We have made contact with the mother site! And they like us! But, they asked us to change our name.
So forever more Tumbl Con USA will be known as DashCon.
Same logo, new URL! Look for tickets soon! Exciting news coming in the following two weeks, very very exciting news!
*Gets all excited, goes and types in ‘dashcon.org’… website expired…. ragequit*
A bunch of awkward, obsessive, hyper-sexual, (mostly) introverts?
What could possibly go wrong?
Is the con where everyone stays at the same hotel but no one actually leaves their room? They only blog about who they think they may have seen in the lobby but were too shy to actually ask?
I KEED!! I KEED!!
Chicago isnt that far. Depending on when this is… I may go.
Though, in all seriousness, the amount of sexual tension being brought to this place would be unreal.
There’s a wiki page for the use of google as a verb that talks about some of their earlier C&D letters because they thought it was “weakening” their brand.
Weird. I dont see how that could be. Although, if “Google” becomes synonymous with “internet search” and someone then goes to Yahoo or Bing or whatever.. I guess?? Maybe?
For some reason Im reminded of people who do a search for their own email host whenever checking their email.
I’ve been wanting to show off my gaming collection for awhile now.
(Not pictured: numerous Pathfinder and 3.5 D&D books, CAH expansions, Munchkin expansions, Hero Pack expansions for the Last Night on Earth and A Touch of Evil Games, any “vanilla” board game like Monopoly =p)
Reposting my gaming collection! =D
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Except Pandemic. F that game in the A. It kicks me in the nads every time I play it.
dear troll: Google has actually initiated legal action against people for doing this.
Wow, I hadnt heard about that. Will have to Google it later…
My son is such a cool wizard that not only are his sunglasses over-sized, his animal spirit guide has a pair too.

Victor, you’re only going to make people want to go there more. Haven’t you seen that episode of South Park?
I feel like you’ve reached full geek potential when you have songs from video games on your ipod.
I think for a lot of people it started with FF7. Great music. And that One Winged Angel track is epic.
However, when I was little I would put my little boombox up to the TV and record some music from video games. I remember Legend of Zelda and Double Dragon from the NES being two.
How exactly are Heroclix used? I have a bunch of Hobbit ones but honestly it's just because they were characters from the Hobbit. Is there like... A game or something that goes with them?
Yup! Just behind the character is a small number. This is how many points the character costs. You build a force made up characters up to a certain point limit, 300, 400, or more. Then you choose a map, which is a grid and has special rules like elevations or rocks that block you etc, and you fight another team of roughly equivalent value.
Thats the game part of the hobby.
The collecting part of the hobby is where you bleed money from your anus trying to get the figures you want. And when you dont, it stings. Like lemon being shoved into your money bleeding anus. And then the company who makes the game decides to mess with the format of how the figures are distributed making only a handful available at places like Target as opposed to your local store. But you track them down anyway because those other pieces are actually pretty cool and you want them. And because you are an obsession-fueled fanboy who simply MUST have certain (or sometimes all) figures.
