I'd be wary of talking to Yahztee after his thing about fans, just cause I wouldnt want to annoy him. | |
I wish something like this would come down to Charlotte, NC. Always wanted to meet Yahtzee. | |
Go up, shake his hand, give him a jar of Branston Pickle and leave. Seems like some pretty cool stuff. I'd love to see the Unskippable Extras videos and talk. Sadly I don't think a transatlantic return flight is really in my poor student budget. | |
I'd like to meet some of The Escapist people. But the risk of meeting the Unskippable guys has drained my will to go there. Besides, it's too far away. :p | |
I would just like to damn a few things to hell, on account of them meaning that I can't make it to GameX. - Myself, for being born in Scotland. I guess what I'm trying to say is sadly I can't make it. Sounds like it'll be a good time though! | |
I wish I could go, and I'm only 2 hours away from Phily. | |
Hope the Escapist has fun at GameX, I was there last year and was not impressed. This year looks to be better, but I'm going to another Con the same weekend, otherwise I might have taken another chance on GameX. | |
Wow, something actually resembling a schedule! It's been a while for the GameX site itself to give us anything close to this. Funk, you rock. | |
Urrg....the ONE time I don't go to philly!!! Damn you Maryland for not being closer!!! (I don't wanna drive 3 hours to get to philly and then 3 hours back) | |
I am too curious to do that. I have questions I always wanna ask alot of people. | |
shit I'm actually gonna be near Philadelphia... now i have to go | |
Yeah, it's one of those things I'd love to do but couldn't get in my budget. Sounds like it'd be a lot of fun. | |
Will the videos be up on here? Ever? | |
That's clearly a different convention you're thinking about - this is GameX's first year. The description also didn't say anything about the onslaught of some of the best videogame music bands in existence: THE ONEUPS, THE MEGAS, ARMCANNON, and RARE CANDY. | |
Come to the UK and i'll give all of you a cookie!! | |
If there are videos at GameX, can you bring it here to the Escapist? Can't go shamefully. | |
Dammit, why do I miss all the cool events? Where's Philly? Is it near Pennsylvania? | |
No fair! This is discrimination to people who aren't gonna be in the area! ...Of course, I kid. I wish I could go, though...alas, I need to play the "poor college student" card. Again. | |
Rather, yes. | |
Game Dogs! Whooooo!!!! :) | |
I'm so sad because i'm only half an hour away and I have no way to get there. I really wish I could go, though. | |
My mistake, it was VGXPO or Video Games XPO. I remember it being a Gaming Expo in the Philly convention center, but other than hanging out with some friends at a Chinese resturant after the con, I thought the whole convention was rather "meh". http://www.videogame.net/vgxpo/ There should be a rule that you can only have so many conventions in a given area that calls itself a variation on "Games" and "Expo". | |
I live in NE Philly and can't go...Now I'm even more angry. Please have it in Philly next year, if you do it again! | |
Damn, I got things to do this weekend, and I'm 8 hours from Pilly. I'd love to go though | |
I really really wanted to go to this, but no one wanted to go with me :( | |
Is there any way to watch all this without going there? | |
Wait - Game Dogs? Is it going to be good? I hope it will - I haven't got over UR yet... URSRU. | |
Hopefully this is put on the internet | |
an mmo discussion whit no John Funk? now im sure Alex is a nice guy, but that just seems batshit crazy. all in all it sounds great and like the perfect opportunity to go up to graham and Paul and stutter/whisper something along "i like your videos" before running away and drink till i forget about how embarrassing it was, but unfortunately i live a 16 hours flight and a whole lot of money away, and whit no Jon Etheridge its hard to justify spending my life savings. | |
Any love for abroad folk without the time or money to get there? A week or two after have a video maybe? :P
Is it any good? Have the creators made anything else you could link us to whilst we are waiting? :) | |
Yahtzee goes all the way to Philly just for this? That's quite a way to go. OP:I wish I could go...damn you Florida! Why must I live in you! | |
Unfortunately that pass I won never arrived, so it looks like I'll be plunking down a little extra cash at the door when I get there. (So no free cookies for anyone, sorry!) But I'm not missing this if I can possibly help it. | |
Come to Chicago. Philly is relatively close, I think, but I'm broke. *sobs* | |
For those of us in other countries, it'd be really good if this stuff does make its way onto the Internet at some point (after the convention, of course). Even (or perhaps especially) the "too hot" content. ;) Pretty please? (I'm a really really long way away from Philadelphia. And I have another convention and a wedding to go to this weekend.) | |

The Escapist Takes GameX by Storm
If you're in the Philadelphia area this weekend, stop by the GameX Expo to meet members of The Escapist family, Yahtzee, and Graham and Paul, and catch a never-before-seen preview of Game Dogs, our newest animated series!
The Escapist will be rolling into Philadelphia at full force this weekend for GameX, where there'll be awesome web-video talent gathered under one roof on a scale never seen before. To get the scoop on the best web video around directly from the source, there will be not one, not two, but four sessions of The Escapist Video Theater.
"The Escapist is thrilled to be at GameX to meet and mingle with our fans in Philadelphia and the US Northeast," says Russ Pitts, Editor-in-Chief of The Escapist. "GameX is a premiere gaming event for the East Coast, and we are happy to be a part of it and make it our official first US appearance of both Yahtzee and the stars of Unskippable. It also seemed like the perfect place to premiere our newest animated series, Game Dogs, which has been in the works for months now. We're quite proud of it and hope the fans like it as much as we do."
Full descriptions of the sessions are below:
It won't just be all video, all the time, though. As part of our commitment to journalistic excellence in the videogame industry, The Escapist staff will be taking the mic to participate and moderate some of the discussion panels on issues that the industry must face moving forward.
And finally, if you've ever wanted to meet the web-video stars in person, you'll get your chance: Ben "Yahztee" Croshaw, Paul Saunders and Graham Stark will be signing autographs Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting at 1pm at the GameX VIP Red Carpet Booth.
Plus, we'll be up there on the show floor - so if you bump into our video crew or Senior Editor Susan Arendt, why not say hi? (Well, make sure they're not filming something first. That's just polite.)
See you there!
