The staff at Anime Boston 2007 have posted the following tidbits.

• Dealers room space has filled up. Meaning they have a full list of awesome vendors to buy your anime wares from. I can’t wait to see what these fine folks bring forward this year as far as anime goods go.
• Video game schedule has been released. There appear to be quite a few interesting games lined up for tournaments this year. These include: Wii Sports, Wario Ware, DDR, Tetris DS, Mario Kart DS, Smash Bros. Melee, and Halo 2.
• Donation forms are available for those able to donate cool stuff to the charity auction for this week. So if you can help out, do it.

We hope to mention these updates in our next episode of SHAFT.

Found a video from Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children that I found to be quite spectacular. I think you will to. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7–PsNUlK2k)

Also found this parody video of games such as Final Fantasy. It was actually made at Babson College which is right around here in the wonderful Massachusetts area. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwLrgxtALWs)

Special thanks to the fine posters at MyExtraLife.com for posting these there so I could post them here.
