The “furries” were in town for the annual Anthrocon convention, the world's largest convention for those fascinated with anthropomorphics, which are human-like animal characters.
Thousands of “furries” come every year in June and cause quite a stir on the streets on Pittsburgh. Most people stop and stare. Some even take photos with the “furries.”
You may be wondering, what is a furry? Click here for a description on Anthrocon’s website.
On Thursday, Channel 11 hit the streets and spoke with some of the “furries.”
“It’s part of expressing yourself physically and emotionally. It’s an alter-ego. It has a lot to do with art,” said a furry who said she was dressed as a monster.
“A lot of my personality traits fit a husky. I love being cold. I love being outside. I’m usually pretty loyal to people,” said the husky furry.
Channel 11 asked the husky and his friend what they do at the convention. They said they socialize and check out the art.
Channel 11 also caught up with the “bandit wolf” from New York. He didn’t talk but gave Pittsburgh and the convention two thumbs up.
The convention took place at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center Thursday through Sunday.

Maureen O'Connor — Thousands of furries descend on Pittsburgh this weekend, for the sixth annual Anthrocon, America's foremost convention for "anthropomorphics," commonly known as "furries." Participants are already wandering the streets of Steel City, wearing costumes and carrying puppets, posing for pictures with locals, going to raves, and singing "furraoke" while boozing at local bars.

This must be confusing for the children of Pittsburgh.

Furries are expected to spend $5.3 million in four days at the festival, which makes them pretty popular this weekend. Here are some locals talking about furries:

"We love furries," [sandwich shop owner Cory Robinson] said. "They're just people having fun, and they don't hurt anybody." —Sandwich shop owner Cory Robinson

"They love caffeine. We're prepared. We know what they want." —Gift shop owner Tracy Luskovich, gesturing to stockpiles of Mountain Dew

"More fun than the NRA." —Beaver County Times columnist Michael Pound

I have a mild phobia about people in full-face masks. I think it derives from bad childhood experience with a Nutcracker Rat King. Occasionally, I wonder whether a furry horror movie could have the staying power of a Chucky or It. Anyway, irrational fears aside, I applaud the joyous souls of Anthrocon for living their hirsute dreams. May your stay in Teresa Heinz-Kerry's hometown be as fabulous and furry as a ketchup heiress's collection of winter coats. [Post-Gazette, Anthrocon]

Update: As some have noted, Teresa Heinz-Kerry is not a trueborn Pittsburghian, nor is she a current resident! Apologies. Feel free to plug the name of some other, locally relevant rich person into that sentence.

Writer and artist Roger Langridge has previously earned a comic book Harvey Award for his work on The Muppet Show, published by Boom! Studios. Now he returns to Boom! with a completely new full-color original work called Snarked!, coming out this October. But first, Boom! is present a special “Issue 0″ version this August, featuring a self-contained 8-page story and lots of background material for the upcoming series. In Snarked!, Mr. Langridge offers his own take on the world of Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland. Specifically, the crafty Walrus and the rather clueless Carpenter take a young prince and princess off on a wild goose-chase… or rather, a wild snark-chase.

An expired license has done what Shredder, Baxter Stockman, Krang, and even Krang in a big robot suit could never do: defeated the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Reader Marty alerted us to an ad on the PlayStation Store noting that it's the "Last Chance to Purchase!" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled. We then checked with Ubisoft, who revealed to Joystiq that the game is going away in the US on June 30.

So if you were ever planning on trying that out, perhaps with a nice pizza ... do it now. But do replace that pizza you ordered two years ago when you first had the idea.

Sorry about the low quality version, but that's the best I could find to embed. You can see the direct-feed video at the link below. Yes indeed, as we stated a few months back, Jaleel White is coming back to voice Sonic in a fan-film, and it sounds like he's still got it!

Over the past month and a bit we’ve been treated with a few parody-trailers for the upcoming Muppets movie, due in cinemas November 23. Finally, though, we’ve been given the Official Trailer which can be seen below for your viewing pleasure.

American publisher XSEED has just announced that they'll be bringing the long-awaited game Solatorobo to the US this September, ending nearly 12 years of frustration from stateside Tail Concerto fans. Namco Bandai published CyberConnect2's DS action-RPG, Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, in Japan. Nintendo itself picked the game up for Europe and now, finally, XSEED has announced that it'll bring the game to North America.

Solatorobo is set on the floating islands of Shepherd Republic where two races of people, one resembling cats and one resembling dogs live. The floating islands is above a sea of Plasma and French is their native language. The inhabitants of the islands develop and employ specialized robots to do their everyday jobs. Red Savarin, one of the dog people, is requested to obtain an important file that has been stolen and boards the large Hindenburg air ship, deep within which he finds a mysterious medallion-shaped item. A giant creature called Laress appears suddenly beside the ship and sends it into flames. As Red makes his escape, he runs into Elh Melizee, a mysterious cat person. Soon, he and Elh travels all across the Shepherd Republic along with his younger sister Chocolat Gelato, uncovering the mysteries under the medal he suddenly obtained and discover the secret behind Elh's hidden past.

At Pocatello Zoo in Idaho, USA, a young wild marmot became trapped in a water tank, and drew the attention of Shooter, a four-year-old elk who is an exhibit at the zoo.

After sniffing at and circling the tank zoo for fifteen minutes, Shooter leaned into the tank, picked up the marmot in his mouth, and set it on the ground, before nudging it with his hoof. After catching its breath, the the rescued marmot scampered away.

Shooter’s actions were observed by surprised zoo staff. Whilst not sure if Shooter sensed the marmot was in distress – or just didn’t like it in his tank – the staff speculate that, with the elk’s basic needs being met, he was at leisure to exercise thought processes more complex than those needed for just basic survival.
