So with Convention Career Connection out, I can't seem to step away from speculating on what can be done in the con scene to help people's careers. So of course, I'm writing about it. I've decided to analyze what more can be done at specific kinds of cons (in my opinion) to help people's careers.
First up? Comic conventions.

Whenever I attend an anime convention, I’m struck by the fact that a majority of the attendees have never in their lives wound the head on a VHS tape. They have never blown frantically into their VCR hoping to fix the snow that appeared in the middle of an otherwise peaceful Neon Genesis Evangelion viewing. (As peaceful as a viewing of that show can be.) Oh, youth!
(Remember when I said someone on Twitter had said a Superman game couldn't be done? And I wrote about it? The person who got me, thinking, Julian of http://www.gamepad-dojo.com/, volunteered to contribute his insights on the idea of a came, and the fundamental flaws such a game would have)
