Loot Drops from SDCC: Film Trailers

Hey there, Gamelings!

SDCC has been insane this year and we're going to cover the news that drops in our new news  series: Loot Drops!

This one is dedicated to the movie excitement that has been generated with all of the film trailers that have been released so far!

First up we have "Godzilla: King of the Monsters"!!!!

This has generated the most buzz this year! This is due, in part, to the phenomenal trailer and extensive star power! There's no doubt that the combination of nostalgia, for the older audience, and popular stars, for the younger audience, has shot this monster movie to the top of everyone's list. 

For those of us in the mid-range age-wise, I'm sure we're just hoping not to have another 1998 fiasco on our hands...

Please...PLEASE....

Next up, garnering less buzz than our friend Godzilla but still kicking up quite a fuss, is Aquaman!

Fans have shied away from DC live action for a while now. Marvel seems to rule those waters, these days. I know that I, personally, have had issues staying true to even my favourite DC hero, Batman. This film, however, is showing the DC Film Universe turning with the tide. This promises to be a noteworthy experience in the very least!

Potterheads rejoice!

The trailer for Fantastic Beast: The Crimes of Grindelwald has dropped!!

Who is ready to fly back into the magical potterverse?! I certainly am and I cannot wait to see what this adventure holds for Newt Scamander!
Also, Who has the same fear as Newt? Working in an office? Just me? Show of hands.

Next up: Shazam!

Deadpool ushered in the age of the anti-hero. Not exactly a hero... But not exactly a villain either. In a world that, these days, feels more and more divided society leans on the Anti-hero that seems to thrive on Chaotic Neutral energy and a sense of humour.

Shazam seems to continue these trends in the best way and channels every kid's desire to be a superhero. Verdict: Relate-able AF.

Rounding out the movie trailers released so far is Glass!

The star power in this film is incredible and it continues the superhero/supervillain theme! I am personally extremely excited about this one! While the buzz about it has been kept mostly to a dull murmuring, I have no doubt that this movie will blow people away! Also, I am hoping for at least one "motherfucker"....

That's all we have for now!

Check back soon for more Loot Drops! 

Until next time,

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!

The Heart Is Heavy, Gamelings.

Long time no blog, Gamelings!
Unfortunately I had to get a real job.
[-Adulting intensifies-]

I am back, though, now that my life has mellowed out a bit!

Some news on the home-game-front:
We will NOT be covering Keen Halloween this year due to financial issues.

We WILL, however, cover it next time!
I mean, come on, as a blog we are still in our infancy.

We are baby bloggers in a way.
 So that's the bad news...

no Keen Halloween coverage this year. 

We are still working on making it to Phoenix Comicon Fan Fest this year and we definitely hope to see you all there!!!
