The guys over at Xfire have set up a Penny Arcade live chat for August 9th. Essentially it will be Tycho and I along something like 200 of you guys just shooting the shit for an hour. We’ll do our best to answer any questions you may have and we’ll also be giving away some PA prizes. They’ve done lots of these chats in the past with game developers and those noobs from Pure Pwnage. This is our first time doing one of these though and we’re pretty excited to see how it goes.
You’ll need an Xfire account in order to participate. If you already have one you can enter to win a spot in the Penny Arcade chat right here. If you don’t have an account it’s free and you can create one right here. If you’ve never used Xfire it’s a pretty slick program. It’s basically an IM/voice chat client for gamers. It allows you to chat with your friends regardless of what game you’re in without having to jump back to the desktop all the time.
We’ll be using the irc style text chat functionality for our little party. It should be a fun opportunity for you guys to ask us about Penny Arcade or games or anything else that crosses your mind. Like I said we’re there for you guys so feel free to grill us about Jack Thompson or the ESRB or PAX, we’ll answer as many questions as we can during the hour.
So if you don’t already have one, head over to Xfire and set up an account and then sign up for a spot in the PA chat.
