In my previous blog entry, I said that despite having a great time at the famed San Diego Comic Con in 2008, I didn't think we were going to be able to attend in 2009. Y'see, the SDCC is THE premiere Comic Con event in the world. Oh sure, there are other up and comers, but due to the fact it has been around 40 years, always brings in the top companies, artists, writers, etc in the industry and, due to San Diego's proximity to Hollywood, they get to bring in some big name movie and television stars to the show (See picture of Fernando, Hiro & Mike). Due to its massive popularity, any space inside the convention center is booked years in advance, so it did not look like we would be a part of the Con this year.
Then, earlier this year, the main force behind the EA booth invited Dragon Age: Origins to be part of the booth along with some other great EA titles (like Dante's Inferno and Brutal Legend). Naturally, I jumped at the chance and began to plan our presence in the EA booth. Due to the fact that space was limited and that EA has many great games coming out this year, we were only going to be able to have 2 kiosks available for fans to play the game at. While this was a little disappointing, it did mean our fans would get to play Dragon Age: Origins and, I would get to return to Comic Con this year.
