Titan Games Kalamazoo

Tomorrow is our Warhammer Gods of Chaos Tournament at Titan Games. We are so excited! Iv been watching our Warhammer crowd come in and play each other for a year now, and now I get to see them play hard ball! I wish the best of luck to all our participants. Ill be updating the bracket on our website after each game, so those at home can keep an eye on who’s winning.

I love GenCon. The sights, the new people, the excitement! This year did not disappoint me either. Though most the day I was in the booth, I did get a nice taste of the con. I can’t help but notice while I read Marcus’ view on it, that we have very different takes on the who experience (which is not surprising seeing that I am a 23 year college student and he a …slightly older business owner). You can read his GenCon report here.

First Id like to thank the people at the Indy Hostel. They did a wonderful job of making me feel welcome. I had my reserves about staying in a hostel, but I found it a wonderful experience. Its a nice homey feel, and the owners are very friendly.

There was a tidbit of information about the upcoming film 9. 9 is based off a 2005 short film about a sentient rag doll living in the ruins of a decaying world. The full length feature is being produced by Tim Butron and Timur Bekmambetov and is set to hit our theaters on 9.9.2009 (shocker, I know). From all the footage Iv seen, I think this is going to be a good one!

Not a lot was there for video games. We were right across from Atari who was showing off their new game Champions online, due out in September. It looks at lot like City of Heroes. ALOT like it. I honestly thought that’s what I was watching at first. I know that sounds a bit harsh, but I feel like this is just another MMORPG that we have seen before.

I also took note that there was a lot more anime and manga related things this year. Now, I am a huge anime nerd. I love anime. I love watching it. I have a massive collection that would make even the most hard core Otaku fall to his/her knees and weep. I can’t help but stop and ask myself though, is GenCon really the place for that? Do I really want to mix my Dungeons and Dragons with my Gurren Lagann? Do I need Settlers of Catan and an L plush in the same shopping bag?

Lets see what next year brings!
