Comic-Con 2013: On the Deck of the Jackdaw – Black Flags in the Sunset

ComicCon-logoOne of the highlights of this year’s Comic-Con adventure was, without a doubt, getting to wander the decks of the Jackdaw after the sun set on San Diego. To help promote the upcoming Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Ubisoft converted the Star of India (the world’s oldest active sailing ship) into a replica of the Jackdaw for a weekend of pirate themed debauchery. Once the sun went down big names like Hideo Kojima, Henry Cavill, Jennifer Morrison, Aaron Eckhart, and more showed up to mingle with fans, eat some grub, and enjoy the view. The three decks of the ship were each populated with different activities and fans of the game could even get their hands on the multiplayer portion of Assassin’s Creed IV (on the PS4). Cosplayers dressed as Edward Kenway, Blackbeard, and an assortment of characters from the upcoming title wandered the decks while posing for pictures and making the ship feel that much more authentic. I sincerely hope Ubisoft finds some way to bring a pirate ship to Comic-Con every year.

Comic-Con 2014: Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor with Troy Baker

Comic-Con-LogoI was lucky enough to talk to the cast and creators of Monlith’s upcoming action adventure RPG Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego. Myself and other members of media peppered Michael de Plater (Director of Design), Christian Cantamessa (Lead Writer), and Troy Baker (voice of Talion), with questions about the upcoming title which is set to launch on September 28th. Baker, who gamers might recognize from starring roles in The Last of Us and Bioshock: Infinite, had some interesting things to say about the voicing the game’s protagonist Talion and just how important Tolkien’s work is to nerds everywhere.

Comic-Con 2011: Mass Effect March – Spectres Vs. Zombies

While wandering the streets we happened to run into the 2011 Comic-Con zombie walk which was as confusing for them as it was for us.  Honestly, there was something incredibly gratifying about stabbing a fake-zombie with my fake omni-blade. Check out the video below.
