Welcome one and all to the introductory post of Con Chronicles! A blog about popular culture, video games, technology, and a bit of comedy.
About five years ago I began attending the San Diego Comic Con with my college buddies. Every year we would meet up a few days beforehand and share our plans for the upcoming event. Although our plans would not always turn out the way we wanted, we had fun nonetheless. Shortly after the comic convention had left town and many days afterwards, we would reconvene to share our crazy convention chronicles. This blog is a reflection of our adventures.
Our many adventures prompted us to begin writing in order to share our thoughts and experiences going to conventions and also the culture that surrounds these gatherings.
Expect to see TV show, movie and video game reviews, various collectible un-boxings, interviews and related media from a group of guys that are immersed in the culture day in and day out.
Currently our staff consists of Joseph Aranez, Gerald Briones, Jorge Knapp, Marcos Mora, Misa Moreno, and Adrian Ortiz. As time goes, special guest writers may join in. (Blog will be bilingual, English and Spanish!)
Here's a brief introduction of our writers and what they will cover.

On the side he has started playing Heroes of Storm from Blizzard and patiently awaits another Call of Duty title.
