I still haven't forgotten the Garth Ennis incident. My voice acted without the consent of my brain and then stopped working altogether.

I demand a full and frank explanation.  With sarky comments from anyone else who was there also welcome.

[The Monarch]

actually i would like to hear of this as well

[JamieB]

Heh, can't be any worse than me coralling poor Robbie Morrison for about half an hour at the MOS party, then spending said time drunkenly ranting about how he's "the beshtest writer evah" until he went and hid ;)

Do I get a pint if I mention that "i'm a sad final fantasy fan" too?

Hey you can have as many pints from me as you want if you're a sad final fantasy fan.

Actually, a _lot_ of the new Zoids designs are a tad iffy, but the reissues at least enabled me to buy all the ones I wanted as a kid, but couldn't afford. Giga's by far the best of them, though.

As for the comic, I rather liked it, and it ended in a good place ("what goes around comes around"/a war without end), although it still would have been good if the proposed US-sized comic had have happened.

    I tend to find the ones based on animals are iffy (and all the zoids blox stuff, but they're not proper zoids IMHO)  - the new ones that are based on dinosaurs or insects still tend to look quite good - I love Storm-Sworder (Pterodon type). Mad Thunder looks good too (2ft long triceratops with miniguns for horns) and I'll be picking up one of those when I'm in the states next month (Hopefully along with a Giga and maybe an Ultrasaurus)

since jared is not telling . lets make up what happened.

i think it went like this.

JARED. wow MR Ennis SIR. i think you are the best Dredd writer ever in the entire history of dredd.

Ennis.well thankyou but i would not say im the best.better then anyone else at this point maybe.but not the best.

at this point Jared begins to weep. and proclaims himself not worthy of being in the presence of MR ENNIS,

Jared.
please mr ennis sign my left breast so i may go to my hotel room and then tattoo it myslef in memory of this moment.

Ennis. ok if you insist.

i think it went something like that.though i was not there.

[Dudley]

Maybe it went like this:

Ennis: Wh-?

Jared: Oh Mr Ennis, it's such a privilege to meet you, I've never met anybody quite as talented as you, your stories are what make my life complete, wow I can't believe I'm sitting here beside Garth Ennis, Garth - may I call you Garth? - I want to ask you so many things -

Ennis: What the hell are you doing in my bed?  And where are your clothes?  Security! Security!

[Oddboy]

I had the big red wooly mammouth Zoid - but the ears didn't flap properly & it's truck & head fell apart with the slightest knock!

[Jared Katooie]

Whilst I was fully clothed I nomnetheless managed to make an arsery of my introduction by shouting loudly at him for no apparent reason.

Then I asked him to sign things and couldn't think of anything to say and escaped promptly.

Dont even ask about John McCrea....

Proper zoids were overly complex and fell to pieces a lot. I went off it when they started doing stuff like the gorilla zoid (which may have been called King Zong or something like that) which was all smooth and single-peicy.

The big diplodicus one, the one that predates Zoidzilla, was super flimsy.

[Devons Daddy]

dont be ashamed jared.

i wonder how i would try to be cool and at the same time in not look like an idiot when in the presence of a group of people who have in a way played such a large part in my life.26 years of thrill power you cannot to ignore its influence,

try to say thanks and at the same time not make them think im some sort of scycho.(who cant spell).or embarres them with appreaction of their talent.
though i long for the oppurtunity to be able too.

(i do believe its acceptable to throw rose petals for ian gibson to walk upon though.)

>(i do believe its acceptable to throw rose petals for ian gibson to walk upon though.)

In that case, it may well be worth stocking up on rose petals...

I booked the weekend of the Con and the night before off but on the new timetable I'm listed as working until 9 on the Friday. Here's hoping that I can change it so I can cast a cloud over the Sged.
