Thursday, July 22

12:00-1:00PM – X-Play LIVE: A Show on Television – X-Play’s Official Comic-Con PANEL
ROOM 5AB

Through 12 years, 3 name changes and over 1,000 episodes X-Play has persevered as the most watched videogame show on television. Each episode is packed with brutally honest reviews, previews, hands on demos, and the occasional off-hand reference to early David Cronenberg movies.

Join hosts Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb with correspondents Blair Herter, Kristin Adams, Abbie Heppe and the X-Play crew as they take questions from the audience, reveal world exclusive behind-the-scenes stories, and mock whoever dares ask about the infamous “Crisis Core” review. You’ll find out what it really feels like when you win a Telly, how deep cable is a life changing experience, and why having a career playing videogames can actually be as fun as it sounds.
