ComiCon International comes to San Diego every year, and is the biggest convention on the West Coast.
For all you who don't know, here's what it is:
All the famous, big-named companies, with a lot of medium-popularity, and some people who are trying to start their career come here. The companys that show up:
Blizzard
Marvel
Wizards of the Coast
LotR staff
Star Wars staf
Etc. All the cool stuff any gaming nerd/geek/internet user or whoever can have a fun time at.
I mean, the place is amazing, and the things it features is absolutely astonishing. It takes place in Downtown San Diego, inside the Convention Center, taking up all the rooms. They just removed the partitions to make it a friggin' huge room, probably like 300 yd x 200 yd, packed FULL with awesome shit.
For example, the Blizzard section is what I'm in love with. The new WoW expansion is coming out soon, and the booth they had let the people there play the two new races that are coming out before anyone else.
The DnD section is where my friend started to play, which makes me laugh. From one hystierical DM, preaching to all the newbs on what a d20 means is how many of them start to experience such a fucking fun, creative table-top RPG. Hilarious to see them doing the Basic Starter's Set when I remember doing the exact same thing so long ago.
I mean, jesus. There's an incredible amount of people here. News reporters, Star Wars fanatics ( In groups of 30+ all dressed up as the republics, just cruising around the convention to make sure everything is going alright and there's no Jedis up to mischeif, lmao it's hilarious ).. The place is heaven. I'll be posting a lot on this thread later, with some pictures of the place.
This is really the only convention I've been to, and it's setting the standards very very high. I would very highly recommend anyone here go stop by if you have a chance. It's something you'll want to see.
