        You expect me to do simple research?
        On the Internet?!
        Inconceivable! 😉

    I’ve been going to conventions for 15 years, and I’ve never been to a ‘party floor’. Does what happens there differ significantly from your average dorm room party?

      Really depends on the convention. I’ve been to cons which had practically no room parties at all, and I’ve been to cons that have entire floors of hotels booked exclusively by people running elaborate parties.

      Some room parties are just some beverages, food and people playing Apples to Apples. Some room parties have elaborate sets to recreate a Klingon brig while a large man in full makeup calls you a p’tak and tries to convince you to eat a meal worm.

      It’s a spectrum.

    Weirdly, in my area [southern California] the anime conventions have very few room parties, but some of the general SF cons have huge ones. Some are run by individuals, others by conventions or publishing companies. Most are open to everyone, but a few are aimed at a particular sub-group of fandom.
    Fans still talk about one year when the convention hotel was shared with an Amway convention, but my favorite was the time when there was a gathering of mariachis in town, and two conventions shared the same overflow hotel. So, they all had to dress up where they were staying and then travel to the hotels where the events were.
    Yes, cosplayers and mariachis all walking out of the same elevator got some very strange looks from the hotel staff.

So I Updated the Steven Seagal Movie Generator?
11 June 2025 - Traegorn
So it was literally more than twenty years ago that I first put one of my dumbest creations on the internet: The Steven Seagal Movie Generator.

Like I seriously publicly launched that dumb thing back in 2004, and for those of you who were unaware, it assembles a title, cast and plot of a fake Steven Seagal movie from elements of his (real) bad films.

I honestly got the idea from a former-friend, who in high school wrote a comedic piece about how you could mash up the titles of Seagal films in the weird underground "newspaper" that got handed out for a few years. But I took it a few steps further, and made a whole thing.

Mostly it just sat there though, a thing I made once and never went back to. I followed it up with the Sci-Fi Channel Movie Generator (later retitled the Syfy Movie Generator) in 2008. I spent more time on that one, doing a later design update that made the "Syfy" movies show up on a fake DVD back cover.

But the Steven Seagal generator just sort of sat there, untouched.

And Steven Seagal kept making (terrible) movies with (predictable) titles. Like a lot. But the generator still only spat out movies culled from the nineties and early 2000s, ignoring all of his new stuff. There was a whole library of awful movies that just weren't in there, and it made the generator feel less relevant.

So, uh, I went and did something about that today.

First off, I redesigned the page. Now it looks like the back of a VHS tape box. Then I loaded the elements of about twenty-five additional films into the generator. And that was harder than I thought it would be, since some of the films are so obscure that they're not well documented. I literally had to do some deep research to figure out a lot of the basic plot details that are now in the generator.

But I did it.

And it's done.

And the generator is now fully loaded.

It's still useless and dumb, though.
