Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

it's that time of year again!
when thousands and thousands of tourists, and maybe even a few San Diego locals, converge on the Gaslamp District to witness panels and shows and booths and costumed folk all inspired by popular (and not so popular) movies, books, tv shows, video games, and other media.
and it's all happening here:
in bee yoo tee full San Diego, where the sun shines and temperatures are high enough where nigh-inappropriate costumes are totally ok to wear!
speaking of which, one of the biggest attractions are the Costumes and Cosplay. some of which is amazing:
a little disturbing:
and sometimes just messed up:
and then there are awesome Panels
like the cast and crew of Game of Thrones
or the creators of The Last Airbender/Legend of Korra
or the Robert Downey, Jr. panel! (featuring Iron Man 3)
this webcomic called Penny-Arcade might even be there. you've probably never heard of it.
so SE++, who's gonna be in town for this year's Comic Con?
NOTE: this is NOT a swag thread, nor a begging for swag thread.

sadface. twas cool to get drinks with you last year. i can see how flying from Amsterdam might be...impractical. you settled in there?

Yeah you better be there next year, I want to say more vulgar things, will attempt to drag lexxy again too. Sooooo glad I'm a pro
I'm... settling. Going to the bank tomorrow to get that set up, then I can get my phone done, and hopefully the guberment likes Canada still and will give me an SSN and stuff asap. So much to doooo
isn't Canada still considered a "harmless" United States, with better healthcare?
yeah i plan to be here for 2013, too! hopefully Comic Con will still be in San Diego. although i wouldn't complain if it was in Vegas...

Just read someone camping out for Twilight was hit and killed crossing the street this morning.
someday
Not sure if there's any consolidated spot for videos but alot of it hits youtube after the fact, and some companies post their own panels as promos, like AMC Walking Dead as a likely example.
Aw SHIT I just noticed it, damn you.
kinda hard to miss.

I was more drawn to his freaky looking head.
it's not even rude, it's just weird
I'd have gone earlier since I'm off this whole week, but the hotel prices are nuts.
My wife and I went in 2008+2009, so this will be our third sdcc outing.
dress up the baby as Captain America. or Spider-Man. or even as Finn from Adventure Time. BAM: instant admission to the Con for your totes adorbs nerd baby.
edit: unless, like, you haven't actually had the baby yet, which makes this post all awkward and junk.

Every open patch of land across or alongside the convention center and radiating a ways out from there has something going on.
No baby yet, but it's not awkward. He is supposed to be born shortly before Halloween so I have a rather large mental file of things to dress him up as before he is too big to object.
I've thought about dragging us down to the stuff outside, but was worried about bathrooms and how I need them all the time.

some teasers would be nice!
This is a thread relevant to me as I'm on my way to San Diego as we speak. I'll be there in a working capacity, but can be tempted to meet up I suppose. Best way to find me is actually following the TG twitter feed. We announce where we'll be from time to time.
Also, I'll be by the BBC booth a whole bunch.
So, who all is at this?
I went a long time ago 1995 and other than the smell of unwashed sweaty people I can remember little of it
If I can get Cloud Factory up and running, I'll apply for a small press table!
well, tonight is preview night. anyone around? i plan to take up the role traditionally held by @Fiz and unnecessarily harass the PA staff. i'm hoping at least some of you are willing to go to the Legend of Korra panel on Friday at 11:15a. my friends visiting from out of town are apparently too manly to go.
@DrZiplock what is TG? and maybe we can rustle up a few persons to hang out Thursday or Friday night?
