Emerald city comic con this weekend kiddies, MOTHERFUGGER though! Cary Elwes was supposed to show up for a special screening of the princess bride! Alan Tudyk is showing up for serenity.

I even commented to Joe Ludwig on his blog how this would be the pinnacle of my existence, making my life complete!
Now checking back though, he is GONE! Dissappeared! Major BUMMER! And I can't get the Cinerama people to answer my emails or phone calls to find out what is up! Very sad right now :(
I worked an all nighter 2 nights ago getting ready for comicon. I set up an oculus demo at a booth there this morning and hung out for a few hours, in the back by the food. :) I really need the new HD one though...people love the first but I find myself telling them it's not as good as what's coming out.
Where is it? I went all over comic com today, only a few people had heard of all the new facebook VR sony VR stuff, I saw nothing anywhere with Oculus or any VR or HMD stuff! Tell me ;)
So I called up the Doctor and said I need a ride to the con bro! He passed the neuroenhancing jelly babies and we got dat partay started!
And the eye of sauron was upon me!
And David Bowie as the Goblin King himself was hunting me too! It was such a labyrinth!
Rorshack said we got to get to the bottom of this mystery!
So we summoned the archmage Mithrandir!
First we got a bite to eat!
And then the great pirate roberts and princess buttercup showed up!
Then that evil computer from portal said the cake is a lie! LOL!
So my horsey friend saved me! (Hint Palmer, don't take life so seriously, none of us are gonna make it out alive ya?)
This acolyte of Notch from Minecraft (right next to the portal gaming booth) said there is no spoon! LOL!
So I asked Lara Croft (damn! so cute) If we could go do some tomb raiding! LOL! She said watch that cusack movie serendipity and if I find her later that weekend, sure why not (but she only had a Friday pass - FOILED AGAIN!)
So Dr. Jones took my spelunking!
And me and r2d2 played some lego star wars and called It a day. LOL!
Where was my wingman GEEKMASTER to help with oversupply? LOL!
And we went to the Cinerama to watch a movie in paul allen's theater.
And lo and behold, the costumes for the DUDE lebowski, Fifth Element, And Dr. Eldon Tyrell from Blade runner!
Stereomike's avatar - mindblown!
So its Commander Adama from Battlestar Galactica on the far left, Rachel and Zhora from Blade Runner, and jeri ryan the borg babe! Maybe Paul Allen is a pretty kewl guy? LOL!
And then the great pirate robots and princess buttercup showed up!
Umm... What robots? "Dread Pirate Roberts", dude!
I lost count of how many times I watched that film, back in the day. More than "The Matrix" or "Dirty Dancing"... "Only MOSTLY dead", don't you know?
Wingman indeed! That's what my buddy said you were for me at GDC. And thanks for that, but I missed you dearly when you pooped out on me that last day.
Comic Con would be cool (forbidden fruit from my youth, if you recall THAT story). Maybe next year. ;)
Thanks Geekmaster, damn autocorrect is actually useful a lot of times, but harmful other times! So few people were noticing that was the dread pirate Roberts! All the old memes are dying out.
Lots of peeps were dressed up as Hivebent? Trolls. From Homestuck? (sorry I don't know these memes yet, my first exposure to them, but I kept seeing all these trolls everywhere, and they kept telling me go online, watch the comic where EVERYONE DIES, and you will get it, but I still don't get it)
I ran into Tom Cook of Filmation He-man fame! I bought some of his he-man shirts and we had a talk about the industry and what happened to Filmation. Cook said he was a bus driver and one day decided to take an animation school course for 6 weeks, that launched him into talks with Disney people and other types. Cook worked in thundarr, he-man, she-ra, Scooby doo, flintstones, mickey mouse, he was a really nice humble guy. We got to talking about the downfall of filmation, and he said it was just to easy to go over to asia and get cheaper animators, I said yah I worry about that for so many other industries, games developers, vr book authors, etc and that boeing just stuck it to their union guys, he said that is what we have to do if we want to compete globally, bust up unions, so as prices go cheaper in other parts of the globe, we race them to the bottom.
What's going on? (what an awesome he-man video)
You audio experts, he - man had some of the coolest audio, even from that filmation logo sound at the beginning always training your brain to start recording in enhanced mode because he - man educational time was about to start! LOL!
So I saw an anaglyph 3d ninja comic and thought I would pick it up for geekmaster. (more on that later)
So here was geekchic with her professional gaming tables.
They had a model room, lots of cool models.
Even the thundercats showed up!
So I get home and check my mail and WEEV has sent me a letter. They have stopped his commissary wepay account, and the prison won't let him get any more BOOKS! But they say he can have magazines or comicbooks. So I send him geekmaster's 3d anaglyph ninja comic I got at the con.
So if anyone enjoyed this report or got a laugh from the silliness, please send Weev some magazines or comicbooks or a letter.
It wasn't a human that locked weev up, but a tyrannical company and government system out of control yes? But people like Calanar ask me why can't he get my points, about tyranny, secrecy, too powerful companies, governments, etc etc BURN WEEV'S IMAGE INTO YOUR BRAIN CALANAR! THat is the POINT! OF IT ALL! NO FREEDOM!
Dune with Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson - A storm is coming.... Fear is the mind Killer - Mentats of Dune
That's Kevin on the left. I have never met Brian.

I always got the anti-corporate part man. You don't even have to convince me. The deck is stacked and corporations have the world by the short and curlies. What they have done to Weev is absolutely awful. The guy is a contrarian. He didn't do anything worthy of what they have done to him. It is just plan wrong. It makes me sick.
