The con is over. Good times were had. Jonah posted his pics here. I went in not planning on buying anything, but sure enough I came back with 5 trades and a shirt =P I ended up grabbing the Hsu and Chan trade as well as all 4 of the Penny Arcade books (they had a sale).

I’ve been playing this game “The World Ends With You” quite a bit. For those who aren’t familiar its a Square-Enix ARPG for ds set in modern day japan. First off, I just have to say that it is definitely worth picking up because it is awesome. Second, it has this feature where if you set the game in “mingle mode” and close the ds you can rack up experience for your pins (similar to materia in ff7) with other players (even if theyre playing a different ds game wirelessly). In addition to that, anybody who you run into will have a shop where you can buy copies of the stuff they currently have equipped and when you do it will actually give them the money for it. So lucky for me lots of people were slotting this game during the con and I was able to rack up a ton of experience, money and rare items just from walking around the con while other people were doing the same. A pretty sweet system really.

I’ll be hanging out at Emerald City Comic Con tomorrow if anybody’s in the area. My 2 brothers that run Random Pirate Comics have a table down there so I’m gonna keep ‘em company Saturday and see how the con is in its new location. Geoffio will be there too, both days I think, but I’m only going Saturday.

I had kind of a scare last night when trying to remaster Passion. There was a problem finding my original source files for the song. For a sec I thought I wouldn’t be able to do anything with it and I wasn’t too happy. Luckily, it all worked out in the end. I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s sounding much better. The kick is so much more punchy now and that is making a ton of difference.
