I returned home at about 4:30 yesterday, unpacked, ordered some pizza and played some WoW. Today is my ‘recovery day’… something i learned to appreciate early on in my Con-going career.
Dragon*Con was, of course, amazing. 60,000 people all in downtown Atlanta over 4 skyscraper hotels. even as crowded and hectic as everything was, everyone was so nice, so polite and so helpful. Everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves and i neither heard of nor saw ANY sort of trouble making or strife.
There was quite a bit of fun to be had.. and not all of it explicitly Con related. i can’t imagine the number of gallons of alcohol that were consumed by the nightlife of this Con. I had read somewhere that “ComicCon is nerd prom… DragonCon is geek Mardi Gras”, and that certainly has its merits.
Its going to take DAYS for me to process all that i saw, all that happened and all the little stories i have to tell about that amazing weekend.

ReArmed was released yesterday!
Bionic Commando was always one of the fucking coolest game concepts ever and it certainly shaped my budding creativity when i was a kid. ReArmed looks EXACTLY how i always dreamed a remake would look. Is it wrong that i’m looking more forward to the remake, than the new game itself?

Quantum Entanglement in particles, or “Spooky action at a distance” as Einstein called it, is one of the most intriguing mysteries about reality in today’s world.
How much deeper does the rabbit hole of reality go, i wonder? IS there an end? or are we, like Sisyphus, damned to constantly push harder and harder, only to never complete the task? What IS the underlying nature of reality?

On MARS. That’s right.. we finally did it. We have physical evidence of water ice just under the soil on Mars.
Let the search for life, past or present, begin!

Awesome site! I need some of these shirts…
In that vein, lets look at some history, shall we? its hard to believe that there are STILL idiots in the modern world that are fighting some of the basic tenets of science.
