San Diego Comic Con '17 Day 2 (Uber Edge)

Parked at Old Town station and waiting for the trolley to come.

Met 2 deaf people on the trolley. Very awesome. I chatted with them about SDCC.

Went to Marriott hotel to rest before my shift starts. I used this time to meditate and stretching so I can be ready for the day.

My shift now starts.

I was given the quest to delivering the key to specific room.

 photo 194_zps3h9xpu4k.jpg

Wasn't easy quest so I had to protect the key on constant basis.

And...... my quest is all over! Time to return back to home base.

On the way back to home base, I ran into Ryan again. I went to exhibition hall to help out newbies since they had no idea what to do. I took them to exhibition hall so they can lose themselves in that room. Very fun to see their reaction.

Back to home base. This is a service dog of my supervisor. Very beautiful dog. Mixture of Husky and German Shepherd, I think.

"Yeah, I got this."

Went to exhibition hall after my shift. I want to visit my favorite author.

That's Blake Northcutt. When she saw me, she stood up to give me a big hug. She thanked me for my support all these years. She enjoyed my FB posts, which made me happy. I bought couple of copies of her stuff and she signed them.

After Blake, I met up with Peter and we went to my favorite artist in artists alley.

 photo 211_zpsvgkkrb9o.jpg

That's Bordin. I have been commissioned him for last 8 years and he's fantastic artist.

 photo 221_zpstnvq5cro.jpg

Bordin is working on my request while Peter is watching him.

 photo 229_zpsewae17mv.jpg

Wow, Bordin got mad skills.

Walking to Marriott hotel to rest up.

 photo 235_zpsgu5o1wft.jpg

Chilling in anime room. I ate lunch then took a short nap. I'm so thankful for anime rooms at SDCC.

Received a message from Chelsea so I went back to SDCC to meet up with her.

 photo 244_zpsphp8ekdi.jpg

We met at Blizzard booth since it was pretty easy location to find. It was terrific to see her again. We mostly chilled around and talk about various stuff.

 photo 245_zpsqpecooyz.jpg

RIP our feet.

Still, it was so nice to spend quality time with Chelsea. I just wish that we can chill more because she's that super awesome. But soon, we had to part ways, which saddened me very much.

After Chelsea, I lined up for Duck Tales panel. I was bit worried that I may not get in because the line is so long.

 photo 252_zpsw6bnt5ko.jpg

Wow, I got lucky! I'm now inside. But I suspected that there's a lot of Doctor Who fans here. They're only here because of David Tennant, whose is 10th Doctor. He voiced as Scrooge for Duck Tales.

 photo 253_zpsastquny7.jpg

I'd bet that maybe 90 percent of them are Doctor Who fans. :P

 photo 254_zpspfosdqoz.jpg

Promo for Disney channel.

 photo 255_zps0n6t9ocp.jpg

Duck Tales, yes! I grew up on it so I'm curious how new version would look like.

 photo 260_zpsyxbe5s5a.jpg

That's 10th Doctor in green shirt. He's hella handsome in person. Lot of fangirls went crazy for him.

 photo 263_zps3ypbeejc.jpg

David Tennant being witty.

I thought this panel was bit hilarious since there's no interests in Duck Tales, only for David Tennant. You know how fangirls are.

But there's one part I like the most about this panel is how Tennant deals with specific request. Someone asked him to voice Scrooge but Tennant said he cannot do it without the script. So the writer whose sit next to him hastily scribbled down on paper then handed it to Tennant whose voiced it out. I thought it was so neat.

Walking to manga panel.

 photo 271_zpsay7os2he.jpg

Yay for manga panel! But I'm bit sad that anime and manga panels have decreased at SDCC in recent years. I used to spend all day in anime and manga panels at SDCC. I really miss that a lot.

 photo 272_zpsumpqy1bz.jpg

The panelists are discussing the difference between US and Japan in how they create superheroes. Very neat and insightful.

 photo 274_zpsx4d33qcz.jpg

Why yes, I like magical girls a lot.

 photo 279_zps62w1tpnq.jpg

Helping out Amanda whose is on left side of this picture. I was on lobby floor when I ran into her. She didn't know where Petco stadium so I offer to guide her there. She accepted my help. Her friends were there for party or something like that.

 photo 282_zpske8cyxjl.jpg

Dealing with Gaslamp.

 photo 285_zpsuevqs3o1.jpg

This area is where her friends are. Amanda thanked me for my help. I hope she had a blast at this event.

 photo 288_zpsirn8opjo.jpg

This is my favorite sign at this year's SDCC.

 photo 290_zps6uh76dd5.jpg

Went to front desk to cancel the panel since my friends opted to go to Overwatch panel.

 photo 296_zpspahwmnrm.jpg

Inside Overwatch panel now. I feel like I'm a poser/fake for being in this panel since I don't play Overwatch but I admired Blizzard for making super high quality games.

 photo 297_zpssbwt37vj.jpg

This guy played trumpet before the panel starts. So random.

 photo 299_zpszag4xlbr.jpg

Overwatch design team. They're there to discussing about how they make heroes by using Doomfist as an example.

 photo 302_zpsfh18ksps.jpg

Rough draft to final draft. Very neat.

 photo 305_zpsy26zzj9o.jpg

The scale of heroes in Overwatch.

Very insightful panel. Game design isn't easy.

 photo 309_zpsdb2l08cj.jpg

Got free Doomfist foam. All praise freebies.

 photo 312_zpsk8fznnoe.jpg

Going home. Had to endured crowded trolley for 10 minutes before I get off at Old Town station.

Duck Tales panel stood out the most for me. It was so fascinating how different fandom would hijacked other panel that isn't even relate to their fandom.
