PAXish
Philosophers around the world pretty much agree that PAX is about the most damn exciting show there is. Much of the debate currently going on in the marbled halls and ivory towers of the intellectual elite is if me giving this years PAX keynote makes it more exciting or if I'll get up on stage and freeze from stage fright and you'll all stare at me for 45 minutes wondering if this is some some avant-garde performance piece.
Of course, confusing the toga wearing philosophers even more is that Hothead will be showing DeathSpank at PAX. And when I say "showing", I really mean "showing", like in "actual" "game play".
To truly understand how all this effects PAX, I decided to enlist the help of the world's "top" "mathematicians". I gave them all the universal constants and variables and they came up with this:
Think on that Philosphers. Much like on the grade school playground, math wins again.

I didn't know you speak German Ron. Where did you snitch that math? Did you cheat Math in grade school too?

Any clue as to what your speech will be about? I'd like to attend but the Schedule page on the PAX site seems a bit lacking...

Does this mean, Mr. Gilbert, that you will abandon Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episodes 3 & 4?
I mean, I know you can keep secrets, but I don't want you to take them to your grave. :(

My point was that Mr. Gilbert seems to tend to abandon projects after the second iteration (See: Monkey Island, PA Adventures), hence his need to keep secrets in the first place.

Understood. Every. Word.
Of course, I happen to be a math major studying in Germany at a German university. These might as well have been notes stolen from my notebook. Well, with the exception of the Deathspank bits. From the looks of it, this is the proof of a theorem about Eigenfunctions in cylindrical coordinates, fairly basic analysis stuff. (Sigh Yes, believe it or not, this is basic. It just gets worse from there). There are a few definitions missing, so it's hard to be sure, but that's about the gist of it.
