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.

On a very special fifty-sixth episode of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast”, Jesse and Adam hijack the show to talk about Mega Man 10. I don’t know what it is, but those two really like that little blue robot.

I was all like, “What about Heavy Rain?” And Adam was all, “More like watching a movie with quick time events. Burn!”

Then I cried a single tear.

"Come to the Dark Side... of Fun!"

As those of you that follow the site may know, we are currently having a giveaway for the swag we picked up at this years Emerald City ComiCon. This includes several comics, some pins, a couple of Star Wars action figures, and an exclusive Goon print.

To enter, simply head over to the blog post for episode 10 of “Barrel Roll”, our podcast, and comment in the thread. As we mention in the episode, there is a specific thing that must be contained within the post. Reading the current posts, or looking at the attached image is probably a dead giveaway though.

We will announce a winner on the next episode of the show, which will record Sunday night at 6pm Pacific, so you have to have entered by then to be eligible! What are you waiting for? Go enter!

On an extra special eighth episode of “Barrel Roll! - A Video Game Podcast”, we are up at 1am Sunday night after having a great time at Emerald City ComiCon. Thrill, as we attempt to not fall asleep while doing a con wrap up! Also, live Keytar intro featuring the demo button.

Jerry, who you might know from the Internet as Tycho Brahe, was kind enough to stop by the table. Not only did he pick up a copy of our book, but he was nice enough to do an interview with us as well. We talk about his earliest gaming memories, what he’s playing now, and what’s coming up for Penny Arcade.

But that’s not all!

"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.
