this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by go daddy what's up everyone and welcome back to their pursuit of renters riffs the show where I take anything from the world of technology that's going on and we chat about it this week I finally had a chance after all these years to go to comic-con I'm doing this for emphasis I've always wanted to go I've always read about it I've always watched Chandler's always watch to leave trailers avoid read all the comics and I finally got to go and it was super exciting so you ever wanted to go to comic-con one of your someone's first experiences keep watching it so first of all registering for comic-con is crazy difficult we've registered for a ton of trade shows that any star difficulty whatsoever but getting in for comic-con is like a whole other beast we had a pre-register press like six months in advance we had to send in letters on letterhead and prove that we were press it was a whole deal but we finally got approved and all it was good at the world so we go down to San Diego for Comic Con we took the train down there were just about a two-hour train ride down from Orange County I don't know to expect I was expecting like CES but just with comics so first we get down there poop the train this is get to a train station there are people in costumes and you see all the pictures of everybody in cosplay and it is like that everywhere you go people ranging of all body styles and shapes to them men and women of just in various stages of dress and undress walking around just walking around San Diego which is also very weird so we finally got into comic-con and I expected just giant hog after haul of stuff turns out it's really just kind of one major hall where all this stuff is and it's called comic-con but all the comic book stuff all accomplished men ders in the storage are kind of like shunned in the corner which was very weird but they had just thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of comics of everyone you could think of even named he's never heard of there was a comic I saw of a guy who super here it was he could pick up his limbs and throw it that is not a joke it was a thing and I saw it absolutely bizarre they've got things that are in slabs and comic books out everywhere people are just talking about nerd things in fact we can to talk about nerd thing if you listen while you're there you would hear absolutely crazy crazy stuff the weirdest thing I heard one of the most nerdy things I heard there are people talking about the new daredevil series on Netflix and no joke this is the voice I'm not making this up with you a nerd say ok this is the voice that I heard you're not really hoping that daredevil Curie's on Netflix to true the first material and that daredevil does get his powers from a radioactive post that falls on his back and gets rid of a die site I really hope they do that right and that was just an example of the stuff you hear it is awesome there's not been a better time in the world to be a geek than right now I'm 34 years old I'm not that far removed from the middle school high school ages but now if you're a geek in that age you are like the coolest and it is awesome to see so comic-con has worked from being just about the comics I went with her editor-in-chief shot on a who fun fact used to run a comic book shop I used to go all the time in the nine years when it was just about the comics and now it's sort of more about the movies and the paraphernalia I go along you know with comics and a lot of anime stuff there and a lot of other things I didn't know what we was that goes along with anime but sort of all about the movie that's sort of prevailing everywhere if you want to get into all these panels you see they showed a trailer for season 5 of The Walking Dead you want to talk to the folks that are in Avengers age of Ultron you pretty much you have to camp out like four days in advance them interrupts my nerd comic talk for quick sec -
