Jessica Nigri is now part of Intermixi.com! In preparation for her own website debut, her new column “Nigri Please” is sure to peak everyone interest. From Pokemon Red cheat codes to cosplay tips, Nigri Please is just a place for Jessica to let loose…

So let’s begin!

The origin evolving into Pikachu:

“So heres the story… I have always wanted to go to a comic book convention, and for christmas I got a four day pass to SDCC 2009!! Needless to say, like any nerd, I was SUPER excited!

July rolls around, and after a long session of Pokemon Red on my ghetto Gameboy Color, I decided to embody and become my trusty pixelate friend, Pikachu!!

Little did I know, that becoming the 25th Pokemon of the now growing 400+ would be such a hit!! O:

Upon entering the doors of Comic Con, I was bombarded with photographers and fellow comic con attendee’s asking for picture after picture! I was completely surprised! And very happy to pose for every single person who asked. Everyone was so nice about the whole thing how could i refuse!!

Now coming on a month later, I am still in shock about how this all turned out, but I am VERY happy this all happened….”

The weeks after Comic con:

“Since Comic Con, I was bombarded with fan requests and messages asking to be my friend. Unfortunately I couldn’t accept them on my private page, but I thought that I still wanted to be friends with these people. So I made a quick fan-page off facebook and now within 2weeks I have 9,000 fans. Is that some kinda of Facebook record? LMAO

But honestly, it’s still shocking and overwhelming, but all the people I have talked to thus far are so awesome it’s all so worth it!

As I sat watching Princess Laya befriend an Ewok, on Star Wars, I couldn’t help but feel a warm fuzzy feeling towards that of the people trying to befriend me. They were all so wonderful, curious and most had nothing but good things to say! But I’m not saying you all are EWOKS!

Gaining internet fame hasn’t changed me one bit. I still spend 4-6hours on the computer, yet instead of watching Anime I am now taking the time to talk to my fans.

Its amazing how many great friends I have already made and hope to continually make!!  I truly feel bless.

So I hope  you all will like my Nigri Please column at Intermixi and if you have any questions for me or tips how to make it cool lemme know.

Oh yeah this weekend I’ll be launching my brand new website (Jessienigri.com) completely controlled by me BWAHAHAHA!

See ya’ll soon…

XOXO

Let’s go to Japan!

Tokyo Game Show Tour

Watch it now before the man shuts it down!

No it’s not a bad Spiderman storyline…

The dates have been shifted by a day on this year TGS Tour as well an additional day added at no extra charge.

So the new dates are as follows:

TOKYO GAME SHOW TOUR: September 23rd – 30th

KAME HAME KANSAI EXT PACK: September 30th – 3rd

Just confirmed for the tour as well, will be a trip to the Square Enix Showroom in the heart of Shinjuku, Tokyo!

Secluded in the most unlikely of places, anyone visiting Japan will tell you getting here no easy task. But Intermixi did, and we’d like to do it again for you…

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect reason to join this tour, now is that time!

PS: We’re not just done yet. More event confirmations coming soon!

After careful tallying of both the online and offline votes, we not have the accurate count in:

[poll id="17"]

Yes, folks Kenichi Matsuyama is the winner of the final match and recipient of the 2009 YELLOW FEVER AWARD…

Kumi Koda… what happened?

Kumi Koda supporters (who showed such a strong presence in the women conference finals) are obviously crushed and shocked by the turn out.  But, before they jump off that ledge they can certainly take away a few things. Kuu-chan beat the girl most saw as unbeatable, Utada Hikaru. It wasn’t an easy road but fans can certainly be proud of the fact that Kumi Koda will always be the 2009 champion of the women. That is a fever all of it’s own…

(Both Kumi Koda’s and Kenichi Matsuyama’s representing agencies will attempt to be informed of their respective victories.)

Thanks to everyone who voted and be sure to keep checking in for post interviews, analysis, potential candidates for 2010 and await as we launch the next edition of the YELLOW FEVER AWARDS!!

As announced at Anime Expo last weekend, we now have the prices and main itinerary for this years Tokyo Game Show Tour!

Reservations are now open and we are now excepting the “early bird” signup discount till July 31st. Regular deadline is August 21st.

So take a look and sign up today!
