Playable Games at NYCC

Last year a lot of video game companies showed up to NYCC to give us hands on, and preview coverage to their games.   Unfortunately many of the large companies that were here last year like Sony and Microsoft aren’t showing up.  I was hoping to get my hands on Titan Fall, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen.  When I arrive at the con, the first thing I will probably do is head straight for the Ubisoft booth to try out Watch Dogs.

NYCC: Robot Chicken

     Many moons ago I came across a funny little stop-motion series called “Sweet J Presents”. A  funny little spot of stop-motion animated toys involved in skits that rode the edges of pop-culture, random acts of violence, and kindergarten level fart jokes. Well, Sweet J grew up (sort of) and built a robot. Then that robot was attached to a chicken. Then it went back to business as usual, albeit with a bigger budget with which to buy more toys. Robot Chicken is now a phenomena unto itself with massive DVD sales of their Star Wars specials, the upcoming release of the new DC Comics special they did, and the newly announced resurrection of the show for a seventh season!!  Continue reading
