Now that SDCC has officially started for the masses, the halls are getting more packed and the convention is getting more hectic. But that won't stop me from having fun and sharing the experience with you all.

Much of the early part of the day was spent waiting in line to get into the exhibit hall, which was stressful, because convention workers gave me six different places to wait in line. None of that was really a problem since I had no real events planned and my exclusives were already bought, but nonetheless, it was a drag.

I am burdened with glorious purpose.

Lots of wandering happened next, with several fun sightings of the cast of "Scorpion," Edward James Olmos from "Battlestar Galactica," Brian O'Halloran from "Clerks" and original Power Ranger Walter Jones. Lots of fun cosplayers were spotted, making up for last night, which had very few. Sadness from "Inside Out," Red She-Hulk and my personal favorite: Art3mis and Parzival from the excellent sci-fi novel, "Ready Player One," soon to be adapted into a movie by Steven Spielberg.

I also sat through three panels in low-key rooms, but even they required a line. What a world. First up, a panel about a new video game that features He-Man, G.I. Joe and Assassin's Creed characters — all in action figure form. That's right, the game is you playing as an action figure. The game's creators showed off cool footage and panel moderator, IGN's Greg Miller, scored some laughs. He also called me out for recognizing him from his work at IGN.com.

Next up, a panel about Industrial Light and Magic, the visual effects company founded by George Lucas. The panelists played footage from "Star Wars," "Avengers" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" and showed a sneak peak of the upcoming film, "Warcraft", which they claim will be a great leap forward in visual effects.

Finally, a panel with Legacy Effects, practical effects masters of Hollywood, whose credits include "Jurassic World" and "Terminator Genisys." They talked about the industry, how they compete with computers and showed off a dinosaur head that moved and made sounds.

Day One was great and successful, but tomorrow comes the hard part — getting into the 5,000-seat room that houses panels for the biggest shows on right now.

Wish me luck as I brave the masses again! See you next time!
