The photos are in the can and the videos have been largely ignored. And the step back into (short-term) memory lane begins… sitting here right now it feels like ages ago. Still, looking back at the loot we got and the photos we took… the memories of our very first con will last a very very long time. Still can’t answer what I loved MOST about the con, but maybe after going through all this and sorting my brain out we’ll have a definitive answer. We did learn a lot from this trip, and perhaps the next time we’re there, we’d have the chance to put these lessons into use. But enough about the unimportant, now it’s time to heat the meat of the matter!

3 of us here at HereBeGeeks.com would like to present a very warm welcome to Sarah Coldheart – who’s very kindly volunteered to contribute her writing talents to our humble repository for all things geeky. Other than being able to school us in the art of designing a website, Sarah’s a writer by trade, and is even the municipal liaison for the Singapore chapter of NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy. Well versed in many things geeky, and also known as the one who gave Gail Simone a merlion (plushy, not the fountain), I think our comic book reviews are going to be in good hands. Here’s Sarah with a few words:
So let’s once again welcome Sarah in our midst! Any questions… pun? What pun?
Gencon’s releases continue to trickle to the public this week, with the Wrath Jacks making their debut on Privateer Press’ Website. We’ve also got some interesting 40K spinoff news, with debuts of the Space Marine game and 40K MMO. 
Highest on my list of awesome though is Captain Gunnbjorn’s article in Game Trade Magazine‘s latest release. A full preview by Privateer Press, this looks like it was taken straight out of the forces of Hordes: Trollbloods book, complete with art, stats and storyline. Suddenly I was thinking… maybe some of you guys should go buy your own copy of the paper (this is just in case we get sued or something), but then I realised that we do have tons of overseas readers (hi guys!) and that by the time I inform people about the news, it’s usually the next day. Like now. And so we endeavour on – and today we have Asian actress and self-confessed sci-fi geek Ming-Na, who took the time out to have an interview with Life! in the midst of filming Stargate Universe. It’s not a long read, with most of it made up of her bio discussing her body of work (and it is quite the body) but she did answer the 8 questions posed to her. For any hardcore SGU fan who’s read up on Ming-Na (or Ming-Na Wen as she used to be known) the answers to most of these questions you might already know, but what’s interesting is her favourite role in her career, which she’s listed The Joy Luck Club. That’s really when she first burst on the scene before being known for roles in ER, voicing Mulan in the Disney animation and acting as famed Chinese pugilist Chun-Li a good 15 years before Kristin Kruek had a sniff at that role. |
