This years Comic-Con was an amazing site. I haven’t been to the convention in over ten years and things have changed quite a bit. The last time I went there were about 15,000 people, this year there were 125,000 people! That is an insane amount of people for a comic convention. I actually planned on buying a few things but the amount of people was so overwhelming, I ended up wandering around for hours never even seeing anything I planned on buying. I ended up spending $12 total.
Since I wasn’t spending much, I decided to try to get as many free promotional things as I could. I’m usually pretty laid back, but apparently when people are handing out free junk I turn into an excited little kid. Every time I saw a booth giving away something decent, I plowed my way over to claim my item having no regard for kids, moms, or other nerds.
As if going to a comic convention isn’t nerdy enough, I spent the majority of the time at the video game booths. I tried a lot of games, many of which aren’t out yet. I was going to buy most of these anyway, but getting to see them in person sealed the deal.
Puzzle Fighter HD - plays as expected; I didn’t spend a lot of time with it.
Contra DS - I thought the gap in between the dual screens would be annoying but it didn’t cause any problems with the game.
Castle Crashers (360) – I didn’t play it much. It plays smoother than Alien Hominid. Support The Behemoth.
The Eye of Judgment (PS3) – Never even played it but I must have it.
Anyway, enough of my rambling, here are a few pictures of the event.
