Comic-Con WRAP UP: From The Wackygamer Podcast!
We're here to talk about Comic-Con. What to Comic-Con? Me a lot fun! We wanted to tell you what our favorites, and this favorites, this did spray. I think this favorites is a word, we're gonna stick with it.
Alright, I think my number one favorite—what was it? Women in costumes! Costumes were pretty near to God, pretty hot! My God, I don't know why attractive women are swarming towards nerds, but please keep doing it. My favorite would have to be female Boba Fett—that was pretty hot! I’ve never thought that Boba Fett could inspire an erection. Female Kratos was hot—oh, Jesus Christ! That was bad in costume. Why am I attracted? What is it about women dressing as male characters that somehow makes it even hotter? I don't know, but here I saw Lady Deadpool wasn't showing an inch of skin—still, oh hot! So hot! Showin' the face at all—not even wearing the mask, wow!
I don't know why Desperate Dan Lee was in the house. Stan Lee was in the house, and you've gotta love Stan Lee! I'm gonna preamp this by saying I love Stan Lee, no matter what. Stan Lee's pretty austere king. That being said, Stan Lee has gone senile, and people are willing to clap. I don't be—he's gone senile. He's a little senile, and people are still clapping no matter what he says. So I'm gonna data true; I'm at a panel and I'm watching, and they're like, "Stan Lee, who's your favorite superhero? Who's your favorite superhero?"
You made, when I was growing up, soda cost a nickel, and now I have a chair in my shadow country. And everybody claps. Yes, Ted, show the clip! You show Waki gamer calm. We'll have the full talk that I recorded 'cause I was on the other side of the room.
But there was a point where they're talking about the game 'cause it's the Marvel games talk, and Stan Lee just chimes in, “I just want to say something,” and it's not even relevant to the tough, but these guys are all really smart. These guys are the smartest people! Excelsior! I want to—just again, I love Stan. We do love Stan Lee. Please, you're watching this, we love you! He got a—you know, people clap! People clapping! We don't have that. Wouldn't—if we don't have that, I can't go on stage to be like, "I like pudding!" and then "Oh yeah, Adams alive, he's fat!"
Oh, okay, next topic—the proliferation of cheap [ __ ]! And we all know how much Adam looks cheap. Seen so much cheap stuff! Yes, my first day there, I found a 75% off trade back table, and I spent my paper bags on trade paperbacks. I spent a hundred and fifty down! And then he comes back to the hotel. He's like, “Dude, you didn't tell me to leave my wallet!” I bought so many comic books. It's really sad, and now I'm reading them on the bus and everybody's looking at me like I'm mentally deficient—it's awesome! It is awesome! It is awesome!
Everyone's now seeing what I already knew—reading Ultimate X-Men. Investing? They give away a lot of free stuff! Lots of rights! DC was giving away copies of everything. I got this one because I thought it was funny—video game nerds driving. And the best part is, if you go into the driver comic, I'm like, "I got it 'cause I'm like ridiculous; they're making a comic about driving!"
So let's look at the story. This is on page one; you got page—page two and three. Two and three are good, and page four and five—and then up! The comic's over! Just have character! It was as bad as I was expecting. You know, I'll say this: when I was playing the game 'Driver,' I was like, "I need to know more about this story of this muffler!" Yeah, I'm like all I'm seeing is the back of a car, but what's happening inside the car? How many transmissions has he burned out on the way to this car? A lot! A lot!
I thought it was cool; I got to see a bunch of artists while I was there. I went and did the sketchbook thing. I have a sketchbook right here—I’ll show you a little stuff. I'm not gonna be able to talk much with it, but you can see here—who's that, Adam? Who's that?
Okay, that would be Green Lantern. It is Green Lantern! Hey, Libra Meho did a really good Joker! I actually have a video of this; hopefully, I'll post it on my kitchen or comedy. But I recorded him doing this sketch, and my favorite was one of the guys at Pixar. See that right here? It's a his character! This beaver—would you call it?
Yeah, it's a beaver! It's a beaver talking to R2D2, who's projecting the beaver! Can eat—that's it for [ __ ]! Oh, that's pretty cool. Let's film Captain America, though! Oh, Captain America is pretty badass! Pretty good! That's pretty [ __ ] badass!
So we gotta find everything! There you go, here's Captain America—all these for free! Just went around to the artists’ table, talked to them. They're more than willing to do this for me, and this is Dave Wilkins; he does many in Captain America. So, lesson being: next year at Comic-Con, bring a book full of blank pages for these people to draw in! They are desperate for attention! They just want to meet the fans!
The writers tend to get a lot of the attention; the artists are just happy to have people over. They do do full commissions; a lot of them charge to be like full-page colors. But if they're not busy, they're more than happy to do a sketch! Well, I had a couple of guys just draw pictures of me. I was standing there—like, “You want me to draw a picture?” Yeah, drop one of me! They looked at me like, "I'm in the pencil!" Broke? Anyway, they do.
We're moving on—moving on! Next thing I want to talk about—this is a dislike or a diss favorite, as we established at the beginning: Japanese companies giving talks. Because there were a ton of PACOM, Namco, whatever. Pick a, especially game company, and the Japanese guy would be always like, "It was—wait." Always used to get money for like 20 freakin' minutes, and then the translator would be like, “We are very proud to show you Dead Cool Rising 1876 Alpha!”
Yeah, oh! Syndicates are gonna be sick! And I so get it together! There will be multiplayer! I think it's a good thing that, and all the shit's on the slide right behind them. I don't need to say anything, you know? It's—I guess in a way, it's cool to have the creator of Mega Man there. Yeah, until—what? You have to listen to? Just hire somebody to tell me the things that he won’t! Have him come out and say, "Hi, I'm the creator of Mega Man! Very happy to be here! This guy's gonna talk; this guy's gonna talk for me!"
I'm just saying if I was in Japan, I wouldn't talk! And the last thing—this was my thing—the protest. The Westboro Baptist Church were—they're trying to claim that God hates all the Comic-Con attendees because apparently we’re all gay. Yeah, I don't understand why, might be, but the rest of the people probably weren't.
In vast majority, I’m sure there were gay people there. I guarantee there were really people there just like they were straight people there. But the best part was the Comic-Con attendees changed a counter-protest. And there may be like less than 10, would you agree, Baptist people? Yeah, it was a small group! There must have been over a hundred Comic-Con attendees!
And the best were the ones that had signs that like, "Superman died for our sins!" Superman died! That was a classic sign; that was a classic! “And I may be gay, but I do love Commander Data!” Just—it didn't even make sense, but it's like, "Alright dude, whatever!"
That's it for us about Comic-Con! Check out our other videos out there, all over there! Here? Oh, we're definitely covering Adam's face right now! Oh [ __ ]! Including the cosplay footage! Full cosplay footage! Enjoy!
