00pm – 2:00pm, Quarter Horse Room Doctor Who discussion with British expatriate and geek humorist Ben Paddon. What qualifies Ben to speak with authority on this topic? He has the right accent.
Please note that this schedule is entirely subject to change based on factors such as GMX shifting things around, or me dying. See you in Nashville!
GMX have released their event schedule, and the date and time of the PortsCenter Presentation has now been set in… well, not stone. Spreadsheet. Set in spreadsheet? Is that a thing?
But anyway. it’s taking place on Sunday at 12pm in the Franklin Room. If you’re going to be at GMX, you’ll want to be there. Oh, and here’s the rest of the schedule in case you’re interested.
So I’m appearing at enough conventions this year to merit a shiny new Upcoming Appearances widget on the sidebar. I know! I’m just as surprised as you are!
At the moment I’ll be appearing at WonderCon in Anaheim, CA next month, San Diego Comic-Con in San Diego, CA this July, and the Geek Media Expo (or GMX) in Nashville, TN all the way out in October. I’d very much like to have a panel at this year’s PAX Prime in Seattle as well, but that’s in their hands, not mine.
It’s looking increasingly likely that I’ll be on at least one or two panels at GMX, with one focusing on videogame ports (for obvious reasons). What will the other panel focus on? I don’t know! Well actually, yes, I do, but it depends on whether or not the fine folks at GMX actually want me involved in that one. Still, they suggested it, so if I don’t get onto the panel then I shall pout.
This is my life now. It’s wonderful, and a little frightening.
