Animazement 2010!

[Guest Flistan]

I decided to put this under games and gaming since it seemed like the most closely associated thing.

I don't think anyone else was there other than a couple of people I know that may be on here or is... But I had a great weekend!

(Me and mah sis. :3 )

Anyone have some pictures to share or stories? Anyone else go to other anime cons?

Yay fun excuse to crossdress and wear man-pants! ^.^

[Guest Ashley C.]

Never been to an anime con, but I'd love to go sometime soon and get my cosplay on .

Nice Cloud getup, by the way. I especially like the hair and the shades ^^. Although, I must say, I didn't really care for Advent Children....(gasp)

[Guest Carden]

Another con goer! Hey.

I just got back from a con a few days ago. Love theeem. The people are always sooo awesome.

I love to crossplay!!

I was Minato Arisato from Persona 3. (Blue hair)

Fun times!

[Guest Flistan]

*GASP*

Eh, that's okay. T.T Did you ever play the game? The movie gets sort of overwhelming if you don't know much about FFVII- especially with all of the fight sequences I must say. x.x They just released an "Advent Children complete" dvd with 30 extra minutes (hoping it isn't more fighting, lol).

Thanks for the compliment. ^.^

Carden- AWESOME cosplay! Yes, crossplay iz amazin'. ^.^ Great excuse for us weird people to crossdress. >.> I haven't played Persona 3 but I'm in to Persona 4. I remember being told about Minato though by one of my obsessive game friends. Nice job! ^.^

Crossplay hug! *hug*

[Guest Ashley C.]

Yes, I first played FFVII back when I was about 14, I think. Not surprisingly, it just made me angstier haha . Still...I've played it through to completion three or four times, and I think it's one of the greatest RPGs of all time. It definitely played a big part in shaping who I am today .

I remember way back when, I used to love dressing up Cloud and traipsing around Corneo's mansion...look where that led me lol!

Cloud: "I'll cut them off."

Tifa: "I'll rip them off."

Aeris: "I'll smash them."

XD

[Guest Carden]

Thanks.

Persona 4 is awesome. Not quite as good as 3, in my opinion, but it is fun none the less.

Also, on Cloud is that a wig or your natural hair? It looks really good either way!

I love Advent Children but yes, it is a total fan service movie. Not really meant to be 'quality'. (But the graphics are so pretty!!)

[Guest Flistan]

Sometimes I wonder how far they can stretch the continuum of the FFVII timeline and plot to make more games for it. o.0 I mean, it's a good story, but... like... don't frikkin' KILL the poor thing! I heard they're coming out with a new Turk game where you can make your own turk- so I heard at con from Reno... >.>

Actually that's my annoying natural hair color but it is a wig that I bs-ed on styling as well as my sister's. >< Didn't have enough time. I had another one but it started getting fuzzy- then I started restyling it and it turned out like a Sora wig but blond. ><

Honestly I think my favorite Final Fantasy is FFX. I ADORE FFX. I grew up with a demo of VIII though, so that gave me good memories too. Honestly, I can barely get through VII cuz I can't handle the pixely-ness. T.T

[Guest Carden]

A turk game? Hmm could be interesting. I liked CC and DOC ... only DOC was a little too cut scene oriented.

They do beat that game to death with spin offs. Dang money grabs.

Hahah, Sora wig. XD Do you liek Roxas or Sora better?

FFX was cool. Didn't play much of it but it was fun. I like eight and two the most though. Squall *swoons*.

Yeah, the graphics were pretty ... choppy ... hahaha.

[Guest Micha]

Awesomeness! And nice sword.

I dug advent children and FFVII, but I thought VIII was better. My favorite is either tactics or IV.

[Guest Ashley C.]

Oh, Tactics and IV are both wonderful. I'm definitely most partial to VIII and VII, though. If Square-Enix made a "make your own Turk" game, I would definitely buy it, money-grabbing be damned lol....I always loved the weird dynamic between your party and the Turks in FFVII.

But yes, Squall....*swoon* hehe.

[Guest Flistan]

Carden: I'm thinking of doing Dissidia Squall next. ^.^ Hmm... idk which I like more... I sort of like both Roxas and Sora for different reasons... Riku all the way. >3

I really can't wait until I have some time to dig into VIII for real. Uuuugh all of these games I need to play... ><!!!

I mean, I REALLY have been waiting to play VIII like crazy... I started but never finished.

Dissidia Squall ftw!

I hear IV is like the best, but idk- what's it like? I'm honestly not into the old-school retro magic stuff anymore- I feel like I need to play games that stray from the mages and whatnot. Unfortunately I heard Tactics was also good put I played the Advanced version and it SUUUUCKED. I could not finish it. It was TERRIBLE. T.T I mean, it was good for the first hour or so... I suppose...

They have a game on the ipod called "Song Summoner" that's just like it, seriously. XD

Cool idea though- turning your songs on your playlists into warriors.

Now guys... if I cosplay Dissidia Squall you guys aren't gonna swoon over me, are ya? o.0 No, not more fangirls!

AAAAAaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!thepilehasswallowedmewholeheeeelllp......

Fangirls actually made me homophobic for a year once... o.0 Lol not anymore though... >.>

[Guest Renny-sama]

well atleast I'm not alone on this forum... I've had experiences that rival this only I don't have pics sadly... any of you wanna hear my first Crossplay tale?

[Guest Carden]

@Shift

... I may glomp you ... but that is the extent. XD WHEEEE!

@Renny

I wanna hear!!!!!

[Guest Flistan]

Crossplay tales are always the best! *hunkers down on floors with pillows looking intently with a bag of popcorn*

Longest.

Emote.

EVER.

[Guest Renny-sama]

okay... I was at my first anime con, playing my DS when these sailor scout cosplayers came up to me and the sailor moon cosplayer asked: "Will you be our sailor jupiter? our old one is sick back at the hotel."

"Uh... no thanks..." then I left toward the front where the registration line was... I saw my friends in their place in line... just waiting to register, then I heard: "Get him!" From behind me and I somersaulted behind, rolling right under the Sailor moon cosplayer as she jumped forward... all the other sailor scouts jumped too and they piled on top of each other and I got away... then they started chasing me and they tried cutting me off a few times. they must've needed me badly... they had every single sailor scout after me except jupiter and we ran around the convention center about 7-8 times... I was getting tired, I tried a desperate ploy to ditch into the boys washroom but I went into the girls washroom instead... they got me and they did me up (wish I had pics :C) and fortunately I noticed the Sailor Venus cosplayer slip something into my jeans back pocket while I was changing, but when I changed back, I checked it and there was a hundred dollar Bill, After that day I found the cosplayer again on the final day (I was cosplaying as Bartz Klauser from dissidia and she was lust from Fullmetal Alchemist) and thanked her...

so what do you think?

[Guest Carden]

Cosplayers are a crazy bunch. XDD Hence why I am one of them.

Hundred bucks? Nice mate! You buy some wicked anime stuff with it? Love the big dealer rooms all the cons have.

You must have been a pretty good Jupiter too.

Sweet story.

[Guest Flistan]

0.o Holy crap dude. YOU'VE BEEN CONVERTED INTO A MALE STRIPPER. XDDD That's really awesome though. Sounds like this one cat guy at con a couple of years ago that was SOOOO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL-SEXY that EVERYONE wanted his picture and chased him around con. They chased him up a tree... 3: Poor kitty.

I'll share a story! A picture is worth 1,000 words...

http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&sect...d+reno#/d1fnr8u

Your turn for a story! ^.^

Cosplay stories are always the best.

[Guest Carden]

Hahaha. Chased someone up a tree? Intense!

Free hugs FTW!!

Hmm, two years ago I cosplayed as Zelos Wilder from Tales of Symphonia. Apparently a lot of people like Zelos. so, I was standing in front of the convention centre, posing and people were taking my picture. Normal. Then out of no where a sexed up female Genesis (Final Fantasy) glomped me from behind and started kissing me. Scared me half to death because I wasn't expecting it. The funny part was that for the remainder of the Con I would just be walking and people would run up to me and start discussing GenesisxZelos pairings. XD

I was amused. And made a friend. XD Though, I did have to buy some mouth wash, felt kind of violated.

[Guest Flistan]

Wooooooow... XD That's so great. *tear* I love cosplay stories... People have glomped me, stalked me, and dragged me into a yaoi shoot but thank goodness I have not yet been violated or undressed in a bathroom. XD

...one of my stalkers met me in the bathroom once though... >.>

There was this little girl who dressed up as Lucy from Elfen Leid. She was SOOOOO SWEEET and adorable. I think she may have been between 9-12 years old? She loved Cloud and we took a picture together. <3

[Guest Renny-sama]

well that's pretty darn intriguing....and this is getting pretty interesting lol
