Quantcast


Who knew it would be so difficult to get people to hold a sign than says "Also cocks" on it?

I'm finally home, after a long day spent on my feet, fighting my way through crowds of sweaty geeks at the second annual New York Comic Con. This year's convention was significantly larger in size and broader in scope than last year's; for three days, the Jacob Javits Center was turned into every geek's wet dream: artists; writers; vendors; toys; games -- you name it -- if it was detrimental to getting laid in high school, it was on display at the New York Comic Con.

Check in tomorrow when I detail my hands-on time with Starbreeze's The Darkness (Xbox 360), Kororinpa: Marble Madness (Wii), Godzilla: Unleashed (Wii) and more.

But now, it's time for me to go to sleep. Because stepping up to Singstar Pop and singing a Britney Spears song in front of a crowd of people takes a lot out of a man. Like, you know, his masculinity.

The guy with the lightsaber has the worst hold on that sign. It's like he's holding a dead rat or something.

That guy was great -- we approached him for the photo and he immediately goes into his Jedi pose. He's very excited. But we stop him and say, "No, no...with the sign."

You should have seen his face. It's like we shit in his cereal. He reluctantly agreed to take the picture. The Fetts on the other hand...Boba and Jango? Not having it.

Love is in the air at Dtoid. Nex and Nagiko, Britini and Ron, and now Brutal and Hushgush.

I'm gonna throw up if Linde and Fronz start going at it next.

Weren't there any people at the Comic Con dressed up as comic characters?

If you mean the sweet smell of success, then you've come to the right place.

But then again, that could just be my Guinness and hot wings. Which is ALSO a recipe for success.

Oh, and that Storm Trooper wins "Best Sign Hold", considering that guy with the lightsaber held it like a nancy.

i was there on saturday. i even saw the fat Anakin pictured here when he was walking around with a thinner version of himself. people dressed as comic book characters that i remember seeing were an over the hump Wonder Woman and a smoking hot Dark Phoenix (until you saw her face). im sure there were others, but i dont remember. there were tons of star wars ppl, even a decent looking slave girl leia. of course there were plenty of anime cosplayers too. the most fun i had there was meeting the Afro Samurai dudes and trying to speak to them in broken japanese. just sucked that it was so damn hot in that place. was there an announcement on the site that some dtoid peeps were gonna be there? i wish i had known so i couldve hunted them down in the crowds.

here are my noteworthy pictures from the Con, including the exploded taxi cab outside the Javits Center.

I still don't get it. What's ALSO COCKS?

@ electroplankton:

It's a meme that started on YTMND that Destructoid has adopted as our own slogan. It's pretty much used as a tagline to a serious explanation of something to add a bit of silly. If you really want to know where it originated, you can look up "Meat Spin" on YTMND. I don't recommend doing that if you at work or around family members or nuns. On second thought, don't look it up.

Also cocks.
