I'm considering attending the Comic Con in 2011. Is the event really, really cool? - FabioParme Jul 25, 08:19 19
- I worked one for Wizards of the Coast 3 years ago. It was kinda fun, but people got all amped up over... - ceregon Jul 25, 10:23
- To me it seems like the kind of thing where it stopped being fun a few years ago but it would be an interesting experience. -- nm - Dano Jul 25, 09:46 2
  - it depends what you want. the comic dealers are the same as 1990. it is all the mass media that makes the difference - peglegpete Jul 25, 10:04
  - this -- nm - TFox Jul 25, 10:02
- you probably won't get stabbed in the eye with a pen by a nerd -- nm - chuckles Jul 25, 09:44
- I'm planning my vacation next year around Comic-Con. It'll be crowded, but fun. Plan early. -- nm - Mop Jul 25, 09:03 1
  - book your hotels now, and do NOT wait for the convention deals offered thru Comic-con next winter. -- nm - peglegpete Jul 25, 09:11
- as a dealer, I have been to 20+ Comic-cons since 1980. people line up for some panels a day in advance, and hotel rooms sell out 6 months before the - peglegpete Jul 25, 08:58
- I've never been, but "cool" isn't the word I would use to describe it. - psilotum Jul 25, 08:49 4
  - I'm a nerd, so I'll probably enjoy! I dunno about the wife, though... :) - FabioParme Jul 25, 08:52 2
    - I like SD a lot, but IIRC the part that people talk about being beautiful isn't a huge area. "A few days" sounds like a perfect amount of time. -- nm - con_carne Jul 25, 09:29
    - There's a lot to see and do in the area, and you're only about 100 miles from the L.A. area. - MojaveMeg Jul 25, 09:07
  - I think it used to be cooler when it wasn't quite so huge. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 08:51
- Panels have seats but fill to standing room only. Tickets went on sale at the Con for next year and will be available to non-attendees of this year's - TWuG Jul 25, 08:41 3
  - Thanks for the tips! I saw the 2010 tickets sold out in November -- nm - FabioParme Jul 25, 08:50 2

      - I also don't like to plan things that far ahead. I only booked my trip to NY a month ago and I'll be arriving in two weeks - FabioParme Jul 25, 08:57
- There is apparently some kind of seating - that's what this fight was about..... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jul 25, 08:41 1
  - The fight is indicative of a serious problem the con has. People show up to panels they aren't interested in to snag seats - TWuG Jul 25, 08:44
i ended up sending "The Reader" back without watching it. It had been sitting on a shelf since Nov 16th. Yikes. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 08:01 6

odd question: How do you properly pronounce the word "Tonga", as in the country? - Andie Jul 25, 06:27 8
- WWF always pronounced King Tonga's name as rhymes with song(uh). Emphasis on the first syllable. :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 25, 09:17 1
  - But hey, I mean if I worried about proper pronunciation of country names, I'd insist people say ar-hen-TEE-na instead of ar-jen-TEE-na :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 25, 09:31
- The "ng" is like singer, not finger. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 08:14
- I agree with your IM, but I prounounce it that way anyway. Not like I'll ever go there. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 07:47
- 'Tun-gah' (I think) -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 06:27 3
  - like Tunna but with a "ga" instead? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 25, 06:39 1
    - yes. like tuna but with a g. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 06:44

- So who are those STers in that video? - CovingtonCat Jul 25, 05:50

"It also gives you a chance to watch an immortal who is not a vampire, so the show has that going for it, which is nice." - David Jul 24, 22:38
how do the angels get to sleep...when the devil leaves the porch light on? -- nm - Zeitgeist Jul 24, 22:26
That's a pretty strict bad beat threshhold. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 22:11 2
- It's relatively standard from what I've seen in the past. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 05:37
- for 60K? Not surprised it's strict -- nm - Beryllium Jul 24, 22:18
Halo? -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 24, 20:43 19

  - yes, just depends on who has what game. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 24, 21:10 10
    - I'm thinking of getting an XBOX, but I'm not really into shooters. -- nm - psilotum Jul 24, 21:31 9

        Thanks. Interesting. RDR sounds interesting. I can see how sports titles would work well. -- nm - psilotum Jul 24, 22:19 3
        
        Oh and some of the downloadable games are pretty good too, and not all are shooters. -- nm - Tim Jul 24, 22:43 1
        
        Braid and Limbo, in particular -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 01:24
        
        Red Dead Redemption is essentially Grand Theft Horse. I plan on picking it up soon. -- nm - Tim Jul 24, 22:25
        
        so there's one non-shooter in the top ten. heh. (Although several of them are not first-person shooters) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 24, 22:14 1
        
        Also, I'm ridiculously addicted to achievements. - Tim Jul 24, 22:32
