Always wondered that..<br><br>Personally, right now I'm wondering if I should brand my videos myself... I'd love to go around conventions just filming interesting panels..<br><br>Oh, speaking of which, do you guys mind if we film the Mirage panel at the NYCC this year? I know most of you guys, like the rest of us, tend to be rather camera shy. I usually put up all of a panel, but in this case I'd put up only a small snippet of it if you guys don't want to wind up on youtube :)..Neil Vitalehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13133248514600270928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225302720400600293.post-19403135547290198412008-12-02T23:38:00.000-08:002008-12-02T23:38:00.000-08:00-->> Neil, i though they name MIRAGE STUDIOS...-->> Neil, i though they name <i>MIRAGE STUDIOS</i> derived from the fact that that in the beginning the ' Studio ' was so small , in fact it was like a kitchenette or something.

Pretty clever if true.<br><br>I love the way those old photos look. Comics don't look like that now days. Mirage's old stuff always looked like it was done with a marker... Dunno why it was so appealing to me, but it always was. <br><br>I have a bunch of the old RPG games and they feature similar looking covers.Newton Gimmickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03123592172997157224noreply@blogger.com
