A day at Anime Expo…

Still catching up on entries… Sometimes I hate being behind… On Saturday, 7/6, I’ve had the opportunity to once again attend Anime Expo, even though it was just for one day. I seem to have developed a pattern where I go to AX every two years since I first attended back in 2009. Anyway, let’s…

SDCC 2013: Friends, Family, Geek Nirvana.

First off, thanks to my friends, family, and all you cool geeks that made it out to SDCC 2013.  You all deserve a round of applause. Go ahead, I’ll wait. *waiting* Okay, good.  Here are my pictures from that fun-filled nerd orgy.  Special thanks to my crew, Jabronie Pictures, Detoonified, The Stunt People, Almost Good…

I’d make a pretty awesome Captain Kirk.

San Diego Comic-Con International. The final frontier. This is a voyage of the hardcore geek group STRAWBERRY SCENTED BURNOUT. Its five-year mission (and counting), to seek out new geek endeavors, awesome figurines, cool comic art, dorky cosplay pictures, trippy fights, and to boldly go where no geek has gone before. Does that make me Captain Kirk?…

The NES turns 30

I saw an article on Ars Technica today about the NES. Other than reminding me of how old I really am, it also reminded me of all the good games I played back in those days. Games like Mega Man 2, Double dragon, Dragon warrior 3, Super Mario Bros. (1, 2, and 3) were just…

Late Night Rant: Comic Con Plan of Attack

As Comic Con 2013 approaches, I find myself still scrambling to put together my costumes for each of the days. This is the second year I will be cosplaying and I’m pretty stoked about it. I hope that I am able to put together my costumes on time and I hope that I execute them…

Blink-182’s “First Date”

You know, this is probably my favorite Blink-182 song. Yesterday, I had the chance to spend some time with my family.  And then….it happened.  THE INEVITABLE QUESTIONS. ARE YOU MARRIED? (no) ARE YOU SINGLE? (yes) ARE YOU DATING? (sure, why not?) DO YOU WANT TO TALK TO MY DAUGHTER/NIECE/FAMILY FRIEND/DISTANT RELATIVE FROM MARS? (wha…what!?) It…

San Diego County Fair: Part Two

Catching up on entries… Yay… On Sunday, 6/30, I had the opportunity to check out the fair for a second time this year (and paying only $3 for admission). Though I wanted to try out more food, I didn’t really have the money to spend for it. I’m not too disappointed about it since I…

Geek Eek!!!: Comic Book Universe Dissected

In the July/August 2013 issue of Maxim (in case you were wondering, I get this magazine for free), I surprisingly stumbled upon a tiny column of information regarding a statistical book about the comic book universe. Naturally, I was intrigued as I have always found statistics illuminating and my interest for comics (as well as animes) grows with…

Happy birthday, Tales! The quintessential JRPG franchise.

I know this is rather late in coming, but I’d like to wish a happy 15th birthday to the Tales franchise.  For 15 years, Namco Bandai’s JRPG franchise has produced some solid hits that I’ve taken a shine to.  To me, they’re the proper, quintessential JRPG.  What makes this franchise stand out, and makes them…

Nekomonogatari Episode 1 – Crabs and Tigers

I’ll put more screencaps up later.  So far this is shaping up to be a wonderful anime season.
