Wil Wheaton’s 2008 PAX Schedule

Please excuse the indexing-friendly title. I hate it as much as you do, but I know there are literally fives of people on the Internets who may want to know this vital information for the coming weekend.

I’ll be at Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle this weekend. I’m not keynoting, but I am on a couple of panels, and I will have a booth, stocked with all of my books, plus my glasses and my shoes, so I have them. I don’t have a ton of stuff, though, so you should probably drop everything you’re doing and go get in line right now.

My schedule looks shockingly similar to this:

Friday

3-4PM: Signing in my booth

7-8PM: Signing in my booth

Saturday

3-4PM : Signing in my booth

6-7PM: Panel – “Is Casual Killing Core Games?” in the Raven Theater. This should be an interesting conversation. I don’t think casual is killing core gaming at all, but I’m interested to hear from people who think it is, and tell them why they’re so very very wrong.

7-8PM: Signing in my booth

Sunday

11:30-12:30: “The Wil Wheaton Panel!” in the Serpent Theater. I’m going to be honest: I don’t think a lot of people are going to come to this. There are two absolutely awesome panels at the same time, including Family Feud with Gabe and Tycho, and if the panel didn’t have my name in it, I would skip it, too. However, for those of you who will be in attendance, due to your sacred vow to never watch Family Feud, I’ll be reading from Happiest Days and Sunken Treasure, wand I’ll do a Q&A if there’s enough interest. We’ll have fun (oh yes, we’ll have fun. We always have fun, and we float, Georgie! We all FLOAT DOWN HERE!) and it will be awesome.

12:15-2PM: Signing in my booth

I reserve the right to bail on signings early if nobody’s there, and stay a little longer if that’s necessary.

Please, please, please come introduce yourself if you read my blog, especially if you’re a regular commenter. It’s pretty awesome to have faces to go with the names.

  1. Hey Wil, Thanks for taking the time to meet with folks at PAX. It was super cool of you to take the time to chat. Here’s what I mean to say yesterday when I met you, before the witty banter started and I lost my premeditated speech: My first Wil Wheaton Experience was last PAX at your keynote and I’ve been following your blog ever since. I think you are an awesome man and I admire you greatly. Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Stefanie-with-an-F

  3. Hmmm, über-creepy IT reference….but it made me laugh. I’d love to come be über-creepy fangirl at PAX, but alas and alack, no can do. I’m sure you’ll have fun anyway. ;o)
    Also, thanks Wil, for all the writing-related posts of late. I finished the first draft of a fantasy novel two months ago and am now working on my second draft. What you say about the highs and lows of writing is inspiring and encouraging, especially in helping me get past headdesk moments when the plot sickens.
    So…thanks…and metaphors be with you! (Okay, so I’ll admit, that line’s not original…but I’m definitely geek enough to use it.)

  4. Hi Wil!
    Ok – so I do some introducing. 🙂
    I read your blog for years now and would be very interested in your opinion on causal-games versus hardcore-games.
    I live in Austria and I write for an European Gaming-Site (www.gamingwelt.com). So I would love to can post a Statement from you there on Causal/Hardcore-Games.
    And of course: I love StarTrek. 🙂
    Greetings from Austria!
    Gerhard
