Message from Penny Arcade Expo:
"
Congratulations, your PAX East panel submission of "Radio FreeNintendo: A Live Nintendo Podcast for Grown-Ups" has been accepted. We tentatively have you scheduled for
Friday, March 26th from 2:30pm – 3:30pm in our
Wyvern Theatre." Here is the tentative description that I provided:
Radio Free Nintendo has delivered weekly discussion on all things Nintendo since mid-2006, in a convenient podcast format. This outspoken and funny group of Nintendo experts comes from the oldest and largest independent Nintendo website in the world, Nintendo World Report. We love Nintendo games, except when we don't, and we appreciate/criticize Wii and DS games in the context of multi-platform gaming. We know the best Metroid upgrades, the worst Zelda dungeons, and what makes Sin & Punishment sublime. We own more WiiWare games than you knew existed. And we're not afraid to compare Mario with Ratchet & Clank or Prince of Persia. Panelists include: Jonathan Metts, Greg Leahy, James Jones, Jonathan Lindemann, and Karl Castaneda (all of Nintendo World Report), plus special guests.
Before you make any travel plans, please note that we are awaiting confirmation from the entire RFN crew and others, like Karl, who may be participating. I haven't scheduled any special guests yet, either. And we have a lot of work to do to make sure that the panel can be recorded in an acceptable audio format to become a podcast later.
With all those caveats... we are really excited. ;-) Early word was that we probably wouldn't be accepted, so this is a very nice surprise. I hope that all our listeners planning to attend PAX East will be at our panel; we'd love to meet you in person and get your direct, live participation. I thought this thread could be a place to make plans, take suggestions on format and content, bask in the joy, etc.
