As I mentioned earlier, I'm hosting another video game panel at a local convention here in Orlando. Originally when I became a part of it I suggested my usual video game trivia show, but they didn't seem overly interested. Ultimately it was decided I'd run a classic cartoon showroom instead, which was good by me. However, it turns out there's going to be a bigwig from EA Sports who will be attending, and he's going to talk about that cancelled basketball game they didn't release from a few years back. Since they had him, now they asked if I'd throw down with a video game panel too. Yikes! I'm still happy to do it, but that only leaves me a little over a month to get my shit together. Needless to say I'm a bit nervous.

So with that being said it's time to break out the little black book and find out if I know anyone in the business anymore. I know my Atlus contact left. I'm crossing my fingers my Capcom one is still around. In the meantime I have to start hitting the phones and internet again for contact info. If anyone would like to place their bets on who writes me back, who helps me out, and who says fuck you, this will be the place.

Sega has "respectfully declined." So now its time to reply with the bag of dicks question.

If you have an account it should work fine.

Apparently it helps when you go to the right site. I went to gamepress.com. Finally realized there's another S in there. Anyway thank you. This place is a gold mine.

You've got a pretty decent convention in your own backyard in just a few weeks. Florida SuperCon is at the Miami Convention center I think. They've got a good guest list too. Jason Momoa and a few other Game of Thrones actors if I'm not mistaking. Plus they've got a good group running it. Always fun stuff going on there.
