I for one, was incredibly crushed that I will not be going to Comic-Con when I got this email last night. So sad!

I'm definitely going to be there. I mean how do I pass up a chance to drunkenly hit on and fail with Kristen Kreuk?

I'm totally there.

Capcom often sells off old stock at great prices at Con, too. Might get me some "new" games while I'm there.

Fuck yeah Comic Con! My favorite time of year. I'm going to play Mega Man 9, Dark Void, and Street Fighter until security ganks my scrawny ass out of the convention. Plus, it's an excuse to dress up like Travis Touchdown. I mean, I already look like that douchebag anyway. Now I'll just get credit for it.

On another note, I think it would be cool if Destructoid expanded Dale's site into a full fledged music blog. I mean, we already got toys, anime, pop culture, and octopuses. Music is the next logical step. Besides, I'm sick of getting all my music news from Pitchfork and the AV club.
