Creating A Con

Hey there, 

Hi there,

Ho there Gamelings!

I know it has been quite a while since our last post!
What were we thinking???

We missed you!
Did you miss us?

ANYWAY...

Since we've been gone for so long a lot has happened.
The most notable of these events is that we, my friend Diedre and I, got to go to Phoenix Comicon Fan Fest! It was wonderful! We met so many wonderful vendors like Sparkle Monster, Project Pinup, tandy leather, Tech Shop, Steam Crow, Phoenix Escape Room, Frank and Nats Armory, Kiki Jenkins, The Subtle Geek, Look Cuter, and Art Dimes.We also saw a few wonderful charities there like Kids Need to Read, and Comicare!

Here's a taste of the wonderful cosplays we saw there:

That being said, and shown, we would DEFINITELY love to go again! The atmosphere was electric. The people you met treated you like family. This is definitely the kind of community that people want to be a part of.

This sense of community was wonderful but so far away. I brought this up to the club that I am the president of at Cochise College, Digital Media Arts Club (DMAC). Everyone agreed unanimously. But how do we fix that?

The answer came to me immediately and I put it to the club: Should we create our own comicon?
The response that I received was mind-blowing.

Immediately we set to work.

We set a date and time.
We chose a location.
We contacted vendors, panelists, and exhibitors.
We put the word out there for Cosplayers.
This is happening.

So, without any further ado, I present to you:

COCHISE COLLEGE COMIC CON

We are still accepting applications for Vendors, Panelists, and Exhibitors!

The applications are open until March 17th!
For ticket and vendor information, please visit OUR WEBSITE!!!!

I look forward to seeing you there!

Lightning, Water, Fire, and Air! We Love Our Eevee-Lutions and We Don't Care!

Pokemon Go has created a lot of buzz (both negative and positive).
The memes alone number in the thousands at LEAST!
Along with such a craze is sure to come rumors, theories, and conspiracies.

The latest theory seems a bit far-fetched but who knows? Maybe it works.

This theory suggest that, in order to obtain the Eevee-lution that you desire (between jolteon, flareon, and vaporeon), you must nickname the Eevee Sparky, Pyro, or Rainer.

That's right...
You have to name the Eevee after the original Eevee trainers, The Eevee Brothers, to obtain that type of Eevee-Lution.



Redditor SmithNigel came up with the theory and made this post to inform people.

PSA - How to force your Eevee to evolve into your choice of Eeveelution! from pokemongo

After receiving, what seems to be, a massively positive response the theory seems to have some solid base. It will only work once for each Eevee-Lution, though, it would seem.
Have you tied this theory out?
Did it work for you?
Let us know in the comments!
We will update this post with each experience!




Update: Our very own writer Bri has confirmed that this works!!!! Here is a ScreenCap of her Jolteon!

Update #2: We have an anonymous comment that confirms that it works but only the first time!

Wait, They Don't Catch You Like I Catch You. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaps. Wait...

THE MAPS ARE FINALLY HERE 

While searching the web this evening trying to see if anyone has started tracking their Pokemon sighting at all, I stumbled across something called PokeCrew. It is a map that piggybacks off of Google Maps to give a startlingly accurate world map where people all over the world are reporting their Pokemon sightings. All you have to do is look up your location, and see what people in your area are finding. I highly recommend creating a free account yourselves and reporting your findings as well, as helping other trainers out is the wonderfully nice thing to do! 

You can find the PokeCrew maps →  HERE  ←   

HAPPY HUNTING

Prey for the Gods... OMG!!

A new game project by No Matter Studios, Prey for the Gods, has hit Kickstarter!
This game is very much made in the style of Shadow of the Colossus and is even a survival-ish game!
So, in this game,  you seem to be this sprightly individual, running about on a desolate island in the snow, trying to survive, and fighting titan-like god-creatures.
According to the kickstarter, these creatures are gods... but not just any gods.. YOUR GODS.
The Gods that YOU believe in.
And you have to kill them to survive.
Cool in a sad way, right?

If the premise doesn't hook you, maybe the graphics will! Take a look.

Beautiful, isn't it?

The Kickstarter hopes to raise $300,000 for this project and are currently at around $89,000. This campaign only has 29 days left so I would recommend donating soon!
With cool donation intensives such as: digital download of the finished game, T-shirts, your own fallen character in the game, your own statue in the game, art books, physical maps of the island, and so much more, they make it worth your while to donate! If you would like to do so or just want to check out their Kickstarter you can do so HERE!

Angry Gamer Rant #2 (WTF Nintendo)

Sooooo, as of July 5th 2016 Pokemon Go has been officially released! 

….. 

In AUSTRALIA 

….. 

REALLY??!?!?! Wanna know what kind of pokemon they are getting over there? 

Hahahah No seriously tho, I have several awesome friends in Australia that I love dearly. And I’m glad that Nintendo finally did the right thing and gave the Aussies something first, rather than making them wait several months, or even years before they could play something. But come on Nintendo…. 

In an age when your friends that know you best are just a “click away” Why did you not opt for a simultaneous, worldwide release?  I get that your servers would have totally crashed in a fiery explosion that would have rivaled that of Krakatoa, but that would have been a wait that we could have dealt with, not making the rest of the world cry while we wait as impatiently as a toddler that has been told that they can eat their weight in candy… in five minutes. 

WHY, NINTENDO WHY?! 

**UPDATE**

Pokemon Go is ours now and we could not be happier.

Kojima and Sony sitting in a tree, G-A-M-I-N-G.

Hideo Kojima has announced a partnership with Sony Playstation!
THIS IS NOT A DRILL!



In the middle of Sony's E3 stage show waving and smiling. He created his own video game production company after his fallout with Konami and Sony Playstation is the first public partnership that we, the fans, have been privy to! So, naturally, as he walked out he was greeted with applause, oohs, aahs, and the occasional weeping fan!



In a private, secluded room behind Sony's E3 stage Kojima shared his thoughts on his unfortunate past and how things are going for him now:

"Last year I had some difficult circumstances and my family was telling me: you're old, you should retire now and take it easy. Fortunately a lot of fans around the world are waiting for my games so I decided I wanted to keep making games. I established my own company and within two-and-a-half months we were able to make a teaser and deliver something to the people, finally.

"And seeing the reaction of the people - most people seemed to like it - made me feel really good that I made the right choice. My decision was correct."

If you are unfamiliar with the trailer that he is referring to, here it is:



Cool, right?
In sort of a creepy, strange, I-Never-Want-To-See-That-Again-But-Play-It-On-Repeat kind of way.

Yes, you are correct, that is The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus.

Here he is seen in much the same position as our beloved Kit Harrington (Jon Snow) was not too long ago! We have so many wonderful people coming to phenomenal games thanks to this awesome technology! Now all we need is a Supernatural game with our ladyboners Jensen, Jared, and Misha!



So, xbox fans, I am sorry to say that it does not look like Kojima games will be coming to you YET.
Here's to hoping that they come out on PC and Xbox soon, too!

Here's the Sony and Kojima announcement video!
Enjoy, my friends!
