Really wished I could've gone this year. Too many things I had to do though.
Any big news on the gaming front happen there?
MVS version in 2003. Are you ready?

I don't remember really anything gaming related being announced there. There was a 3D0 panel about some "Horsemen of the Apocolypse" game, but that overlapped with the Hoshi no Koe and Adult Swim one, so I didn't go.
A few booths had video games on display. For example, the Lord of the Rings: Two Towers game, Robotech, Playstation booth had some games, Playstation Online booth had 4 systems networked/connected to the internet for each game being displayed (Twisted Metal Black, and SOCOM)..

Other than the games mentioned in the last post; There was a playable display of an X-Men fighting game. I only looked at it for a few seconds but it reminded me of Mortal Kombat. Probably all the slicing without the character going down, and the way the characters moved back and forth and relative to the camera angle.
The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers game looked like it could be pritty cool. (I think I'd rather read the book again before playing it, ya know?)
In non gaming area: Futurama was verified to have nearly an entire season that Fox hadn't aired yet for some reason. The four completed seasons will one day be on DVD with comentary. They hope Fox is smart enough to order more episodes. If Fox doesn't they will still continue the show in some way, weather it be comic or movie or perhaps more episodes.
And Ray Bradberry is cool.

"Comic-Con GI Joe"
, posted Mon 5 Aug 12:55
By the way, anyone know who the girl was that was playing the Baroness at the GI Joe exhibit? Does anyone have contact information for anyone that was at the GI Joe set up? It was probably the Mattel exhibit, but I would like to contact a human that was at the exhibit instead of Mattel corporate. And NO I'm not stalking that person !! I want to contact her to hire her for the same thing that the GI Joe guys did, but of course for a different character for an appearance next year. I appreciate it if anyone has any leads.

I'm sure it was much more fun... especially since SDCC is so much more organized. That, and I'm sure there wasn't a line to the dealer's room either.
I wish I could have went to SDCC too... I opted to go to AX instead. :(

Yes and yes.
Anime Expo was fun for the first several years, and less and less fun for the last few years.
I went Saturday, and given SDCC is more spread out, but I saw more costumes per person at the last AE than at SDCC. However I enjoyed seeing the wider variety of costumes at SDCC instead of just Japanese companies' characters.

I was bored today so I checked out the Tecmo forums earlier. They're abuzz over one of the characters in the Horsemen game since she's apparently topless. I'm sure this game isn't using that to mask 3DO's usual level of quality...
