Anybody Here Attending BlizzCon? Also, It’s Time For Halloween Suggestions!

Don't forget your fiber, Ozzy!

I'm heading down to Anaheim soon because I'll be doing BlizzCon news coverage once again for Diablofans. Are any of you guys going? I've always loved the Diablo and Starcraft series and they're gonna have Blizzard's latest demos of each upcoming game at the convention. I'm sure some of the old I-Mockery forum members remember some of our long multiplayer games on Battle.net. Glad I dodged that World of Warcraft bullet though... that game seems to swallow people's lives and they're never seen or heard from again. Eugh.

Also, the prince of darkness, Ozzy Osbourne himself, is scheduled to have a concert to close out BlizzCon this year. I have visions of his unconscious, withered ol' body being tied with cables to a forklift and driven out onto the stage while a tape of his vocals are played on top of the backing band's music. Or maybe it'll be more like a marionette situation, with Sharon tugging the strings to make him dance and sing. Should be interesting either way and I'm sure the crowd is gonna eat it up.

In other news, we're starting to gear up for our annual "Two Months of Halloween" celebration which is always my favorite time of year by far. With that in mind, I'm opening up this blog thread for suggestions from all of you. Is there anything you'd like to see us to cover on the site? I'm not just talking movie reviews... I'm also talking toys, costumes, novelties, events, cards, candies, etc. Can't make any promises, of course, but we'd definitely like to hear some of your ideas.

Super Duty Wiener Fork!

SUPER DUTY WIENER FORK!!!!!!!

I couldn't help but notice that somebody in my building had a package left at their door with some amazing text written on it: Super Duty Wiener Fork! I've come home to find some packages left for me that I was really excited about, but I can't imagine the sheer ecstasy one experiences upon coming home to a Super Duty Wiener Fork. Did I mention that the package says SUPER DUTY WIENER FORK on it? Because it does. SUPER DUTY WIENER FORK.

Super Duty Wiener Fork would make a hell of a good band name too.

Discuss.

Doc Mock’s Movie Mausoleum Episode #10 Fixed And Back Online!

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that Episode #10 is back up online completely. There was a problem with part 2 of the episode where it was cutting off about halfway through so people couldn't finish watching it (thanks for letting us know Lonan). Anyway, they've re-encoded and re-uploaded the episode and it seems to be working fine now so you guys can watch the entire thing. Here are the links to each part:

Doc Mock's Movie Mausoleum - Have Mercy: Part I
http://www.thestream.tv/watch.php?v=1651

Doc Mock's Movie Mausoleum - Have Mercy: Part II
http://www.thestream.tv/watch.php?v=1668

Of course, I always recommend checking out each episode when it airs live (we'll be back in September) so you can catch the un-archived post-show moments like this:

A Lil’ Something Until The Big Comic-Con Photo Gallery Is Ready.

We're back from New Orleans and it was a hell of a nice trip. Great food, cool sights, and some really nice people. Thanks to all of you who posted in the blog over the past week with great suggestions for places to check out while we were in town! I'm sure I'll be posting a big photo gallery from that trip at some point, but I do believe I owe you guys a giant San Diego Comic-Con photo gallery first. So while I'm putting the wraps on all those pics with the other guys, I thought I'd help you pass the time by sharing this nice interview that Sam Proof did with us at our Comic-Con booth. The audio is a little wonky in parts due to some people talking about our merch and playing our new game demo in the background 'n all, but I'm sure you'll be able to hear everything aok and you'll get to see some o' Max Burbank, Protoclown and Dr. Boogie as well!

Hope you enjoy the interview and thanks again to Sam for stopping by our booth. And don't worry guys, the gargantuan 28-page Comic-Con photo gallery will be up by mid-week at the latest. This I command!

Cafe Du Mo-Holy Crap! That’s A Lot Of Powdered Sugar!

An order of Beignets from Cafe Du Monde! SUGAR!

Thanks to all of you who've been commenting on my last blog post with great suggestions for things to check out while we're here in New Orleans this week! Since a bunch of you brought up the Beignets from Cafe Du Monde, I decided to check 'em out. As you can see in the photo above, they're pretty insane. Why? Because it appears that the entire world's supply of powdered sugar rests on top of every order. With each order, you get 3 hot 'n tasty beignets that are absolutely covered in powdered sugar. I couldn't even finish it all because it was just so filling. But you guys were right, they're a lot like funnel cakes. Good stuff and thanks for the tip.

Blackened Chicken from The Gumbo Shop! Sssssspicy!

Per the recommendation of a local, we went out for dinner to an awesome little place called The Gumbo Shop. I love me some spicy chicken, and their blackened chicken was just as badass as I had hoped. I covered it in their homemade creole seasoning and pepper blend and cleaned that plate off in a heartbeat. Might have to stop by there again before I leave town. If nothing else, I'm gonna order some of their spices from their web site.

Anywho, I'm heading off for now, but I'm sure I'll have some photos to share with you guys when I get back. And don't worry, I'm still working on the huuuge Comic-Con photo gallery when I'm on a break at the hotel, so that's coming soon.

I'll be checking the blog randomly throughout the week, so keep those suggestions coming for places to see and food to eat! Talk to ya soon. Jambalaya!

p.s.: Sorry if this post made you guys extremely hungry. If you close your eyes and lick your screens, you can almost taste the Cajun flavors.

Well Fill My Gullet With Voodoo Gumbo! We’re Headed To New Orleans!

Off to the land of Cajun Voodoo Gumbo Gators we go!

So I'm headed to New Orleans this week with Re because she was already going to the Siggraph convention being held there and we decided to make a little vacation out of it since neither of us had been there before. With that in mind, I'd like to open up this blog post to hear some suggestions for what we should check out from those of you who've visited or reside in New Orleans. Cool places to see, great restaurants to eat at, best place to buy a voodoo doll to torture my friends with, etc. etc. Please share thy wisdom!

In unrelated news, our huge Comic-Con photo gallery is coming along nicely and should be up sometime early in the week. Trust me, it's easily gonna be the largest gallery from the convention anywhere on the web, so it'll be well worth the wait.
