There are so many events going on at Comic Con that it will be impossible for one person to see everything they want to see. This is the biggest, craziest event when it comes to the newest and hottest in movies and television. From screenings and previews to panels and classes, Comic Con looks to have it all. The event will be running from Wednesday (Preview night) July 23 – Sunday July 27. Rather than try to cram the best of the best of the updated schedule I will just let you know what’s going to be hot based on days.

Ashtyn is definitely the casual gamer in the family. A game fan since she owned an Atari, Ashtyn can remember when her brother rigged the television so he wouldn’t lose his Super Mario Bros. game. That is, until the power went out! A fan of all things Mario, Ashtyn is a Nintendo loyalist. She digs playing Mario-style RPG games, watching others play violent shooters (because she sucks at them), and playing casual PC games (like Wedding Dash and Cake Mania). As of now, she is into the Wii and Nintendo DS, though she’s certain the games for PS3 and Xbox 360 are more appealing.
