Recovering From SDCC 2012

SDCC 2012 Recap Coverage Starts in the next Post!!!!

Sorry for the lack of updates and coverage during the con. There was literally so much to see and do both inside and outside the convention that you really only had a couple of hours of sleep if any at all. Was so exhausted after the con ended and just needed time to sleep and recover.

Warner Bros. Official SDCC 2012 Bags

BURBANK, Calif. (July 9, 2012) — Warner Bros. Entertainment will again sponsor the official bag of Comic-Con International: San Diego 2012, the Studio announced today. By joining forces with Comic-Con for the third consecutive year, Warner Bros. will give each fan attending the Con an unforgettable keepsake from the world’s leading pop culture convention.

• Over 130,000 of the oversized 24”x29” bags — which have been called Comic-Con’s “ubiquitous accessory” by Entertainment Weekly and “a must have” by Deadline Hollywood — have been produced and will be provided to Comic-Con attendees as they check in to the convention. 
• The 2012 edition will be a messenger-style bag with shoulder strap and, of course, a poster-protecting pocket. 
• Designed by Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Marketing, the bags feature double-sided artwork. Each will have the all-new Comic-Con 2012 official design on one side, with the other highlighting Warner Bros. titles, including TV series — live-action and animated — from Warner Bros. Television and Warner Bros. Animation, and upcoming theatrical features from Warner Bros. Pictures. 
• The featured TV titles are Arrow, The Big Bang Theory, DC Nation, Fringe, Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries, along with motion pictures Man of Steel and Pacific Rim

More About Warner Bros.’ Comic-Con Bags Created annually since 2006 by the Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Marketing unit specifically for Comic-Con, the highly sought-after totes provide devoted fans with a handy carrying case for all the merchandise they take away from the Con — and serve as mobile billboards for a selection of the Studio’s key Comic-Con titles.

"We’re headed to Comic-con and setting up shop in downtown San Diego to showcase both Aliens: Colonial Marines and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed! Just like last year, all of our games are available off the show floor at our special SEGA Arcade. We’ve got a lot of fun stuff planned for the show, so if you are in or around the San Diego area, come on out and have some fun with us!

The SEGA Arcade is 100% free and does not require a badge to attend – simply drop by anytime and play some games, see the sights, and meet the team. Hope to see you there!
Location: 200 Harbor Drive, Suite 120, San Diego, CA 92101
Hours:
=== Wednesday 7:00pm – 10:00 pm
=== Thursday 1:00pm – 9:00pm
=== Friday 1:00pm – 9:00pm
=== Saturday 1:00pm – 9:00pm
=== Sunday 11:00am – 7:00pm

Haven’t had a chance at Aliens: Colonial Marines yet and want to see how you stack up against the combined strength of a SEGA & Gearbox multiplayer group? We challenge you to come out and show your best in Team Deathmatch! The game is playable all show long at the Arcade, so come through and show us what you’ve got. That’s not all though, we have some very special Aliens related activities at the Arcade that you won’t want to miss out on.

SEGA has partnered with Dark Horse and invite fans of the Aliens franchise to stop by the SEGA Pop-Up Arcade or Booth #2615 on the expo floor to pick up a copy of an exclusive free Aliens: Colonial Marines comic that is only available during San Diego Comic-Con 2012.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed will be playable, marking the first time consumers can get some hands on with the all-new racing title. If you caught our E3 coverage, then you’ll recognize some of our new characters, including Shinobi, Beat of Jet Set Radio, and Vyse of Skies of Arcadia! We’ve also got new tracks to race in, such as Panzer Dragoon and Golden Axe themed environments. It’s loads of fun and we look forward to seeing you!

 After last year’s success of the event during E3, we’re bringing Sonic Boom to San Diego Comic-Con. Sonic Boom will be held on Friday, July 13, 2012 from 5:00 PM until 10:00 PM at the House of Blues in San Diego, CA. The event will feature Crush 40 with special guests Alex and JP Makhlouf from Cash Cash, Takashi Iizuka from Sonic Team, and Steve Lycett from Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Developer Sumo Digital. Tickets for Sonic Boom are still available and can be purchased here. More information on Sonic Boom here!"
