I dunno, though, the concept of a baked cell phone is pretty funny.

What're all those commercials that talk about "baked, not boiled"...

I promise, it works.  We got told that by someone from AT&T rep who does it himself.  We've done it and it works.  You can actually watch the steam come up off the phone.

Quick, someone get Kraft and Pilsbury on the line; obviously we have to start selling these.

We'll use the steam-from-phone as a promotional video!

I just saw this on Brandon's Twitter:

"At Jordancon. Loads of fun. I just played ALL of the Forsaken (the males at least) in a skit. Sometimes playing several Forsaken at once."

Hopefully someone got a video of that. I would love to see it. :) Plus video or transcripts from any other interesting panel discussions. :)

Wonder if he let any spoilers slip out. . .

And are you going to tell us what it is?  ;)

I'm pretty sure I saw a video camera or two set up during that, so someone should have it.  Presumably the video will be for sale or posted online later, possibly both.

The skit was a lighthearted summary of most of the series with a number of jokes thrown in, all crammed into one hour, so Brandon got to fake dying a lot.  The male Forsaken just do not have a good track record for survival.  The Eye of the World battle was especially bad for that, as he had to die as Balthamel, get up and "die" as Ishamael/Ba'alzamon, and get back up and die a third time as Aginor all in rapid succession.

Wow that must have been exhausting for Brandon to do but would have been hilarious to see.

As for the spoiler:

Brandon said that there was one character that was basically ready for Tarmon Gaiden, in otherwords they had pretty much nothing they HAD to do get ready. Like Mat having to go get Moriane, Eggy in the WT, and so on. The reason I think it's really a spoiler is that it may lead to not seeing this character in the next book, maybe only even in the prologue.

Do you guys have a spoiler function here?

Many things were omitted from the skit, of course, there's only so much that will fit in just one hour, but Brandon did make quite a number of dives to the floor while making fake death noises.  And yes, it was hilarious.  For example, the Asmodean death scene was preceded by a "lesson in magic" where Brandon pulled out some Magic: The Gathering trading cards and started explaining a new combo to Jason Denzel of dragonmount.com, who played Rand.  Jason then asked him about a Black Lotus Asmodean supposedly owed him and Brandon went looking for it, leading to the sudden "You!"+death.  Sadly, no one played the role of his killer (Brandon just looked behind the projector screen) so we can't speculate about the possible meaning of that person playing some other role (or not playing any of the other roles included) with regard to Asmodean's killer.

Hmm, I'd guess Lan for the spoiler.  Unless something unexpected turns up, all he has to do is get there and watch an army materialize around him on the way.

We had a spoiler function but it only hid the text from anyone who hadn't already posted in the thread. I believe it was eaten by the recent forum hacking. (The database was salvaged but the forum itself had to be restored to a backup from 2007(?).)

Wish I could be there! It sounds hilarious.

Interesting?  Oh my.  I'd pay money to watch it.

I was wondering if the person ready for Tairmon Gaidon was Perrin.  It seems like a lot of his plot lines have been cleared up recently.
