I usually visit at least a couple cons each year. One of the cons that has been in my rotation for almost a decade is the Seattle-based anime convention, Sakura-Con. This year was no exception.

I headed down with my buddy as I always do and we took plenty of photos of the cosplayers, many of which were dressed as videogame characters.

In addition to writing articles for WingDamage, I sometimes write comic books. This weekend is Seattle’s own ConventoCon GeekStravaganza, Emerald City ComiCon. These two facts have converged to bring me to the people on March 13th and 14th (check out my pics from last year).

The worlds of comic book nerds and gamer geeks has long since crossed over, and this is a great opportunity for all of us to come together to hang out for the weekend. Emerald City ComiCon is a great convention for finding awesome new stuff you’ve never heard of, meeting your favorite creators, or even seeing hot shot geek celebrities in the flesh.

"PAX.... In SPACE!"

On a very special episode thirty of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast” we have Wes, Jesse, and Jonah all in the same room for only the second time. This episode is extra long and full of our hands-on impressions of all the games we played, video demonstrations we saw, and panels we attended at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, WA.

As we’ve already mentioned, several members of the WingDamage crew will be attending PAX in Seattle… TODAY! We will do our best to deliver hands-on impressions of as many unreleased games as our rag-tag crew can handle.

Most (if not all) of our coverage on the site will probably have to wait until Monday when we actually have time to sit at a computer and gather our thoughts, but that doesn’t mean you have to be out of the loop until then. Where there’s phones, there’s Twitter. Head past the break for a list of the Twitter accounts for the attending staff members.

I just got back from the Seattle-based anime convention, Sakura-Con. For me, it has been a tradition to attend every year since 2002 (I think). One of my favorite things to do there is take pictures of all the different cosplayers. The last couple years, I have even taken to doing a bit of cosplay myself. In the photo above, you can see me, dressed as Little Mac (Punch-Out!), in a furious battle with Strong Bad.

"Emerald City ComiCon Bound!"

Don’t forget, most of the Wing Damage crew will be at Emerald City Comicon this weekend (April 4th and 5th).

We are mostly there to promote my all-ages adventure comedy graphic novel, Here There Be Robots. For sale at the booth will be copies of our trade paperback (collecting issues 1-3, the mini, the promo, and more!), our fourth full issue, T-shirts, stickers, buttons, and more!

But that is not all, oh no my friends.
