If you’re attending this year’s Penny Arcade Expo, make sure to come see us! Beyond just the LoadingReadyRun panel, some of the crew are involved in extra-curricular activities that you may want to check out.
Here’s the breakdown:
LoadingReadyRun presents Desert Bus, Unskippable, ENN, and hilarity
Friday, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM, Raven Theatre
Join the LoadingReadyRun crew as they talk about all their work, show you some new stuff and maybe even drop aggravatingly vague hints about future projects! Also, they’ll answer a bunch of your questions, assuming they don’t get distracted.
Booms, Headshots, and Scathing Comments: The Magical World of Web Video
Friday, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM, Pegasus Theatre
Remember the dark internet of 1997? When animated gifs and stamp-sized screenshots were the best gaming media had to offer? Well that world is gone, replaced with a veritable utopia of web video, custom-crafted by gamers for gamers. Graham, Kim, Alex, and Garrett team up with Jeremy in a super-friendsian alliance to discuss the present state of web video, and what it took for them to get where they are today. Interested in knowing the differences between filming in LA and a quiet Canadian suburb? Want to dip your toe into the mysterious world of YouTube? This may well be the panel for you.
Panelists include: Graham Stark [Partner, Bionic Trousers Media], Jeremy Petter [Writer/Filmmaker/Graphic, Independent Contractor], Kim Evey [The Guild, Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show], Alex Albrecht [The Totally Rad Show], Garrett Hunter [Mega64]

Sunday, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM, Wolfman Theatre
Starting a fundraiser for Child’s Play Charity? Make this panel your next step! Join the founders of Ümloud! (San Francisco) and “Desert Bus for Hope” (Victoria, B.C., Canada) as they talk about their process in creating a charity event for Child’s Play. Whether your idea is to run a fund-drive over the internet or a local event set in the real world, we’ll help point you to the right path to make a successful event.
Panelists include: Graham Stark [Co-Creator, LoadingReadyRun], Chris Kohler [Co-Founder, Ümloud!], John “Seg” Seggerson [Co-Founder, Ümloud!]
