Photos (and video!) from PMX 2010 (Updated)

I’ve now been back home for a little over 48 hours, but am still recovering from PMX - I’m still horrifically tired and rather sore (thanks to having to shlep my stuff halfway across creation back and forth to our hotel). At least I’m not suffering the dreaded Convention Plague of Doom (knock on wood), thanks [...]

PMX Day 3 Report and Final Thoughts

Sorry for the late posting here. PMX 2010 has drawn to a close, and I am now safely back at home at Otaku no Podcast HQ, and more or less back to normal (after a day of basically nothing but rest). So far (knock on wood) I’ve managed to avoid the dreaded Con Plague. [...]

PMX Day 2 Report

My PMX Schedule

OK folks, I’ve started going over the PMX schedule (they just released the final schedule btw, might want to go check it out) and I’ve started marking down things I might be interested in checking out and/or possibly get coverage for the podcast for. Of course the standard disclaimers apply: I sometimes double- or even [...]

Heads up! PMX is THIS weekend!

Winter may have finally come to us, but that doesn’t mean that anime convention season is over yet. This coming weekend, November 12-14, the Pacific Media Expo (or “PMX” as the cool kids call it) will be blowing into the Hilton Pasadena Hotel in Pasadena (duh). Online registration for the event is still open [...]

Cool Find: Minecraft

One of my favorite game genres is the sandbox. In this kind of game you’re basically dumped into a virtual world, free to roam about it and do whatever you want, with no script or ordered set of objectives you need to accomplish. The classic example of this is the MUD, or multi-user dungeon, [...]
