jetpack_monkey | Tired from Con (Reply)

Epic weekend at Phoenix Comicon. Some key moments:

Wil Wheaton flailing wildly as he told the story of a deep, personal connection he built with a video game NPC that happened to have his voice, and the tragic outcome when said NPC was shot and killed.
LeVar Burton leading an entire auditorium in a "Reading Rainbow" theme song singalong.
Jonathan Frakes learning the verb "to Riker" (to attempt, successfully or unsuccessfully, to mate with an alien woman, as opposed to "to Kirk" which only describes successful attempts)
HAL 9000 conversing with Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood (using recorded dialog from 2001: A Space Odyssey
Being harassed by R2-D2 on the vendor floor
Buying a Green Latern ring (Green Lantern powers not included)
Having a blast as a panelist
Watching with increasing horror as the Twilight panel (I was waiting for the next panel) presented a "history" of vampires in cinema, getting many key points completely effing wrong and essentially saying that Edward Cullen was the perfect culmination of an otherwise flawed subgenre
Buying a couple awesome prints, including one of Nosferatu and another of a hitchhiking Deadpool
For the second year in a row, the McFarlane King Kong figure was snaked out from under me, but I did manage to get the Gort Wacky Wobbler
Chibi Cyberman art print
James Marsters using surfer speak to describe how MacBeth should be played
Felicia Day hating your face (you know who you are), via her Internet Lawyer Wil Wheaton
Buying a random longbox of comics for the second year in a row. This year was heavy on the X-titles

Pictures going up on Facebook soonish.
