Bill Amend at the Penny Arcade Expo

Just a short clip from my cell phone of Bill Amend at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle.

He ran a panel titled "Greetings from a Dead Tree Dinosaur Cartoonist." He basically gave his background as a gamer growing up and how he incorporate geeky things ranging from physics, math, and World of Warcraft into his comic strip, Foxtrot. It was an informative and funny panel. I enjoyed it.

He showed his toons and alt on Bronzebeard server. He has three level 80s, his orc shaman being his main.

Yeah, it totally was. I wish I brought the real camcorder and recorded the whole thing for you all.

Me as well I only have one level 80, well it sounded like a fun discussion =D

I couldn't believe it either. Well, I have only 1 lvl 80. lol. He said someting to the effect of "as you can see, I have way less than the average WoW player." But yeah, he said he's been playing since Warcraft 3, his wife gave it to him as a gift. He said "she didn't know what she was getting herself into."

Amend also mentioned playing with the creators of Penny Arcade, poking fun at the cwgabriel (resto druid), who did not like people's pets out while he was healing. lol

Wow, I'm a big Foxtrot fan and I can't believe he already has 3 level 80s. When he spoke to Alakazham he had an ally druid as his main. I guess he has a lot of free time on his hands cause he doesn't publish his comics as much as he used to...
