Hey all! What up?
I had a lot of fun playing Skylanders Giants this weekend. So far, on the giants side I’m really digging Tree Rex. Trigger Happy and Cynder still rock. I haven’t tried enough of the new characters to decide who I like best. Jet Vac looks cool though.
Reunion Stellaire was this weekend. I’m going to try to focus on the positive here (long story). I met some great people…and some stars too. Melanie, Alex, Caroline and Marc-Antoine (as well as Mary-Ann from Ottawa), you made my Saturday a lot more fun than it should have been.
Jewel Staite is now minimally aware of Age of Animus’ existence. Jewel is obviously a lot prettier than Adam Baldwin, but I was kind of underwhelmed with my interaction with her which is a shame since I was most looking forward to meeting her. To be honest, she didn’t seem to be into the weekend…at least not the activities which didn’t involve drinking, which are the only activities I attended. I ended up passing up my opportunity to have my picture taken with her (again, long story).
Brandon Routh on the other hand was really nice. I had to pay extra (compared to the other stars in attendance) to get his autograph and a picture with him but he was friendly to me (not that the others weren’t, but Brandon seemed more genuine), which is always appreciated.
It shows that Richard Hatch is a motivational speaker and a teacher. He was the most inspiring of the panelists this weekend. Of course, the others weren’t asked that many questions that lent themselves to inspiring answers but what have you? If I had gone back on Sunday (same long story) maybe I would have had the nerve to challenge him to thumb wrestle (he’s an uncrowned champ at it).
The other stars…were there, (except for Michael Hogan who had to leave early).
In site news, Friday was the reveal of sorts of what Project AW is going to be. Did you check it out? Go ahead and check the archives. I’ll wait. Back? Good. So now you should know that I’m doing a Star Wars parody. Not incredibly inventive, but I hope you enjoy it.
So that’s all for this week. See you all next week!
