Let me stress something in particular to my dear readers and fans in Australia: I do not know when I will be in your continent next, if ever. Those will be magical nights.
We are also making arrangements for events surrounding these shows, so stay tuned!
HOLY FUCKING FUCK I WILL BE THERE FRONT ROW.
Although this is incredibly cool and I'm happy for all the Australian fans I sure hope you guys can get back in time to still make it to the Calgary expo, which is later that same month!
if my calculations are correct and im sure they are, if they leave straight after the show on the 12th of april and hop on a plane they will make it back just in time to be there for the last few hours of the calgary expo on the 29th.
so do not fret!
Har har. I suppose there IS enough time JUST MAYBE. Just seems like a lot of international travel in one month is all. Of course Melbourne would be a lot more important not to miss.
That's so much better than Tommy Talirico!
Congratulations Kris, this is an amazing achievement!
I am so chuffed to have the opportunity to see you perform in Australia (front row tickets on Thursday) and I am so glad to have had the opportunity to witness the ascension of your star over the past few years.
I imagine you will have a very busy time over here but I hope you do have an opportunity to organise a gathering of your readers.
Once again, well done man!
So, my job status is changing, so I'm going to upgrade my response to your invite from "I'd love to but there's no possible way" to "It's still a long shot, but there's a possibility and I'll keep you posted!"

this sounds like The Awesome. I wish I could make it all the way from the USofA… but , as they say: if wishes were horses, we'd all be eatin' steak.
Are you guys going to do any Q/A stuff while you're in Melbourne?
Probably. We will have more details as the months go on, it's still in the planning stages but Scott and I are committed! Apparently Wil has also completed signing on as well.
Aweosme. Because I'd love to see the three of you and support the MSO some more (going to the Dr Who event in Feb), but that music doesn't put me on a nostalgia trip as it seems to with all other geeks.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHI'll be there
Sweet gig, Straub. How'd you land this one?
I ask because, while you're a beloved spokesman for Internet culture, I've never really thought of you as a "videogame guy." Or an "Australia guy," for that matter.

Oh wow, its a shame I live in Sydney! Any plans to visit the better city? :p
You're joking right?
If Heidi Klum leaned in 90% of the way to kiss me, I wouldn't shrug my shoulders and say to her "That's nice, but do you reckon you might be able to do that last 10 percent?"
Come on man, do it.
Lean in and kiss Scott and Kris.
Exactly. The plane ride is 1 hour 20 minutes! Get down here and thank Kris later :)

My jaw literally just dropped. I finally move overseas, and immediately you get booked in my remote hometown! I may have to schedule a trip home next April, to, err, "visit my family."
Still come to PAX-E, please! :)
I really enjoyed the music in the game Darksiders, it was epic!
