So Otakon is coming up, and I've been wondering things but have been to busy with work to ask. Is anyone from the comm going and what are you cosplaying? Anyone doing anything NiGHTSy? I'll be going as NiGHTS(hurr hurr lol) and randomly scaring poor children~

Don't leave this poor Nightmaren all alone...; 3 ;

I've gone every year since 2003. Or was it 2004? Either way I'm afraid I may not be going this year. I don't have the money for a convention and it sucks because I love going.

EDIT: I looked at my badges and they start at 2005. It still feels like I went 2004 though. Maybe I lost a badge. I can't really remember.

Next year I should make a point of going to at least one big con.

I've got some good news. I still have a chance to go but sadly I won't be able to keep my badge but I'm fine with that. If you see a tall black guy wearing a SegaShiro shirt with Segata Sanshiro looking badass on it then that's me.


EDIT
Scratch all of this. I have no idea what's going on anymore. I'll just see what happens tomorrow.

Cheap regeistration for Anime Boston 2011 is at Otakon, for anyone interested. AB is great fun in a beautiful venue, and our mini NiD.com meetup this year was zany and great. :P

Don't worry, it's not like we actually made a plan or anything. :( Eternal only found me because someone asked for her picture because she saw NiGHTS, so she asked where I went.

I didn't even see this thread until now! Otakon is in my hometown of Baltimore, and this year my podcast applied for (and subsequently got) a panel at Otakon. There are thousands of things that happened, but I'll try to keep the list short and relevant.

I showed up to get my badge Thursday night, and then on Friday came to just wander about and hang out with the crew a bit. I very very randomly saw a NiGHTS cosplay there, and I was all "HOLY CRAP IT'S NiGHTS! Oh, and you even had the ASR flag! You wouldn't by chance be on the forums, would you?" Turned out I was actually talking to Kamui, and I was floored. The cosplay was AWESOME! Apparently there was also a Reala floating about but I didn't see Reala until Saturday at the OCR panel. The OCR panel was SIIIIIICK! The room was huge and there were more people there than I could have ever thought. I didn't realize OCR had such a huge thing at Otakon (this was my first year going since I became involved in the community in any capacity). NiGHTS and Reala were in the audience, and they got a special huge round of applause as *gasp* a NiGHTS: Lucid Dreaming preview video was played! Four of the projects on the site got preview videos: DKC3, Sonic 1, NiGHTS, and MegaMan X series. NiGHTS actually got a lot of support despite a less-than-stellar editing job by yours-truly of the video stuff. I tried to find NiGHTS and Reala after the panel but they'd up and gone before I could say hi again ;_; Also, my OCAD panel was ridiculous. Flareon erotic fanfic reading and pickles in a bag and sock-stuffed crotches and OH SO MUCH MORE!

Otakon ruled, but next year hopefully we can plan any kind of meetup between the NiGHTS-fans for food or something.

Next up is MAGFEST!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!

I will try to make sure I can go next year. I'm a bit down since I couldn't experience it this year.

I believe this is the image? Courtesy of a random person's gallery on a random website.

Hope you don't mind me posting this. If you do, I'll take it down if asked.

Next up is MAGFEST!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!

I'm still learning what this convention is about. Is it a strictly video game playing convention, a video game music convention, or just a video game convention in general?

YUP YUP YUP! That was here! You should have seen the smile on my face.

Also, I think this was probably one of the more funny cosplays:

Don't you love alt costume colors?

I'll edit this later today with the gist of what MAGFest is.

I'm shocked to see people cosplay the alt in a decent amount or maybe I'm more shocked that they even acknowledged it's existence. I was caught by surprise when I played SSBB with my friend and I got the pink Falcon. Oddly enough, pink Falcon seems more appropriate. I don't know why. :(

Also, MAGFest is the Music and Gaming festival. It's got a few 24 hour game rooms, including the main auditorium, there's also arcade machines, panels, video game concerts every night, and a jamspace for musicians.

If that's you Level99 then you kind of look a bit like Seth Macfarlane if he had facial hair.

Oh Unlce Stevo, you classy bugger you.

And Kamui, you beat me to the flag! I almost got one, but couldn't find a checkered flag in time for my con. For succeeding, you deserve an award. :(

You know, I actually get that A LOT! And it's quite surprising because when I shave I look even more like him.

Also, I was Reeve when he was with the Turks from the FF7 universe.


I am indeed classy.
