In theory, echolocation is a beautiful way to experience the world. In practice, there is something unnerving about only knowing what is immediately around you, and only if you make a sound. Therein lies Lurking, one of many indie games on display at the SXSW Gaming Expo in Austin.

There's a free video game expo in Austin and you aren't there - but dozens of game developers are showing off their wares. Of particular interest: offline multiplayer games. Why plug into the net when friends can game from the same couch?

The saying goes that hindsight is 20/20, and while that may or may not be true, there definitely is something gained when one looks back. In this case I am looking back at the games that I believe had the greatest impact in my learning to love Japanese videogames and eventually otaku culture.

In a place like Kansas, you wouldn't expect any major convention to exist. While Naka-kon may not pull the numbers of some of the largest crowds (I'm looking at you, Otakon), it has thus far been more than enjoyable. The convention had over 7000 guests last year, and is likely to increase those numbers this year,…
Hi guys! After a relatively uneventful first day at Indiana Comic Con, I finally heard back from Halia, my PR contact. I'd sent in an e-mail interview, just like I did for Awesome Con Indianapolis, and was able to look over it while I uploaded the day's photos.
