Alex:
Greetings and salutations!

Clang:
Welcome to the blog of Giant Chips that are Grey in Space (Only one shade available, sorry). We aim to provide the highest quality of stuff that we may find interesting. My name is Clang, and his name is Alex.

I personally am a computer programmer from the lovely city of Fort Collins, CO and in my spare time I enjoy video games, Star Wars, board games, tabletop stuff, Pokemon, and bothering the people kind(/crazy) enough to call themselves my friends.

I also collect X-Wing miniatures and Pokemon cards fairly regularly, with comics sometimes.

Alex:
And I am a 1224 (AKA '24') year old [redacted] that works for the [redacted] department of [redacted]. In my free time, I [redacted] on [redacted] with [redacted]. I'm studying for a video editing degree from AIMS Community College.

I personally enjoy long walks on the beach, pineapple-coconut flavored beverages, and things that have "Star" in the name.

Clang and I have known each other since high school, when we both flunked out and joined the Imperial Stormtrooper Academy of Marksmanship. We passed with flying colors.

Clang:
Anyway, don't want to make this post all intro and no substance, today we attended the Denver Comic Con in the city of Denver, CO. It was PACKED. Deer lord, there were a lot of people there. It was still fun and we still got all of our walking and such in, but still. I did not dress up this year, been too lazy to make a costume again (last year I went as Professor Birch), but I did carry around my Pokemon cards in the hope that I would get to offer up a challenge.

I didn't.

I did get to buy some nice prints from some random guy and one of the aforementioned friends that I bother from time to time. So fun times were had by all. I might actually get to go to some panels tomorrow as well, so that will be fun.

Alex:
I, meanwhile actually did dress up. I was Commander Shepard (and this was my favorite booth on the con floor). I also decided to get a statue of Darth Malgus, a Darth Malgus action figure and a couple of signatures from the actors that were signing stuff. Tomorrow's my last day at the con (work Monday), so I'll be wrapping everything up there soon.

Clang:
As it is now midnight and officially tomorrow, I think that's enough for this post. Over the coming weeks, we'll be playing with blog format and layout and design and stuff, so expect things to change rather dramatically.

Until next time!
Clang

Sidenote:
Clang's favorite costumes of the Con:
1. Left Shark
2. Raptor Jesus
3. The 8-year-old girl that came dressed up as Pyramid Head.
Yeah. not 18... 8. Because it was probably the most terrifying thing I've seen all year.
4. An X-Wing fighter and Tie fighter

And we'll be changing the background image when we find a more suiting one. For now though we're stuck with this one.
