I didn't meet this guy at Comic-Con -- I met him yesterday afternoon in front of the Firehouse on Rose Ave. and Main Street in Santa Monica. He just walks around like this. Very cool.

Badge Guy -- Thursday, 7.23, 8:15 am.

Downloaded the Comic-Con iPhone app while waiting on the plane yesterday morning.

Bruno ads are still on buses!

Inside a Starbucks adjacent to San Diego's titanic/gargantuan convention center -- Thursday, 7.23, 11:25 am.

I stayed in this little dumpy place last night, partly because I like old places and partly because it only cost $69 plus tax. I'm calling it the Bates Motel. No hot water in the shower, smelled like stale cigarettes and spilled beer. I love places like this, but I'm staying someplace cleaner this evening because I really do need hot water in the morning.

In line for Comic-Con press credentials -- Thursday, 7.23.09, 8:35 am.

Is that Diablo Cody with the cat ears? (I kid, I kid!)

you like those kind of sleazy motels? Me too, but I can only tolerate staying there for just one night before I bolt somewhere else for a nice, hot shower.

No Diablo Cody is out of frame working the counter (I keeeeeeed!).

This ought to be quite the entertaining read over the weekend in HE-land...

Oh, Christ...now fucking Final Fantasy VII has even infected Jeff's column. One of the most overrated, fanboy-blowjobbed, rose-tinted-adolescent-nostalgia-revered, piece-of-shit games ever made.

If anyone disagrees with me that Final Fantasy VI wasn't superior, I know a sweaty, hairy, 400-pound convict who'd love to man-rape you.

...And yes, the Blu-Ray cut of Watchmen is indeed the shit. Looking forward to Zack's Saturday night commentary session.

Aerith from Final Fantasy VII, Felicia from Darkstalkers, and a rather crappy-looking Ryu from Street Fighter series. That's all you got so far? Jeez, I hope the eye candy improves there. Even Otakon rocked with some impressive costumes and ladies walking around.

And, yes, FFVI is the superior one. The opera scene will rule forever...

I think that's supposed to be Ken not Ryu per the outfit colors, but it's not like they weren't the same character anyway.

Agreed on the general crappiness of his thread-count.

I always wondered whatever happened to Marjory the Trash Heap. Now I know.

Oops, yeah, I guess that is supposed to be Ken. Still, the thread-count is pretty bad. At least he should put on a blonde wig and shave that goatee to be more recognizable.
