PAX 2008 is less than three weeks away, and they've finally released their schedule. The best way to describe it is chock full of goodness. There's something for everyone in here, with panels like, "History of Harmonix: THE ROCKENING" and "Writing For Video Games," but we imagine all the attention will be focused on the "How To Get Your Girlfriend Into Gaming" panel at 11:30 AM on Sunday. Of course, that conflicts with the Wil Wheaton panel, so you're going to have to choose your poison.
Joystiq will be there frantically trying to clone ourselves so we can cover as much as possible. There should be some surprise announcements, plenty of hands-on gaming action (including a lot of tabletop games), and of course The Omegathon! Stay tuned to Joystiq during PAX, August 29th through the 31st for as much coverage as we can pack in.

Ahhh, i hope to attend a PAX at some point in the future, but it's gonna require a lot more money than i'm coming into.
Also, someone must explain to me this Wil Wheaton craze; why's he such a big deal at these events?

I didn't really understand it either when I went to PAX last year, but I was very impressed with his keynote. He's a good writer and speaker, and he's one of us. Give the keynote a listen:

Google his keynote speech from last year and all will be understood.

Yay! I'm going!
I'd say "I'll see you there" but you guys will probably be way too busy to visit.

And another year goes by that I don't get to attend PAX. I'll be out of town. Drat!
Does anyone else seriously dislike Wil Wheaton? And is that too blasphemous to even say? I mean, seriously... the dude is annoying...

Yay, another conference idiotically and pointlessly focusing on 'women in the industry'.

I'm looking forward to the "How to market your game through a game expo" panel

I will "choose my poison!" Sounds like an Engrish translation of "pick your poison!"
Wil is my poison. I already know how to manipulate my girlfriend.

There's no conflict because anyone with a girlfriend would not be attending the Wil Wheaton panel. *wipes hands*-- problem solved.
