Yesterday we got the press release below from the people behind the Guinness Book of World Records: Gamer’s Edition. I, personally, love when someone assembles a list like this. It is a great way to get people talking, often loudly and irately, about who their favorite characters are and what makes a character great. Analyzing the list, though, one thing strikes me. Gamers, it seems, have got a long memory.
For the second year in a row, BrainLazy heeded the call and headed down to one of the biggest geek gatherings the East Coast has to offer, the New York Comic Con. It is a rare chance to join up with pop culture gurus and socially awkward dweebs and quietly convince ourselves we belong in Column A, not Column B. As usual, it didn’t disappoint, bringing us plenty of news in the only areas that matter: Games, Comics, Movies, and Assorted Nerdery. Let’s break it down and see what made Comic Con great this year, shall we?
Recently I was talking about an upcoming enhancement to an excellent web game called Super Meat Boy. One half of the design team is a fellow called Edmund McMillen. He’s a game designer, legendary in the Indie community, who has helped create some of the most creative and memorable games of the last few years, so I mention him a lot. The problem is, I didn’t call him Edmund McMillen. I called him Edward Cullen. Repeatedly. It would be bad enough that I’d gotten his entire name wrong, but Edward Cullen is the sparkly vampire from Twilight. That’s not just a slip of the tongue. That’s a symptom.
