These aren’t from the Tokyo Game Show, but since I will be attending on the Professional Day (Fri) and one of the Public Days (Sat) I thought I’d give you all an unpleasant taste of what I will be facing on the Public Day. The booth babes are very hot, but sometimes the cosplayers will cause an unpleasant double-take, like when one grabs a can of Coke, but forgets that you finished the Coke an hour ago, and refilled the can with water. It’s not so much that water is horrible, but it’s not Coke. Masamania has more here (Masamania, who is wild, was finally featured at Boingboing.net for this very page.)

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well?
