Adam Savage of Mythbuster's fame has become a staple at the annual San Diego Comic-Con and released a video yesterday in which he discussed getting ready for the big event.

Each year, Savage and the mythbusters crew have a panel during the con, but on top of that he also goes "incognito" around the convention floor. Over the years he has appeared in costume as a number of characters including a ring wraith from Lord of the Rings, The Rocketeer, Jack Sparrow and more. This year he is teasing an all new costume he has created.

Savage spent years working as a model maker at Industrial Light and Magic working on films like Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Since leaving the model making business Savage has continued to make prop replicas and often posts videos on his progress.

The gang also discussed the Comic-Con party scene, including Savages failed attempt at crashing the EW party and thus starting his own annual Comic-Con party. They go through the "real comic-con," artists alley and talk about etiquette when approaching cosplayers, especially of the female variety: "Don't be a creeper!"

Check it all out below:



Co-hosts on this video are Will Smith and Norman Chan who have been covering consumer electronics and the Internet for the past ten years, the last two of which were spent building Tested as a place for users to learn about technology and share their passions.
