The Comic-Con 2008 Post

...now with less to say than the 2006 Comic-Con posts and not indexed by time...

Whether it comes from convention-goer fatigue or the fact that I was only there for one and one-third days this time, I'm almost thinking that this was not a very impressive event this year. Highlights of Saturday (since all that really happened for me on Friday was getting Lego Street Fighter figures after volunteering with the blood drive) include:

  • Actually playing a match of Street Fighter IV long enough to find that Chun-Li's projectile attack is now a back->forward move instead of a 180 degree motion - after losing round 1 and blocking like hell against a Sagat player for the first half of round 2. Along with that change, the last hit of her multiple-kick super combo apparently has a backflip added on to it, though that may have only been at the highest gauge level.


  • Watching other people play the new Ghostbusters game, Crysis Warhead, the Warhammer MMO, and some other things I don't remember yet.


  • Playing the next Castlevaina game on DS (which I found to be better than Castlevania Judgment), Megaman 9, Soul Calibur IV (the only thing really gathering crowds at Namco's booth), and the new Bionic Commando.


  • Wondering whether or not to buy a few things and in the end leaving almost empty-handed:

    • The Revoltech Yotsuba figure (at page bottom on the right) - declined since I wanted the sold-out Danboard figure (at page bottom on the left) more.

    • Something of Yuki Nagato - declined since the only thing I found that wasn't in the "mystery prize" category was $30 and the booth didn't take debit.



  • The Mythbusters panel, where the hosts answered a few questions and showed some clips of next season's stuff and of "sobering up myths" (including a slow-mo slap to the face and very bad results from running on a treadmill while drunk).

  • The Masquerade, while slightly different than the last time I saw it, was still entertaining enough with "Nintendont's Brawl: The Musical" among other things. I only wish we could've seen the remains of the costume that spontaneously combusted or at least been told what it was...

Hillbilly Toothpick may term used for penis sizegenetics that have been removed and utilized for toothpicks or decoration (mainly on baseball and cowboy hats). Typically they're just the penis sizegenetics from raccoons. They aren't used much for toothpicks any longer, but this form of penis sizegenetics utilization can still be seen adorning people's hats.Sound crazy? Well, I guess that relies upon your point of view. What exactly are penis sizegenetics? That's a better question: Penis sizegenetics will be the sizegenetics that are found in all of the mammals that can help them create an sizegenetics.
