An Evening With John Barrowman at NYCC.

It’s 6:30pm at NYCC and folks were either at The Walking Dead panel (which I am pretty bummed out that I missed) or the John Barrowman panel.

John entered the stage and the entire room cheered, applauded, and stood up out of their seats in order to get a glimpse at the one and only, John Barrowman. He was bursting with energy, and put a smile on everyone’s face instantly.  John is such a geek fanboy and you could see how appreciative he was that everyone was there for him, and even said, “I didn’t expect that I was going to be so popular here!”

Before he began his Q&A session with the fans, he took out his tablet and announced that at every panel he makes a video to send to his mom & dad (cue the entire room’s “awwwww”).

Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition hands on at NYCC

Back in the day on the original PlayStation, I used to love fighting games.  Tekken 3 was one of my favorites.  Later I played Tekken Tag Tournament, and other subsequent Tekken games, but I never got into them as much as I did with Tekken 3.  My love, and skill with all fighting games has declined over time as they have gotten more and more complicated.  Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition makes playing these types of games fun again for me.
