While we've brought you all manner of tasty insights and asides into what happened at PAX 2009 this year, there's something to be said for being able to catch the panels yourself. Knowing full well that their fans were going to go completely berserk when they heard all the juicy details about Guild Wars 2, ArenaNet has gone to great lengths to make sure to record all of their panels at PAX 2009 for you to check out. How awesome is that?
The topics for this year were two completely different question and answer panels on the Art of Guild Wars 2, an insightful talk with the Guild Wars Live team who currently take care of the game, and a really interesting panel on the Fall of Ascalon novel that will give us the backstory between Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2. So if you weren't able to make it, be sure to check out the other half of the above lore video behind the jump, then head over to ArenaNet's official video channel to enjoy the rest!

Have you ever spoken in front of giant crowds and cameras for the world to see? Have you any idea how nerve-racking it can be?
Being nervous can often elicit the same characteristics as being unprepared. I highly doubt they just decided to hold the Q&A all willy-nilly. It is far more likely they were simply nervous...
These aren't exactly "celebrities" who would be accustomed to large audiences or camera time, so I think we can cut 'em a bit of slack, no?
