How to prepare for battle (aka getting a ticket)

  • Read Matt’s coverage of the process : Comic Con Tickets: A Saga
  • Wake up early and refreshed; patience leads to victory
  • Have a few computers with a solid internet connection. This is a race, and you want to win.
  • Have the pages loaded up before registration goes live. Hit refresh when it’s time, and go from there.
  • Have your credit card and personal information on hand. You’ll only have one shot at this, don’t screw up.
  • Click here, and good luck

Now, why would anyone go to all this trouble for a ticket to a silly convention? Well it’s everything a nerd could possibly love under 1 roof. This video pretty much sums it up. Tipping my hat to Machinima for one of the only solid 2010 coverage videos that I could find.

NA HACKERS SKATE

Blizzard Hacked Again! Are Virtual Goods Worth Too Much?

With the addition of Battle.net and authenticators, one would think that the age of mass password hacks would be over, sadly they are not. With virtual gold that’s often times worth more than some actual real world currencies, hacking a World of Warcraft or Diablo account can be worth a lot of REAL money. For instance in China, the average person is currently making around 665 Yuans a month or $104 U.S. (source) . This would mean that the theft of $100,000 WOW gold could net a Blizzard account pirate a month’s pay in China (as the average exchange rate is $10 for 10,000 WOW gold). If no market existed, the hacking wouldn’t be half as bad as it is today

PAX: The “Other” Us – best panel ever?

Conventions have a lot to offer, blisters, PAX pox, XXL T-shirts, and… inspiration? While the other aforementioned items are common at conventions, “The Other Us” panel at PAX East was one of the most moving and inspirational panels I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing… Maybe the Earth isn’t doomed after all?

    I still don’t know if I’m going to go…I really dont have the money but if I buy a ticket I’ll find the money.

    I was really hoping he’d play up his stereotype a bit more and wear the aviators throughout the entire piece.

    Just some clarification – because I wouldn’t want your readers to miss the actual ticket sales: SDCC 2011 tickets go on sale at 9am on Saturday, February 5. (Not the 9th, as your headline states.)
