About

Who is Super Edco?
Since back from the retro days of yore, anytime a game would let you create a character and name it yourself, I've been using EDCO. It came about as an amalgam of my own names and the fact that an unusual number of games in those days only let you use four characters.

Videogames are a big part of my life. I've been playing and making videogames just about since there was such a thing to be done. My favorite games are RPGs and action adventures, and the rest of that list is a long one indeed.

The unexpected boon of Austin Comic Con: Dragon Quest IX players

Edco

10:13 PM on 11.15.2010

A Wizard World convention was in Austin this past weekend... It was pretty cool to be in Artist Alley during the show, and even cooler to meet a few D-toid community members who were able to come by and say hello (thanks guys!!).

But on a whim, the gf and I brought our DS's to the show and popped in a copy of Dragon Quest IX. We hopped into the Stornway Inn and set the mode to "Canvas for Guests." sure enough, by the end of the weekend we had no less than seven new guests!

Not only is that a cool feature for the game that works great in public gatherings (one can only imagine the crowds amassed at something like PAX), but I think it's super cool that there are perfect strangers out there who also got my own character to show up in their game. So if any of you out there have a couple new guests by the name of Edco and Vinx, thanks for the canvas!

Glad to hear you're enjoying the game. PAX was crazy... I think there may have been enough DQ9 rays in the air that they may have banded together and become visible at certain points. I managed to canvass just under 200 guests over the weekend, and could have managed a lot more if I'd really been focused on it. I hope the game will remain popular for a long time.... I hear there's an accolade unlocked for canvassing 1000 guests!
