The day was already off to a good start with almost being mugged for my Pop Tart by a sparrow and a good laugh being had by all. So the second day seemed to be setting up to make up for the prior. Like it was going to be a day of odd events followed up by some silly and goofy stuff all to keep the con-goers in high spirits.

Alas that was all killed from the moment I stepped off the bus in front of the convention.

If you didn't know beforehand, there were "protests" going on the day before about how Comic Con was just an outlet to worship false idols. Insanely stupid, am I right? Well not being one who has issue with people having their own faith whatever it may be, I decided to let some of the left over fanatics spout their hate at me hoping for something meaningful to come from it. That will teach me as again, like in years past, I was bombarded with some of the most retardababy logic I have heard in a while. They have a point with those that think "The Force" is a religion, with those that worship the teaching of Lucas' Muppet, but does anyone really fall to their knees praying Superman or Wolverine will save their souls?

That was actually an example I was given and I wish I was making it up. What made things worse were the attendees of the convention responding in such a similar manner of stupidity. I literally watched stupidity fuel stupidity across the argument line. How the fuck does that happen? In any instance, I left before the disease started to try to work on me and went inside with my day beaten back down due to the ignorance in the air.

This was not the only event that occurred where the idiot train rolled out. Another encounter worth mentioning was during the aforementioned panel for Twisted Metal.

Before I go into this, I want to express my higher opinions of David Jaffe right now. Anyone that can perfectly explain game play and story elements of a game and not get overly enraged when the audience doesn't understand or let it sink in is truly a great man. Either that or Mr. Jaffe and I are existing on a higher level than 80% of the people in attendance for his discussion and reveal of new Twisted Metal information. I completely comprehended what you were saying from the start and did not need you to explain in nine year old speak to understand.

My praise aside, during this panel, it was announced the three characters that you will get to play in single player (Sweet Tooth, Mr. Grimm, Dollface) and how each will have a different ending based on the difficulty. Oh, and those endings and intros will be live-action clips done in a style similar to the opening of Watchmen. Also that those three, in single player mode, can drive any of the 16 vehicles, but don't look for an expanded story on any of the other characters you can play.

I'll go in more with my hands-on, but this was how it was explained and people still thought that they were going to be nickel and dimed for DLC to get the full experience. I mean, how dense do you have to be to not get it? Or maybe it was just how the day ran down for everyone else there.

Thinking about all the stupidity going on that day didn't stop there, but those where the major events displaying how injecting more fanboy/girl and zealots into a mix is a breeding grounds for retardary; a disease that stayed around the rest of the other two days and most likely went home with many. Luckily, I escaped before I was overtaken.

Stay tuned for more of the insanity that came with Day 3.
