The Forum is Back – Improved and Expanded!

Screenshot of BaltimoreGamer forum

As any active posters would have noticed, the forum had been down for the past few weeks. When we upgraded the forum to a newer version, there was an error that brought the entire site down. The only way we could get it back was to uninstall the forum.

JohnCon 2010: Disorganization XIII Spoiler & Fanfiction Panels Update

Disorganization XIII

Disorganization XIII is a group that performs panels at various conventions, and they will be performing two of their most popular panels at JohnCon 2010. They describe themselves as “a group that performs at conventions and conferences for the good of all geeks everywhere. We are composed of professional writers, critics, reviewers, speculators, game designers, quantum physicists, demi-gods, bridge trolls, inanimate cubes, computer AIs, gerbils, spikey-haired protagonists, that machine that goes ping, and Jaysack.”

We contacted Disorganization XIII for more details following an article on their blog where they mentioned us, called “We Are Going To JohnCon … WHUUUUUUH!?!” Angelo D’Argenio, President of Disorganization XIII, provided us with extensive descriptions of their two panels, “Spoiler: The Panel 3″ and “Fanfiction From Mary Sue To Shakespeare” and also about some games that they will be setting up at JohnCon.
