This weekend, I attended the Penny Arcade Expo for the second time (and the first as a Hothead employee). I didn’t get booth duty this year, which was fortunate, because I’m not sure I can stand being around all the noise and nerd sweat for too long without my head imploding, so instead, I wandered around, poked my head into panels that were either so boring that I left after five minutes or so full that I couldn’t actually get inside, [1] and attempted to socialise — namely, with Max Battcher, John Green, assorted Telltale people… and my co-Hotheads, but I see them all the time, so that hardly counts.

Hmm. By the way I wrote that, you’d think I had a terrible time. The truth is, I actually had fun, if only because I had a good excuse to break out of my normal routines. And I managed to stay in a rather chipper mood, to the point that John pointed out that I appeared to be a lot more… shall we say… “bubbly” in contrast to the more pointed sort of writing style through which I present myself on internetland. Then again, I’d say I came more for the interesting people than for the expo itself. The expo was really just a way to bring said people together, really.

Anyway, in case you haven’t seen them already, you ought to check out the DeathSpank teasers that Ron posted. They’re delightfully silly.
