One show ends, another begins. It's time for a Penny Arcade Q&A, live from PAX! Keep hitting refresh to hear all about what is sure to be a hilarious show.
_________________________________________________________
6:37: That's all, guys. Keep checking Gamervision for PAX updates all weekend long!
6:35: "Who has the watch right now and will we be seeing it anytime soon?" There's one in today's comic!
6:33: "If you had to spend the rest of your lives as a video game console, which console would you be and why?" Jerry: 60-gig PS3. Mike: Dreamcast.
6:31: "Can you elaborate on the creative liberties they took with the Lord of the Rings movies?" Jerry is ready to start, Mike says "We only have a few minutes left!"
6:29: Someone requests a Caramilk for his nine-months-pregnant wife. Jerry: "Oh goodness, you better give her a couple."
6:28: Some chick points out that they scheduled the keynote at the same time as the "Girls in the Industry" panel. "Sorry."
6:21: A fan wants to know how they decided to make being gamers into a career, and how they convinced their wives. "They're very understanding." "Who's paying the rent this month? The internet!"
6:20: "How do you guys make this amazing community?" "You do it!"
6:18: "Is this awesome, yes or no?" "Yes!"
6:17: Some guys talk some nonsense about The Game. Jerry: "Are you guys on the same drug?"
6:15: With Jack Thompson kinda quiet lately, do they have a new nemesis? "We're so tired of having a nemesis all the time!" But then they say they'll find someone.
6:12: Do they act like they're just normal guys interntionally, or are they really not that important? They feel like they constantly have to earn it or it will go away.
6:10: Someone keeps saying the f-word, Mike says "I want to watch the sign language lady!" The sign language lady gives everyone the finger. Only at PAX!
6:09: "Does Bogey Golf come after Precipice?" "No, if anything it'll be Paint the Line."
6:07: Someone wants to know what they're feeling onstage, being friends and stars. "TERROR!" A career in video games/comics, or working with your best friend? Oooooh, deep question to which there is no serious answer.
6:03: A young gamer and GameStop employee talks about not being able to sell M-rated games to those under 17. He wants to know what their opinions are about this, since he (like most of us) was raised on violent games and it never turned him into a serial killer. Mike: "I think that's something that every parent needs to decide." Jerry: "And if one parent won't buy it, the other certainly will."
6:00: Mike: "Whenever I see stuff that I like, I steal it."
6:00: A fan gives them a box of Caramilk.
5:58: Someone wants some advice about going into business in this industry. Jerry: "You don't want business advice from us." Then they offer: "Be too dumb to realize when you've been beat."
5:57: Does Jerry's bald head provide super powers? Mike: "Hahaha, you don't have any hair!" Jerry: "It provides me will the willpower needed to keep from coming down there and killing you."
5:56: Jerry takes out his PAX spreadsheet schedule, which apparently "looks like something a crazy person would write in shit on the wall."
5:55: You heard it: PAX East Coast, 2010, Boston. It will be earlier in the year than the west coast PAX.
5:52: Some chick wants to know that, while video games become more mainstream, gamers have become harder and harder to please, and wants to know why. The audience is less than thrilled. Jerry: "Oh, yeah, you're gonna be torn apart. You're gonna lose a limb."
5:50: "What do you guys think of John McCain's choice for VP?" "Not really our bread and butter. I have no opinion." One rule at PA: they do not talk about politics.
5:48: "How can we take ourselves seriously in this industry and say fuck you to Hollywood?" Jerry: "I think you need to talk to people who are actually in the industry and not people who make JPEGS about it." He's serious, but the guys think it's a good question.
5:46: They get rickroll'd!
5:44: Has their opinion of Gamecock changed, due to the ads from them on PA and here at PAX? "If people want to come to PAX, we're not gonna turn them down... we've turned down, like, six products from them."
5:43: "Can we have regular podcasts please?" Mike says he tries, but Jerry says "Fuck 'em!" Jerry says he loves podcasts, a clear lie, but says "I will commit to a podcast in 2009."
5:43: Mike: "I wish I could have seen some of the sign language for that song."
5:41: Oh Jesus, it's a song called "If You're Really a Woman", from Randy Pinkwood's 70s band. It's, uh, dirty, to say the least.
5:40: Someone asks Jerry to sing. Gabe: "Sing your song, monkey!"
5:36: No waiting this time, thanks to the audience already being in the theater! Jerry and Mike (those guys you know as Gabe and Tycho) come onstage only moments after Ken Levine leaves.
