CleverNickName (129189) To Keynote PAX

Posted by Zonk on from the that's-uncle-willy-to-you dept.

Joystiq mentioned earlier this week that two-time Slashdot interview subject Wil Wheaton, world-famous blogger and writer, is scheduled to keynote this year's Penny Arcade Expo. Other headlining elements of this year's geekstravaganza include a Tokyo Games Show trip for the Omegathon winner, and another year of the 'face-melting' Minibosses as the big musical act of the event. From Gabe's Post: "We'll actually be taking a lot of steps this year to make the Omegathon a more important and interactive part of the show experience. I can't say much more about those ideas right now but I can tell you what this year's Omegathon prize will be. I think each year we've been able to out do the previous year's prize and this year is no exception. The winner of the 2007 Omegathon will receive a trip for two to the Tokyo Game Show along with $5,000 in spending money. We'll be taking care of everything for you from airfare to hotel and giving you some cash to spread around once you get there."

    He's going to be appearing in http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/ps238/index.htm PS238 as well, as a Hollywood superhero. Issue 23. Which amuses me horribly, in a Discordian way.

    How's it feel to be a superhero, Wil?

    Good for him, I guess, but for those of us who have never even seen anything he posted, let alone actually know who he is, who cares?
