Edmonton Comic Con

This weekend was the first Edmonton Expo. I was impressed with the turn out considering the short prep time and notice of the con.

One booth there that I wish I had taken a picture of was for TUGS, any nerd from Drumheller would know that name. That place brings back memories of pogs, Marvel trading cards and Spawn comics.

All in all the con was fun, it was also the first time I had dressed up for a con. Judging by the number of times I was stopped for pictures I would say it was a success.

Pictures after the jump, check em out.

Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo 2012

Last weekend was the annual Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. A weekend for nerds, geeks, dweebs and the like to come together for a weekend of entertainment, enlightenment, frivolous spending, amazing costuming and above all else, a chance to be ourselves and not have to worry about the ridicule from the "cool kids". 

I know plenty of people who would laugh, mock or otherwise scoff at the idea of such a convention being fun or popular.

To you I say, take my hand and follow me down the rabbit hole, into the wonderful world of cons, cosplay and creativity....

How to protect the ones you love...

Along with the ESRB all 3 systems have some level of parental controls that are accessible through the systems main menus. These can help you manage what content is accessible on the system and allow you to put in some form of password to protect it. I will give a brief explanation on the Nintendo and Playstation controls, along with a link to all 3's web site's parental control pages. I will go into more depth with the Xbox's as that is not only my personal system, but also because I think it is the better of the three for control.
