Conversations with IrishPride Episode 20

/
Hello everybody and welcome to another edition of Conversations with IrishPride.  It's been awhile since our last episode of CwIP, so I'm hoping this one will make up for the break.  Today I'm going to talk about Nintendo and how almost every other video game site are absolutely bashing them and saying how they lost E3.  Well, I'm here to actually defend Nintendo and explain to all the other "giant" video game sites that you are absolutely wrong.

Denver Comic Con - It Has Come (Almost)

/

It has come. Tomorrow the first ever Denver Comic Con starts. At 6:00 PM MT the geeks will descend upon the Colorado Convention center to see stars, play games, and spend money that was meant for bills and rent. So what is there really all to see? Well no promises on filling it all here, but I will try.

1) Gaming (of course this is first, this is a video game blog afterall).

Colorado Cutthroat Connection (C3) will have tournaments on site. There will also be card games such as Magic and Pokemon. And for you HeroClix fans check out page 14 of the program to see the schedule for game times.

2) Guests

For their first year Denver Comic Con has done a great job at getting top notch guests. They have Colin Ferguson (Jack Carter - Eureka), James Marsters (Spike - Buffy), Billy West (Fry, Farnsworth, Zoidberg - Futurama), and Aaron Douglas (Chief Petty Officer Galen Tyrol - Battlestar Galactica). This is only a VERY small list and does not include the super impressive list of comic book artists and voice actors.

3) Events

Costume contests, Manga Panels and signings, there are enough panels to keep you busy all weekend, and so many they actually spilled into the nearby hotel. Friend of site Angichan has two panels, one Saturday and one Sunday about Getting Started in Webcomics. 

Now this, as I said, is by no means everything that is happening at the convention. There is so much to see. For more you can get the program guide at http://www.denvercomiccon.com/programming/, or to save them some bandwidth you can get it here as well.

Nintendo Land - E3 Preview

/
When a new system is introduced into the wild it needs something to show what it can do. When it introduces a new game mechanic you need it even more. This is what Nintendo Land is for the Wii U. Nintendo Land is going to be a series of 12 games that are situated in an amusement park setting. The majority of these are party games meant for a 3 to 5 people, but there are some single player games for those of us that don't have the time to gather a ton if people around (otherwise know as an adult).
