The Crazed Ramblings of a Bored Man

Edit: Reposting this 'cause I'm an idiot that didn't read the "Save Draft" button and thought it was published :V

Well here we are again, it's always such a pleasure

Remember when I went to the expo twice?

Oh how I laughed and laughed

And I was really laughing

Under those circumstances, I had a great time

Go buy some collectible items,

That's what I'm counting on...

I used to blog daily, but, now I only blog yearly.

There were cosplayers,

(some were... quite the trannies)

And a few of there photos are on my phone.

One day I uploaded them

So they could live forever

It's such a shame I deleted the

Flandre Scarlet!

The performances were quite exciiitiiiing!

That's what I was counting on...

I used to blog daily, but, now I only blog yearly.

Goodbye to another expo.

Oh, it was a fun one.

It would be fun, if it didn't end.

Well, roll on Octo-oh-ber,

I can't wait un-til then!

If I make this blog, maybe I'll stop thinking of it!

You want those pictures? Take them.

That's what I'm counting on...

I used to blog daily, but, now I only blog yearly.

Now I only blog

yearly.

An MCM-themed remake of Want You Gone from Portal 2. That was fun to make. Anyway! Here are some pictures. Not many this time.

[hide=Pictures]

Chell, Wheatley and GLaDOS. I really liked the humanized-GLaDOS, especially since she's holding POTaTOS <3

 

BIT.TRIP RUNNER! As much as I HATED that game (when getting the potato for the Portal 2 ARG), this was a good cosplay.

 

CHIESTER 45! FIYAH! FIYAH! FIYAH!

 

CONGRATULATIONS! I AM... BEAAAATOREEEEEECHAY!

 

I'm her biggest fan - I'll follow her until she loves me. Papa. Paparazzi. Funnily enough, I had been thinking if someone would ever cosplay as Ms. Gaga (particularly in this outfit), and then she came up on stage for a performance! Psychic, or what?

 

Heavy decided to lose weight, branch out and divorce the Medic. For Lara Croft? Bad choice, Heavy, bad choice.

 

Why is the Minecraft character so adorable? \(^3^)~

 

Neytiri and her buddy. A pretty amazing cosplay, in my opinion.

 

THAT SPY IS SHAGGIN' YER MA'

 

Whereas that Spy is doing the right thing and shagging the ever-so-sexy Female Spy.

 

MOTHERDUCKING XENOBLADE BATCHES!!!@@@@!!!/////@@@@@@@@@@@@@

 

And the 3DS, with Ocarina of Time 3D.

[/hide]

Well, that's all. See you again, in October, I hope!

Woah its been awhile since my last blog o_O

Well today I had 3 periods of Maths. I'm not good at maths. SO instead of actually doing maths, I ended up doing these:

Yeah I know, they're crap. Thats because I have the drawing skills of a duck.

Also, Blue and Orange doesn't show up very well ;--;

Well, thats all.

Byeh~

~Req

Ahoy guys!

I'm back from the MCM Expo and I'm currently suffering with post-event leg death.

But lets get started, shall we?

I arrived at the ExCeL Center at about 11am, later than last time due to the fact that after 11am there is absolutely no que for the Tickets >_<

I met my friend there aswell, but I only saw him like 4 times for the 7 hours I was there >_<

I wandered around the hall, admiring everyones cosplays (trying to name them was hard ;v;) and drooling over a hat which was Pedobears head with Knee length tassels <3:

I managed to receive a measly 23 hugs. I blame it on my sign - it was a small piece of paper which acted like a flag. In October, I'm taking a Banhammer with Free Hugs on it >_<

I will upload a picture of it if you wish!

After wandering around like a lost sheep, I got settled at the Nintendo Unleashed stall - which was dominant over the gaming section this time (no EA Vault, WTF?!). There was Professor Layton's latest game, Bowser's Inside Story and Dragon Quest on the DSi XL and best of all - Super Mario Galaxy 2 full game playable demo <3:

I played it, on a level called Cosmic Cove. It is seriously... out of this world (no pun intended!). The graphics are amazing, and the tech is even better. The level I was on was all water, so it was a globe/sphere (whatever) of water and it was awesome cause it looked so awesome <333

At the end of the day about 4:30ish, I sat down at the Cosplay@MCM Exhibition and watched the Cosplay Contest. The best ones up there was the L4D2 Performance and the entire cast of Tekken 6.

I got a bunch of fr33 st00f aswell! I got 2 My HiME (My Princess) DVDs. Issue 1 and 5, which is a little [developmentally delayed]ed. Why not use Issue 1 and 2? :/

I also got 3 Lost Planet 2 VS Shirts which look hawt <3

I'll upload pictures of those if you wish!

But now for the all important part!

Pictures!

[hide=Pictahs]

So thats it for this expo. Can't wait until October! This time I hope to smuggle Racheya into it so she can go to a LDN Expo :twisted:

I'll go back to nomming my Egg Fried Rice now :thumbup:

See you in another 5 months! Baibai~!

~Req

Firstly, forgive my no-blogging for the past... months? Yeah.

I couldn't be bothered :thumbup:

But my main reason for making this blog tonight is:

OMG MCM EXPO IN LIKE..... 10 HOURS <33333333333

I'll be posting a blog on it when I get back from it, but I've heard that there will be some sort of Steampunk Exhibition there of which I'm really excited about. I <3 Steampunk Monocles

So I'll see you then for a full blog of the Expo :3

~Req

Well, here I am again. Less eccentric then the last one (probably cause I'm uber tired D:)

Today I bring you ANOTHER project!

This one is on a bigger scale than the last however...

Basically, whilst at school, I found out the truth of what happens to your coursework after you leave school.

It gets binned in the closest skip.

At break, by friend decided to pick up this chessboard, which was made by an ex-DT student and had recently been chucked. It was in beautiful condition, no cuts, cracks, bruises, drop marks and the back wood was pine - extra points!

He offered it to me or my other friend, and I took it because I instantly thought: UMINEKO CHESS OMFG!

So here I am today, or tomorrow - you decide, posting this.

At the moment, the Umineko Chess Set is nowhere near completion. I'd give it a 15/100% completion rate.

Here is a picture of the backboard as of 18/03/2010

Of course - I can't take all the credit. I've got to thank Rachey for making the One-Winged Eagle template before Feburary of this year and for advising me on to Metallic Pen-it Gold (that gives it it's shine).

For 100% completion, I will have to hand-craft these character out of clay:

[hide=My Set][/hide]

[hide=Racheya's set][/hide]

Yes, she gets a better set then me :( (she gets the witches).

So yeah, hopefully tomorrow or on the weekend I can get my hands on the clay. I hope its not to hard. It doesn't seem it tbh.

See you in awhile!

I need sleeps

Take Care

~Req

Mmmm Good Evening.

Yet another 4 months has passed and another MCM has occured!

This time it was in the Midlands (Telford). Telford is a really nice city in the North of England. It's quiet and the citizens there seem to be friends with everyone...

Anyway...

After arriving in Telford Central after a 2-3 hour train journey, we walked to the Telford International Centre where the expo was being held. It wasn't as big as the October-London one but it was just as awesome!

I even met the lovely and famous... Racheya! Unyu~!

There were quite good cosplays there actually - some better than the London one...

Examples were:

Bayonetta

COMPANION CUBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <3: <3: <3: <3:

The Disney Princesses - as zombies

Pikachus

BEATRICE AND A BERNKASTEL FROM UMINEKO NO NAKU KORO NI <3: <3: <3: <3: <3: <3:

and the list goes on.

Unfortunately, I was basically dead and couldn't operate my camera, so there is no pictures this time.

SEE YOU IN ANOTHER 4 MONTHS.

WELL IT'S BEEN A MIGHTY WHATEVER WEEKS SINCE MY LAST BLOG ENTRY

SO I'D THOUGHT I'D POST SOMETHING

I JUST DID.

AT NIGHT.

ALONE.

No, it's NOT what you think. Instead, I made a HMD (Head-mounted display) for an upcoming Anime Expo (EXPECT A BLOG ON THAT OR DIE).

It was rather simple - more so that I thought.

Firstly, here is a picture:

MARVEL AT MY AMAZING TRANSPARENCY SKILLS

[hide=CLICK FOR PURE SEX][/hide]

[The odd bits of red are my walls, not blood of my victims.]

How I did it:

Well, it started around 11pm when I was chatting to Rachael about the Focus Sight...

SUDDENLY I noticed my Makeshift Gasmask and remembered the Visor part of it - made of simple bendable plastic.

So what do I do?

I find my Tellurion Project and rip up all of the small boxes of plastic to make two parts: The Eyepiece and the Bridge.

The Eyepiece was very delicately cut and so too was the Bridge (noticedthe curve - pure workmanship, eh?)

Then I considered what to use as the base (earpiece thingy). Then what do I see in my drawer? A broken set of headphones that clip round the ear.

Immediately, I cut the earpiece off and used double-sided tape to stick Plastic parts onto it. I then re-inforced the double-sided tape with... MORE TAPE! White tape this time - 1) To match the base and 2) To colour over.

Then I simply drew the logo of my Empire from Nationstates onto the base (and the earpiece - which you can't see in this angle).

Then for lols, I added a piece of the wire I snipped off to make it look authentic.

HMD done!

So yeah! Totally random and out of boredom. :twss:

NOW IT IS TIME TO SLEEP.

GOODNIGHT ALL.

~Req

Ahoy!

Requiem here.

Basically, I'm only here writing this cause it's 3:28am and I can't sleep.

Firstly, Happy New Years guise!

Don't ask me about my NY Resolutions. I'm not really into that kinda crap <_< They never really happen, considering my life is basically a mix and match of randomness and Japanese things...

I DO have some goals for RS however. Hopefully 99 Defence by the end of the year and possibly 99 HP too!

I acquired the Akiko Shikata album (singer for Umineko no Naku Koro ni) - it's brilliant! You guise should REALLY try to listen to her, if your into Japanese stuffs :3

Uhh, I recently got 88 Defence via Slayer. Oh, and I've been stuck with God Knows how many tasks of Kurasks. It's been Kurasks > Something else > Kurasks > Something Else etc...

Happy 2010 guise!

What else can I write...

Umm, I'm writing 3 articles for my School on games. It's an extension of my Media Coursework, as my work was chosen to go in a Gaming Gazette (school based). I'm writing the second issue, all by myself. The articles are called:

1) Get WET!

Subheading: Now that I've got your attention, this is really a game called WET.

2) Team Fortress 2

Subheading: A look into the Team based FPS masterpiece by Valve.

3) A Scape of Fun: RuneScape

Subheading: Delve into the Medieval MMORPG created by award-winning Jagex!

Yeah. I've got like... 3 days to write them, and at my standard they have to be at least 5-10 pages long :thumbup:

Also: Happy New Year!

So yeah, 3:40am... I spent... 12 minutes writing this blog (interrupted by Music, Kitties and my friends on MSN)

Yeah, you can tell when I'm bored - I actually do maths!

~Req

[P.S: Happy New Year! Wait, did I already say that? <3]

Ahoy!

After a pain-staking week of on-and-off agility, I finally achieved 70 Agility!

(Pics or it didn't happen):

Now I can host Saradomin Events and regain my quest cape!

Hurrah!

~Req

On Saturday 24th October through to 25th (Sunday), there was an expo. The MCM, or the Movies, Comics and Media expo.

It was held at the London ExCeL center, and wow.

It was absolutely amazing.

I arrived at 7am and waited in a que until 7:45am. After, we had to que until 9:30am to buy our tickets (teaches me to bludey not get tickets in advance). After getting our tickets, we went into another que and FINALLY got in at 10am.

It was an amazingly large hall. Giant posters filled the ceiling, and there was shops selling all sorts of Japanese-Chibi-Related stuff. I was literally having a seizure.

The first thing I did, besides name all cosplayers I could (there are some pictures!) is I went straight to the EA Vault to play L4D2. Although I waited 45 minutes, I played for 5 minutes - and it was AWESOME.

I got to play Lego: Rock Band. It's okay, but I was drumming and it was simply: PEDAL, PEDAL, GREEN for 4 minutes ;_;

I lol'd so hard, because there were two Zombies who were mascots for L4D2 and they went on stage and played. They're good singers you know, these Zombies.

Then, at about 3pm, the female zombie came and watched the players, and started Dancing. It was cute, in her own zombie-licous way.

I wondered around, receiving hugs from fellow weaboos (due to my sign which said: FREE HUGS!). I received 52 hugs in total. I even got one from the L4D2 Zombie Mascot, who was rather cute. She stumbled over to me, blood soaked, with her arms out. I hugged her, and said "It's okay, Ms. Zombie. I understand your problems".

The Cardboard vest, which I got 52 from

At 2pm, I went to a Japanese-Katakana caligraphy session. I learned how to spell my name:

ジヨゼフ

I bought a little Totoro plush, which I've caressed from the moment I've got it until I got home.

Although my legs basically fell off, I managed it and got back home :3

Now! Picture time! They are extremely large, so yeah:

[hide=Piccytures]

A working R2-D2!

A cosplayer as a character from Ouran High School Club

The Stargate: Atlantis team

The Starship Troopers!

My Zombie Lover, of whom hugged me <3 (The guy in the picture is the EA Staff who chained her up :( )

The only decent Link CP I saw...

OH SHI- IT'S OUT TO GET MEH D:

Possibly the BEST cosplay. It's GLaDOS, from Portal - the cores are amazingly well done!

I don't even know what this is, but he is FREAKING AWESOME.

Spy sappin' mah computers D:

The utmost disturbing one. Transvestite Miku Hatsune o_O

Dalek - someone is actually inside that you know!

The ZOMBIE BAND.

This video is one my friend took, who came with me:

The TF2 team decide to play L4D2 >_>

Snake and his box <3

GHOSTBUSTERS!

And lastly: Bill from L4D.

[/hide]

That's all :(

Oh well, I'm going again in February!

~Req

Nothing much interesting happened today to be very honest.

My friend sent me a link to "Al Capone's Vault of Mysteries" - I've not loll'ed that hard in a few days. Ah the crazy idiots.

I'm currently sitting here thinking what to write in today's blog, whilst listening to my favourite song - of ALL time. Taishou.a - anNina. It's the Ending Theme of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni KAI. God damn, this song is brilliant. Note: CHECK IT OUT. While your there, go to my YouTube account and watch Higurashi no Naku Koro ni play list. Brilliant anime <3

No Umineko episode today - Me and Rach were hoping for EP.15 today. I already know what's going to happen, because of my brilliant logic - but still. UMINEKO FTW <3

Hopefully going to see 'Zombieland' on Saturday. Looks really good - spent the whole night watching trailers. Damn, Emma Stone is hot in that film <33

While I'm here:

MIKU GOES 笑う笑う笑う笑う笑う

Yes, she does.

I've also developed a love for Kim Swift, a developer (?) at VALVe. My friends and brother think I'm insane, because apparently she's not to their 'tastes'. Their tastes being women on street corners #_# Yes, I went there. I think it got stronger (<3) when I saw her in the multi-lingual interview in Japan for Left 4 Dead 2. She looks even more hawter, but not as hawt as Emma Stone in Zombieland *drools*

Song ended - PLAY IT AGAIN <3

Yeah so, not much to blog about today. I'm at least trying to keep this daily. I've nothing else to do...

~Req

Well, considering me being insane and all that, I'm trying to maintain this blog.

So...

POST #2 *dramatic music*

Boring day as always... According to my friend, I'LL SEE something in the near future. Apparently, this thing that I'LL SEE is a conspiracy against me including:

• Elytra's from Oblivion: Shivering Isles
  Random Birds
  Zoey from Left 4 Dead
  Jeremy Clarkson
  My Car Window
  Chickens
  The Sky
  My TV
  Random Buildings
  and even the atmosphere

So yeah, It's set to be a very, very odd day when the conspiracy is set in motion :shock:

Considering making a new video soon, for those of you who don't know: www.youtube.com/Requiem1160

So, that's all I'm posting for today.

See, no insanity today - I'm learning :mellow:

Well, this is like my first blog ever :unsure:

Hmm... the main use of blogs is to... tell others about your current activities....

NO.

This blog will be used as a basis for my general insanity. :^_^:

I might upload the occasional picture I've drawn from UTTER BOREDOM, but y'know...

Also, RACHEYA WILL DIE :twisted:
