Return from Megacon...

Well, I'm back from Megacon, and it was a lot of fun. I got to get signed pics from both Brian Clevinger (from 8-bit theater ) and Tim Buckley (from crtl alt del ). Out of the two of them, I'm going to say that Brian was by far a lot more friendly and a lot more enthusiastic towards the crowds. Tim just kind of seemed... disintrested. Still, I'm happy to have met both of them, and I got to steal their souls with my camera... =). I also got a bunch of signed prints from both of them, so that's good too.

I went to the convention wearing my foxtail, and I picked up a chocker with a bell on it and another set of cat ears to add to my "costume". It really wasn't that good of a costume, but I did get one person to ask me for my picture =). There's another convention coming to Orlando in April, so I hope to have a decent Cosplay outfit by then, since I'm hoping to attend.

Outside of the above, my friends and I also got to meet the people from red vs blue , we got to see numerous people in cosplay, and the winners of the AMV contest (we didn't realize there was more than one room being used in the convention hall until near the end time of that conteast, so we missed the bulk of the AMV's =(. )The people from Reaper minis also had a room there where one could walk in, pick up a free model, use their free paint, and walk out with your creation. So of course, we painted minis too. I'm just kind of unhappy that I couldn't do anything with shading (only had like 4 colors there, so I ended up mixing my own), but a free model is a free model...

Also, my wallet now hates me. Apparently they had cheep anime there, including the Excel Saga (so wanted to watch that), Chobits (the only place that sold it in my area had to close because the mall they were in had a deal with another company on DVDs, so I've only seen the first volume), and Hellsing (hey, I like horror...), so naturally those anime found their way into my collection. Unfortunately, after all the costs were totaled, I basicly left one paycheck in Orlando. Luckily, I had the foresight to put money away for all my bills before I left. Well, except gas, but I was able to borrow ten bucks off of Aaron for that.

As to Xboxlive and my Xboxlive gamer tag, I'll think about giving that out, though at the moment, I'm in no hurry to post it on my blog. Besides, I'm far more often mining asteroids on EVE than I am on live, which is a shame because Viva Pinata is such a good game. As to must have games for the 360, I'd recommend Oblivian for its single player, Gears of War for its Multiplayer (single player has no story or character development =(. ), Dead Rising for the Zombie Killing, and Viva Pinata for something just plain fun. As to what to get on the Arcade, Geometry Wars; Retro Evolved is good, Luminous is decent, Outpost Kutimost (Or something like that) is a pretty intresting strategy game, assualt heroes is a neat shoot em up, and any retro game you enjoyed a while back. Also, when it comes out, you might also want to pick up Catan as another strategy game, since the board game was very fun.

Anyway, I know the bulk of this post was a quick summary of megacon, but I need to call it a night. ~Night!
