Ken’s Rockin’ A New Look in These SDCC Street Fighter V Screens

And honestly? Mr. Masters is looking straight up beast. Very keen on seeing if they the rest of regulars are receiving a next-gen revamp (’cause Ryu and Chun-Li look pretty much like same ol’ Ryu and Chun-Li).

Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season Three Announced at SDCC

If you’re a fan of big budget superhero movies and giant monsters, this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, as expected, delivered. But it’s those unexpected surprises that turn out to be the best treats.

One such treat was the confirmation made by Telltale co-founder Kevin Bruner that, yes indeed, a third season of their heart-punching adventure game The Walking Dead is underway.

Even with Season Two just barely into its finale, the soon-to-be-released “No Going Back,” the series massive success has guaranteed a return to the studio’s comic-adapted apocalypse. As with any good confirmation, we have absolutely no details on Season Three – no characters, no story info, no date.

The project joins Telltale’s growing catalog of upcoming episodic games including Tales From the Borderlands, a joint undertaking along with Gearbox Software, and Game of Thrones, a title that draws inspiration from the best genre show in television history this side of Firefly.

The Red Herb @ San Diego Comic-Con 2013

I was infinitely too busy to share with you every awesome sight I beheld, but throw me a handful of points for trying anyway.  It was touch and go for a while yet, somehow, someway, I survived SDCC ‘13.

I met quite a few folk neck deep in the gaming industry.  That includes a 343 Industries multiplayer designer that took the time to pick my brain on Halo 4 (my 2012 top pick for best of the year), a few members from Square Enix pimping out the extraordinary looking Thief, a lead producer from 2K Games who talked up The Bureau with me, and IGN’s own Greg Miller, who was disarmingly friendly and dove into some rock solid bloggin’ advice without hesitation (you’re a beautiful man, Greg).  Thank you to everyone that took the time out of the Comic-Con insanity to let me pull their ear.

As always, thanks and a dash of kudos to all who stopped at the Glitch booth and allowed me to immortalize them on The Herb (for The Herb is eternal).

I want to show you so, so much more.  Phone’s funny about posting photosets, however — funny as in “doesn’t do it at all" — but soon I will share sights untold with you, friends.  Soon.
