Who are they? That’s basically
what I thought. Not being a gamer, I’m
not aware of the coolness of Dragon Age nor how awesome the storyline and
characters that they created are. Not being a gamer, I wasn’t in line pulling
beads, repeatedly, for them.
I was in line hoping for a blue bead out of the sea of white
so I could meet Claudia Black. Who is
she? Well, it’s all comes down to your
type of nerdiness. I am the type of geek
that watched Farscape and Stargate. So Claudia Black is a big name for me.
My friends clued me in that the Dark Horse allows outside
items signed. Once I pulled a
blue bead (only took 5 or 6 tries), I needed to track down a photo to get
signed. The first place that came to mind was Holzheimer’s and they did have several
photos to choose. I choose a photo that reminded me how quirky her character in
Stargate was.
As I mentioned, a lot of the people were there to see the
creators of Dragon Age. It’s been a long
time..., a long time...since I’ve heard that level of nerdiness. The two in front of me
were dressed as characters from the game. While they had never met before, they
formed a tight Dragon Age friendship. They
chatted incessantly about the plot and the skill level. Both concepts that are far
beyond my ken.
