PMX 08 Recap

Cricket

Pacific Media Expo (PMX) is similar event to Anime Expo (AX): experiencing Japanese pop culture, especially Anime. Both events have cosplayers. But this is where the similarities end. While Anime Expo has become a huge event every July 4th weekend, Pacific Media Expo is on its last legs. But just because PMX is on its deathbed, didn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it.

I Dream of Autumn

Autumn Dream 08

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend a local convention by the name of Autumn Dream, at the Lancaster Fairgrounds Poppy Pavilion, October 18-19.

Due to work I was unable to stay the whole event. I will brief you on some quick history of this convention. In previous years this convention has gone by the name of Ani-magic and was held for a typical con period(a full weekend). Due to some unknown force and situations this convention had to be revamped and redone to the current conception.

NerdSociety Video: E for All 2008 Coverage

John Spartan

This one’s called Gaming with Tentacles. Check out the Tentacle Brothers as they infiltrate E for All 2008, with interviews from the The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters cast, Steve Wiebe and Walter Day, cosplayers, PMS girls, Mana Potion dudes, and more.

We tried to get as much Gears of War 2 footage, but was stopped by Microsoft personnel. We did get to play Guitar Hero World Tour though. I feel it’s the same as Rock Band, but I was singing to Everlong by Foo Fighters, Eye of the Tiger by Survivor, and What I’ve Done by Linkin Park.

Did you know? This video actually makes E for All look better than what it really is, teehee =D

E For All 2008 Recap

Cricket

E For All Interview

It looks like this will be the second and final year for E for All. What was supposed to be E3 for the public, turned out to be an embarrassing event. While E3 reached 70,000 in attendance in its peak, E for All would be greatful if they reached 10,000. Besides Microsoft, Ubisoft and EA showing up at the event, no other big video game were to be seen. You know the event is a failure when Target has a bigger booth than Microsoft and Ubisoft.

E For All - Line
Long line

Anime Expo 2008 Part 4: The Finale

John Spartan

Anime Expo was truly a blast. Here we have the finale of Anime Expo 2008. The Tentacle Brothers say farewell and meets up with more nerds, a tentacle artist, Hawaiian Jason, crossplayers, Pac-Man’s ghosts, a Yaoi fan, pimp Mario, Tetris block, and plenty of tentacle fans (especially the last one). Hopefully you guys enjoy it as much as we enjoyed covering it.

Tune in the next time when the Tentacle Brothers party it up at E for All, the bastard child of E3!
