Apparently PAX East is looking for panel submissions. Industry dignitaries, celebs, desperate fan site editors trying to make a name for themselves. That sort of thing. Here’s what Infendo’s thought up so far:
David Cole presents: “An Afternoon Chat with David Cole: Video Games Are Just Like Movies: How Publishers Can Be Successful Through Focused Marketing And Bigger Production Budgets”
and
“Drink the Kool-Aid: An Intimate Evening Panel With Infendo Sr. Editor Jack Loftus, Wherein He Explains When and Why He Replaced All Carnal Desire for Human Touch and Interaction with a Cold, Uncaring Box of White Plastic”
and from Will:
“Deranged Sense of Accomplishment: A look at the Nintendo DS After Five Years”
There may be more. Watch out. Maybe you should think of a few of your own.
Ok, I'm not commenting about the article because I ran into a add when I clicked to get here. Seriously guys, you're edging towards having more ads than content on your page. The only good thing about it is that adblock still kills pretty much all of it.
Firstly, great panel ideas (with the possible exception of David's idea; not only has that already been tried, but its my opinion that game dev's need to get over their inferiority complex to Hollywood).
Secondly, peshue, without those ads, there would be NO Infendo whatsoever. Hosting a site and hiring writers costs money you know; would you rather they start asking for donations from you instead?
@peshue
You really suck at not commenting.
Also, capitalism for the win, site hosting 'aint free ya know, and it ain't no pop up so i'm coo wit it.
"Hosting a site and hiring writers costs money you know"
Guys, the ad monies go towards defraying the cost of hosting the site and sometimes nice prizes for contests! The writers for this site are all volunteers .. and some of the most dedicated volunteers out there, just so you know!
Hyper, they have asked for donations and that's fine too. Not everything on the internets can be free. It's like public radio. Some people pay, most don't.
Well tons of high traffic sites get on just fine with less ads…
Oh well, like I said adblock nabs mot of them anyways, I'm just using a different browser right now.
@ David,Paul
Ah, I'm sorry about that. I didn't know that (well, I knew that ad money went to offset the hosting cost). Well then, I too must agree that for being volunteer work, you sure wouldn't know it by looking at the quality of the site. Here's a quick thanks then to all you writers who pour your time and effort into this site!
@finland: You're a riot. Thanks for being you!
