Because I am the way I am, I occasionally need to explain myself on the internets for people who don't get the jokes.
Firstly, about the SGD and SGD in general: never, ever believe a word I say in an SGD. If you believed what I say in them, I've been arrested as a terrorist, stabbed my boss and co-workers multiple times, and cut off Fred's head on at least two occasions.
The MegaTokyo plans for Otakon are not set at this time. I don't know if I'm going yet, and we don't know what the plans are yet. When Fred and I were talking about possible Otakon scenarios, I figured that this was the most interesting one.
As for what happened 6 years ago at Otakon (which, by the way, was not my last Otakon), you can read our old logs of it in our wayback rant machine. That much is true.
And, finally, the matter of the status bar. Whenever there's an SGD, I will update it with something either brash, challenging, or combative. That is the SGD persona. Remember when I used to call all of you suckers? Or that time I talked about strangling, decapitating, or spleen-stabbing fans? It's the SGD persona. It's unapologetic and combative. It represents neither me nor Fred.
Well, okay, it represents me. But that's beside the point.
I'll be at AX over the weekend, you can take it up with me then - I would try and go incognito, but I really don't think that'll work anymore. Ah well...
