Brenico Media were at Esozone 2008.

0. Many new agents were inducted into T.I.T.A.N.

i. Ikipr/PKN, on stage, together at last. Bobby Pringle says to me “I was crump knobbin’ level 9 for dis shit.”

So… what happened?

Were Infictive artists PKN and Ikipr chased from the stage by the Bear and Clown act? Who was saved from werewolves? Did they really burn down the Watershed? If you just don’t remember the show going off at all, you need to immediately get down and vote to have the act reinstated to public memory by signing on to the Eso08wormhole petition. Don’t let them steal your memories.

ii. Did the mighty wizard Ben Mack really summon the Behemoth? We saw the show, we saw the elephant, and we’ve been anxiously watching BenMackBlackMagic.com for more details on his powerful invocation.

iii. Chris Titan, of the Chris Titan Show, made a last-minute addition to the “Which Tomorrow?” panel on Sunday.

“When did the future go from being a promise to being a threat?”

Speculative fiction generally falls into one of two camps. First, there is the utopian, Star Trek-style vision of the future. People from disparate backgrounds working together towards common goals in a world largely devoid of the problems of the present. However, the dark twin of this literary trope- the dystopian fantasy- has largely eclipsed the former over the last thirty years. Visions of zombie apocalypse, last man on Earth death fantasies, and technology as oppressive monster have largely replaced the Camelot-era visions of a future where humanity finds peace. What will tomorrow be like and how can we tell? More importantly, how does one influence the future on a macro scale? Don’t look for any easy or comforting answers from this panel!

iv. Infictive Crump Off.

v. The AMF Bowling Center on SE Powell Blvd was host to a brief lesson in Bowlbetterology on Saturday night. We at Brenico Media again extend our thanks to Dr. Ben Mack, the man responsible for not only making Bowlbetterology an official Esozone sponsor, but for presenting us this opportunity to offer our teachings to such an open and welcoming audience.

vi. PARTNERS IN CRIME FOR ALL TIME.
