Didn't They Break Up?

The dance, dance revolution continues with The Black Eyes Peas Experience, the latest artist-focused dancing title from Ubisoft. Based on watching people try it out on the stage at NYCC, the songs and dance moves aren't as iconic as Michael Jackson's were, but perhaps for younger players it will work. It comes out November 9, but unlike other entries in this area, this one is only for Kinect. Per-orders at the show earn a poster signed by the four band members.

On the Ground

Day one at the NY Comic Con, and from first looks, the show is actually smaller than last year (sharing the Javits with another show) but there seems to actually be more people. That could be a bad mix.

The Night Before Nerd Christmas

This year, the New York Comic Con is a four-day affair, starting tomorrow with press day. I have a few fun interviews lined up, and stuff always pops up, so make sure to check back for updates.

Costume of the Show

OK...not the most stylish costume, but look close at that thing on his chest (and yes, I am assuming it's a guy.) As he gets closer, you see it slide out, revealing a drawer...with a lollipop. Genius (though I didn't eat the candy. I'm not crazy.)

Checking in from I-CON

It's that time of year, when sci-fi, anime and fantasy fans head East to gather at I-CON, the big Long Island cosplay and gaming hot spot, celebrating its 30th year. Spread out across the campus of SUNY Stony Brook, it draws a pretty wide swath of fans (as evidenced by the massive line to check in three hours after it opened) thanks to a rather diverse line-up of seminars, celebrities and silliness.
Best overheards so far: "Why did you wear that?" To a extremely underdressed and extremely cold young lady. And "Furries!" "We're not furries!" To, well, no need to really explain.
