E3 Cometh!

Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014, or E3 takes place June 12th this year. We're already getting a treasure trove of announcements!

In case you didn't' know, I am an avid gamer and E3 is a hallowed day to me. Every year me and one or more of my friends take one or two days off work to watch all the big press conferences and announcements at E3. I would make E3 an international holiday if I could. I love all facets of it. Big reveals. News of upcoming games. Game politics and finances. Speculations and confirmations, and huge PR screw-ups. It's Great.

At present I am most looking forward to The legend of Zelda for the Wii U... However this E3 has a lot to look forward to. Here is a list and some trailers of some of the more popular titles that are confirmed to make an appearance this year.

Free Comic Book Day

Spoils From Free Comic Book Day 2014.

This year
I accompanied two friends to 4 shops on Free Comic Book Day this year. Ended up spending $30.
It was a good time. I talked to Batman.. Watched a man LARP in real F'in metal elfin armor.. Talked to Another Batman.. Found some comic books that I needed to fill gaps in my comic collection.. Talked to a bright green Batman.. Found a new favorite comic shop.. and finally I saw swarms of cosplayers, not the least of which was Batman. It was a good day. When I got home I took the time to price my comics before crashing out. Total value roughly $190.. A well spent 30 Bucks. So what is comic book day?

Ax Cop. Do yourself a favor...

Flashback

As of late I've been reflecting back on my childhood. Nothing is like a child's imagination. When I was very young my best friend and I developed our own unique etiquette and framework for roll play and playing with toys. Essentially we would design and create all the characters, set up their motivations and back stories, create a plot, and split it into three acts. Then we would play the whole thing out like a movie, making up all the details as we went. Sometimes we would draw pictures of the characters. Early on the pictures were absurd and quite amusing. You look at them and say "only a 7 year old could come up with something like this". Adults can’t simulate that raw detachment from the rules and reality, and that is what is so great about my latest discovery.
