checking out the DuckTales game for xbox! photo: Jonathan Bredemeyer |
If you've met me in real life, you probably know that I really enjoy board games. I grew up playing them constantly with family, neighbors, and friends, and, after grad school, I've been part of several groups that get together on a regular basis to play. I also enjoy video games, though I don't really carve out too much time for those anymore. Still, I made time for both during Comic-Con and had a wonderful time doing so! Check out some of my adventures! The one above is me completely mesmerized by how beautiful the new
DuckTales game is!

the week before Comic-Con, Jonathan, our friend Jim, and I played a game of Settlers of Catan
so I could get an "action shot" for a contest. (take a closer look at my shirt!) this is the picture I
submitted... which, along with a short essay, won me a slot in the tournament! photo by Jim |

near the end of the game. it's Star Trek Catan, which is really a nice adaptation! I didn't win,
but still got some great swag! photo: Jonathan Bredemeyer |

At past Comic-Cons, I haven't really made time for games, and, honestly, for off-site events. This year we went to two parties and a few other off-site events, including the above tournament, and a screening for
Black Sails, though we were too tired to stay by the time we learned we'd be seeing an 11:30pm screening instead of an 8pm! But, this about wraps up the gaming. Stay tuned for more photo recaps of Comic-Con!
