Comic-Con Day 1: Thursday
Today was our first day out at San Diego Comic-Con. But now we are back at the hotel, and I have some con reporting to do.
The day started off early, with us getting up at around 5:00am to shower, eat, and head down to the convention center to pick up our badges. This would have been fine id sleep wasn't so hard to come by in a full sized bed occupied by three people (we have the smallest hotel room known to man outside of the pod hotels in Japan). But breakfast was had and we got in line. It was rather awesome, considering how many people recognized me as Jubilee just as we were finding our place in line.
Registration was painless as always, and I managed to trade off my Superman bag for a Supernatural one for Natalie. From there it was just a matter of getting in line to get to the Exhibition Hall, where I would spend ALL THE MONEY. We headed directly to CAPCOM, where I got a ticket to admit me to the demo of Resident Evil 6 later that day (more on that later) and I stopped to buy some awesome stuff (Dara, I have a DMC shirt for you). From there we went a-wandering. I ended up buying limited edition lithographs of Liara (one for me, one for Sydney), some ME Homeworlds comics, an Adventure Time comic, and two Adventure Time USB drives (one for me and one for Sydney) in this time. I also managed to get a postcard signed for Greer. It was all rather exciting.
At that point we headed back to CAPCOM for some RE6 time--I was literally bouncing. Ask Melissa. No one could have been more excited than me at that point. You could say I was down right jubilant at the idea of playing some of that demo. We were given a half hour to play as many levels as we could. I started with Jake. Now mind you these are demos that are completely different from those released via Dragon's Dogma. Jake's takes place in China and....holy hell I am so in love with this game you don't even know. I also ship Jake and Sherry like burning. This level also proved how difficult the game would be for me to solo--I died once because I initially missed the heal item pick up and Sherry was too far to revive me. Still it was fun and I plan on playing again at least once more this weekend (especially since you get Leon's head-light-thing for trying it).
After that we looped back to the hotel to drop off some stuff before we headed off to the two panels we had planned to see for the day. First was a creature creation panel for Melissa--while not my thing I was rather entertained by the material covered. Then it was the "Most Dangerous Women at Comic-Con" panel--which I went to just to see Holly Conrad. It was a hoot though, the crowd was laughing throughout with the jokes and they covered the topic of women at cons in an entertaining fashion.
And....that was it. Now we are in the hotel room, chilling out. And relaxing. And trying not to fall asleep. Tomorrow will be an early day too, look for a post tomorrow night as well! I plan to check out the Bioware base, meaning I'll have word on the new Earth DLC for Mass Effect to share tomorrow as well.
