Hey all! Is anyone still subscribed to me? If you are, and you've enjoyed my writing in the past, you might be interested to know that I've migrated over to Archive of Our Own. You'll find an archive of my humor posts from here over there, as well as some of my other works, including my serial novel, "The Wizard's Familiar," which currently updates with a new chapter every Tuesday, and my short story "The Tale of Potato," which is loosely inspired by RuneScape. Here's the link: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Troacctid

I'm also on Tumblr. https://troacctid.tumblr.com/

The smithing guild. This is where I make millions smelting cballs.

so here's the finished product

I kind of went overboard for this assignment. The suggestions were things like Snake... using Phaser (a small JavaScript game framework) or something.

 

 

 

Wave 18 is really hard (when all the bosses respawn). Strategy? Pay attention to the dragon and teleport to the opposite side of the screen when he attacks. Make sure you have a large army of wights summoned.

So, handlettering (and drawing and calligraphy) is one of my offline hobbies. And these last few months I've been busy creating a hand drawn birthday calendar - which is now finally finished!

The hand made original is in possession of The Best Mom In The World (which obviously is my mom :) ) but you can download a copy here:

Same layout as all the other ones.

This is crap I keep to take out regularly. It's even more of a mess this time as I started a quest about a year and a half ago and haven't gotten round to finishing it yet |^_^| It's also got some stuff that I don't know what their use even is. Some alchs that I still haven't gotten round to alching...food for my kitten and um...brawlers that i'm still getting through.

Farming tab! I recently made a bunch of juju farming potions.

Ranarr, toadflax, irit, avantoe, kwuarm, snapdragon, cadantine, lantadyme, dwarf weed.

...Herblore tab :)

Cooking tab.

Wieldables. Also full of crap I have no idea what to do with...

Potions.

Miscellanious junk...

The hoard! Slowly working on farming all those hops seeds...

'Things I can't be arsed selling' (Used to be 'Things I need to sell')(But now I can't even be bothered to sell them)

The Tragically Hip. Is there another band that personifies Canada more completely than the boys from Kingston? Not that I've ever found. Almost every album certified platinum (1,000,000 sales), many of those multi-platinum, and two albums, 1989's Up To Here and 1992's Fully Completely, certified diamond (10,000,000 sales). They've sold more albums than there are people in this country and were it not for a tragic illness we might have have the chance to buy many, many more.

In May of this year it was announced that lead singer, Gord Downie, has terminal brain cancer. If you're not a Canadian it's hard to truly understand how hard that news hit us. This was quickly followed by the announcement of a final Canadian tour to, yes, say goodbye but also to say thank you. To thank the fans, the people, the places, the very country that has supported them for the past 30 years. Those three decades have not been idly spent either. Ask anyone who's ever met them, worked with them, toured them and you'll hear stories of good 'ol boys who never bought into the rock star lifestyle and did their best to stay true to their roots. Who still live in their hometown of Kingston, less than two hours down Highway 401 from Ottawa, and regularly not only give back to the community by lending support to events and charities but also having raised their own families there have been regulars at school and sporting events just chatting and hanging out with other parents like everybody else.

I've heard these stories for as long as I can remember. Personally, my love affair with The Hip started the summer before I started high school. Road Apples had just been released and I was blown away by "Little Bones". I can still hear that opening riff blaring from the speakers of the arcade/pool hall/general store by my aunt and uncle's trailer. The following summer I had my first part time job and one of the first things I bought was a CD player and my very own copies of Road Apples and Up To Here. Later that year Fully Completely was released and I convinced the program director of our school radio station to add "Locked in the Truck of a Car" to the rotation. The Hip were a big part of the soundtrack of my teenage years and have been a favourite of mine ever since.

Fifteen years ago on the day I brought my son Liam home from the hospital "Little Bones" was playing on the radio when I picked up him and his mother at the front of the hospital, and two days ago I got to take him to see them play here in Ottawa for the second last stop on their Man Machine Poem tour. It was awesome and moving and heartfelt and sad and funny and one of the best emotional roller coasters I've ever been on. There wasn't a dry eye in the house when Gord said his final farewell of the night and don't think I'll ever hear "Courage" the same way ever again. It was the first song of the first encore and they hit the first note so hard and the lights came up so bright and it was just such a perfect song to play at that point that I nearly cried again. When they followed it up with "Wheat Kings", all 20,000 of us singing along, I actually did. My son has heard their music literally his entire life and I think he now finally understands why I love them so much.

Tonight our country comes together to bid farewell to some of its favourite sons. Kingston is abuzz with excitement and understandably so. This is a concert series that sold out in record time, even for a group that has a history of selling out Canadian shows faster than many bigger acts in the 90's and early 2000's. Extra shows were added and the CBC is even interrupting their Olympic coverage to broadcast the show live. Earlier today I was in Kingston for a job and I'm glad I wore my Hip cap. I've never had so many people come up and talk to me while I was working. Fans, people they went to school with, even one of their neighbours (if a random person at a gas station can be believed lol). If Thursday's show was any indication then this will be one for the history books. Gord has given us his all this summer and we have given him and the rest of the boys every bit of it back with love and support helping to make this tour absolutely legendary.

I know they'll never see this, but I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to The Tragically Hip for 30 years of music that has been such a big part of my life, for one last tour that gave us a chance to say goodbye, for a special night of memories with my son, for never forgetting who you are and where you came from, and for reminding everyone that Canadians can rock with the best of them.

Finally, I want to say a special thank you to Christa, my ex-wife, who got me the tickets to Thursday's show. Words will never do justice to how much being there with Liam meant to me.

Hey guys!

So I figured that I may as well post something I made to TIF, because why not? :)

[spoiler=Large Image]

They're Terraria characters in wedding garb made out of Perler/Hama beads! They're going to be the cake toppers for Jason and mines wedding cake.

All I have to do is iron them and they'll be done :)

Lemme know what you guys think!

I know it's been forever since I've posted anything here, so here's a bit of a re-introduction:

Hi, I'm Echocut. I believe I started this account in 2004, but I did start earlier (2001?) with a different account. I gave that account away because one of my old school friends wanted to play, but didn't want to start from scratch- and I got bored of that account, so I gave that one to him. Besides, this name fit a bit better with me.

Anyway, 'Scaping is more of a past-time for me because I currently work full time at a factory. I know it isn't what I really want to do, but I've had some difficulty with life these past few years. Money makes the world go round and all that jazz...

What I do like to do is draw and play videogames. I dunno if my old drawings are still here, but take a glance at them and see what you think.

For my art, I post on a different website: DeviantArt. This is my account here, compare it to the ones here and see if I have improved any! >> http://sirechols.deviantart.com/

There are some that are Mature rated, so you might miss out on a few pieces. I do mostly pencil work, but I have some digital scribbles too.

_____

Videogames? I run both the Sony family (PS2, 3, and 4) and Nintendo (GameBoy SP, DS, DSXL, and Wii). Xbox isn't a favorite for me, but I don't think it's a bad platform at all.

I mostly play RPGs. Sports and games like COD or Battlefield don't really interest me. JRPGs are my favorite.

Since my internet at home sucks, Multiplayer games are difficult to play. Destiny was a good game for a while, but connection issues were horrible. Elder Scrolls Online was a joke to play because I'd lag out too much. RIP money. :<

Recently I bought Tales of Zestria and DOOM.

I've played the Symphonia Chronicles on the PS3, so I wanted to have a JRPG for my PS4. I really like it so far, the combat was a bit different from what I'm used to, but once I got over that, it's fun.

DOOM? What can I say? Blowing demons with big effing guns is exactly what DOOM was for me back then. I love that they had the old maps as unlocks, nostalgia abound.

_____

Another thing about me? Uh, I love to read mangas and watch anime. FMA, Inyuasha, and Bleach were my firsts to fully get into the anime world. Of course Pokemon, Digimon, and Dragonball were the ones to start me out, but the others 'sealed the deal'. I would go into more detail, but let's put that for another entry... or something.

_____

Since of my return to RuneScape, I wanted to share my thoughts on stuff that has been released:

NXT: Cool beans, something to download! I'll download it when the Client is no longer available.

New Skill- Invention: Now, I went on my break from RS when this came out- taking my Max cape away. (I only had it a few days too. :<)

Now that I'm back, I'm taking Invention slow. I remember people getting 99/120 a few days after release, which is ridiculous, so I just want to enjoy seeing the levels pop up casually.

Raids (+ GWD2): It's about time, honestly. It needed some end-game stuff for players (and people like me) to keep playing. Now I have something to work towards at least other than getting my Max cape back.

_____

I guess that's all I need to say for this entry. It is odd writing this, but I think I'll get some benefit from it in the long run.

Netflix has its system of recommending other movies and shows for you to watch. I watch Captain America The First Avenger and a que asks me if I want to watch Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk or Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Google has an algorithm for speech recognition. What are these and other companies trying to simulate? They want these models to think like humans. It's not likely that these artificial intelligence models can think like humans, but in some cases, they can actually think better than a human. For example, look at Watson, the famous computer who played Jeopardy and won against humans. Or if there is a database of CAT scans with a certain type of label for a tumor, the artificial intelligence model in that case can very quickly search all of the records and find the desired result.

Unsupervised Learning or Memory Foam

A new and exciting field of "unsupervised learning" is growing in the artificial intelligence world. Much like a human, this object is able to gain understanding as a whole, across many different domains. They are calling this "Memory Foam."

Loughborough University in the UK

A team in the UK at Loughborough University has been working on the Memory Foam concept. A memory foam mattress, which is sometimes called newer generation foam, was actually developed by NASA in 1966 to improve their aircraft cushions. Memory Foam softens and molds in all kinds of ways to your body because of the heat your body gives off. Just like the mattress memory foam, the UK team is trying to program computers in this model to be able to do the same kind of thing. The computer model will form like memory form, taking on the shape of the model that they need it to.

Mary Had a little Lamb

The UK team choose the familiar children's nursery rhyme, "Mary had a little lamb" as the stimulus for their AI model. The computer was able to recognize the song, assimilate it and remembered the components of the song and the frequencies, which was a huge win for Loughborough University and to all of the AI hopefuls as the change that they are looking for.

The rise of the machines

In 1984, we were introduced to Artificial Intelligence in the file, The Terminator. James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger introduced us to machines that could rise up against us, using artificial intelligence. The terminator was able to learn and adapt to the circumstances around us. I don't think we have to worry about Mary and her little lamb turning on us, but like the Terminator said, as far as artificial intelligence and the growth it is going through, "I'll be back."

The Mobile World Conference has kicked off, which means there are a lot of new and exciting technologies being announced and shown off. There are sure to be many exciting things announced in the coming days, but today there have already been some great mobile devices seen. Here is a quick rundown of the most important releases today, thanks to Computer World.

Overall, it seems like the three introduced phones are going to be aimed at very different markets. Though they will probably all see some success, it is too early to know for sure. A lot of the features haven’t been released on the phones yet, and only the Samsung Galaxy has a release date yet. Hopefully, we can get more details soon on the specs of the phones in order to figure out which ones are going to be the best purchase for consumers.

LG G5: Replaceable battery

Most phone manufacturers have switched over to batters that are incased in the phone, so you can’t switch it out and are forced to use portable battery chargers if you want to extend the longevity of your phone life. A lot of people have been upset with this as the option for replaceable battery phones has started to dwindle. Fortunately, the LG G5 battery can be replaced by slipping off the bottom part of the phone and popping it out. The bad news is the phone won’t be waterproof, which might kill the deal for a lot of mobile users.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge: Slight changes

Though the Galaxy phones are definitely new and improved from last year’s models, they are still showing improvements that fans are happy with. The screen sizes increase slightly to 5.1 inch diagonal with the S7 and 5.7 inch diagonal with the Edge, and the Edge will have more screen space with the rounding edge like last year’s model. The camera is improved, and overall, the phone is sleeker than before. The Micro SD tray has been added back this year, which people are very happy about, and it is again waterproof, which is another huge bonus for Galaxy fans.

HP Elite x3: All about IT

As a Windows phone the, HP Elite x3 is designed to have the ability to plug into a monitor and keyboard and run just like a full-blown computer. It has a windows operating system and a lot of potential for personalization used in businesses. This is especially helpful for businesspeople who are going to be on the run a lot and don’t want to lug around a computer when they want to hop on and do some work. The phone is also going to be waterproof and claims to be able to withstand drops up to four feet, which makes it fairly durable to hand out to employees if your business wants to run with it.

The fastest way to get there is Hoardstalker ring teleport.

Wear your best melee weapon and armor.

Because these creatures have high defense, Turmoil prayer and Scrimshaw of attack are useful.

Bring 3 overload, 5 prayer flask, 4 adrenaline flask;

Bring Dreadnip, it could be very useful.

Bring healing e.g. Excalibur, good quality food

Bring 1 Portent of life or death, and 1 house tab, just in case you are low health.

Don't need to worry its special, just tank it, soul split if needed.

Since the recent invention update, you can disassemble most of its drop. So don't bring pack yak, bring 2 Steel Titan.

I came back home 4 days ago. It has been an agonizing 3 months spent in San Francisco not being able to find a job and being ostracized for my recently diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia and what I consider to be intense Aseperger's. I got hurt in San Francisco and decided I should go back home.

 

Back in Florida I was about to go to a job interview, called up my cousin who I asked to watch the dogs while I went to a job interview... He flipped out and thought I was trying to hurt the dogs (he believes everyone's things to be his) and rushed over.

 

A slam on the door. "OPEN THIS [bleep]ING DOOR!" I unlock the door, and it gets flung open. There he is, dressed all in green like a fat kid at the fair, green shades, you'd never guess this manchild was 30. I'm 25 and taller and much better shape for reference.

 

He grabs all three dogs in his hands and bolts for his car.

 

Naturally my id fires off full force and howls "BRING BACK MY PUPS!" I chase after him, the dogs whimpering and Bindi very likely pissing herself. Nikki poor dimentia/cancer ridden addled dog was scared shitless and biting my cousin, and Bubba was shaking badly.

 

I threw myself on his front door and lodged my hand inside his car, screaming for him to give back the dogs. I grabbed his shirt.

 

He unleashed all hell on my head.

 

First impact. I completely start seeing red, id is furious.

 

Second impact. I see stars.

 

Third impact. "[bleep]ING LET GO OF ME YOU PSYCHOPATH" "GIVE ME BACK MY BABIES"

 

Fourth impact. "CALL THE POLICE HE'S STEALING MY DOGS!"

 

Fifth impact. "DON'T LISTEN TO HIM HE'S A CRAZY SCHIZOPHRENIC PSYCHOPATH"

 

Sixth impact. A woman runs over and screams at the cousin to stop.

 

Seventh impact. "IT'S OK HE WAS TRYING TO KILL THESE DOGS I'M SAVING THEM THEY'RE MY DOGS"

 

Eighth impact. "HE'S A LIAR HE'S SSSSSSSSSSTEALING MY DOGS THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY... Parent's.... dogs....

 

Ninth impact. My glasses fall off.

 

Tenth impact. "Are you done yet [bleep]. Give them back."

 

By this time I manage to get his arms out of the car and pin them against the frame to get him to stop attacking. I'm completely in another world right now and really want to break his arms in so many places but my id is in pieces. Superego takes over and tells me not to, he is mistaken and will see sense after this is over. Martyr comes out. "Let him destroy you if it means he will realise the error of his ways"

 

I reach back in snatching for my dogs.

 

First punch to the jaw. GIVE. THEM. BACK.

 

Second impact to the jaw. GET THE [bleep] OFF OF ME YOU PSYCHOTIC [roosters]UCKING [bleep] PSYCHOPATHIC PEDOPHILE DOG[bleep]ING PIECE OF SHIT [bleep].

 

Third impact. Shove his shoulder, dragging his arm back into the car and leaving a nasty bruise. [bleep] him. I'm concussed badly. But I don't care he's stealing my babies.

 

He bites my upper arm through my nice blue polo.

 

I feel no pain. ONLY ANNOYANCE.

 

He starts backing out. Dragging me along. Me desperately telling the woman to call the police.

 

HE'S A PSYCHOPATHIC ATHEIST DON'T LISTEN TO HIM.

 

I start crying at the betrayal.

 

I lose my grip and he drives off.

 

I dial 911.

 

MY DOGS HAVE BEEN STOLEN

 

address?

 

THEY'VE BEEN STOLEN

 

sir we need your address.

 

2120 ALAMANDA DRIVE NORTH MIAMI FLORIDA 33181 MY NAME IS BRANDON KELLY THE THIEF IS ***************** AND LIVES AT ***********************.

 

what happened

 

HE HURT ME AND STOLE MY DOGS

 

do you need medical attention

 

(Should... SHOULD... we seek.... h-h-h-hh-elp, L-lllll--little l--amb?)

 

(HE HAS OUR FAMILY WOLF)

 

I NEED MY DOGS SAVED.

 

police are en route

 

fire rescue as well to check you out.

 

Long story short. Restraining order. Dogs are safe. I may be permanently brain damaged, I plan on going back to the ER tomorrow after I put in my job app. No insurance currently.

 

I will drop the charges after the trial.

 

He needs to learn that you can't brutalize someone and get off scott free.

 

YOU DO NOT [bleep] WITH US.

This was me explaining what had happened to me once I got back to Florida.

 

This is my life. I cannot trust anyone because I was physically assaulted by my cousin.

 

You are all bullies. Emotional psychological bullies.

 

And the mods are happy to give favors to anyone who PM's them lies.

 

This is why I am leaving. I cannot trust the leadership on this board.

 

I cannot trust anyone. Not even myself.

 

You all have been bullying a paranoid schizophrenic.

 

You are all disgusting human beings.

 

I hope to GOD no one ever suffers like I have here.

 

Goodbye.

Source: My final Farewell.

Hello everyone.

This is my first entry into this websites blogging feature. In all honesty, I've never actually blogged anything. I am primarily doing this for self motivational reasons but if I can help to motivate some of you out there, then that's great too. Okay, ice breaker done, now, I started my account in late 2005, it's now 2015. 10 years and I'm only at a total level of 2289. That's kind of bad, considering my game-time. Very recently, within the last year or so, I have slowly lost motivation to play RuneScape because of various implementations made by Jagex. I don't want to slander the companies name because you and me both know they can do something brilliant from time to time, but, I mean with the majority of skills being made "AFKable", I am pondering whether to carry on as the real sense of achievement is slowly fading. I'm looking for a way to rekindle that determination I had about two years ago, I don't want any motivational speeches in the comments, I just want something where I can post my various achievements and maybe interact with some people as well. Currently, I have not publicly shared my real RSN with the site, but I will see how that changes. I am sorry this is kind of short and all but I'm in the middle of a great film called "Rope". Anyway, farewell people, and I hope to see you soon.

Signing off.

Holy crap it's been almost 6 years since my last entry! Probably more than a year since I last logged in this site too.

I've been talking to Senty recently and I told him I kind of wish I kept up with close friends I've met here and on RS. But over the years...well life happened and now I don't remember who's who haha.

*le sigh*

Yeah I sort of went on a questing binge tonight, oops? |^_^| I'm so glad I finally finished my super long list of unfinished quests! Woo-hoo!

Pokemon rom hacks tend to be a mixed bag. You have gems that could very well hold their own against official releases directly alongside grindfesty bad fanfiction. This one... I have no idea where it will fall.

Naturally, I decided to Nuzlocke it blind, because what could possibly go wrong?

I played about... 30 minutes? of it before taking screenshots, so this will start past the annoying swampy bit at the beginning.

By the way, the first major area was an annoying swampy bit, featuring nothing but poison-types, poison ivy, and a store that sold every healing item except antidotes alongside what can only be described as a level polynomial. That should have been the only warning I needed.

[spoiler=God help me]

The starter! Because there are five potential options available.

The first catch, featuring AUTHENTIC GEN 6 POISON WEAKNESSES

And this thing... Which is also poison-weak. Yaaaay.

The region map. By which I mean Regions. Plural. Johto and... Tunod. Where every city and major area is named after sweets.

Speaking of the annoying swampy area...

The next town is on the other side of it, because apparently people in Tunod are hardcore enought to treck through POISON WASTELANDS for their daily commute.

That poison ivy at the bottom? On one hand, lets you bypass most of the trainers in the area. On the other, it poisons your team, before you can buy antidotes.

Bug catchers are the butt of everyone's jokes, and all of the other ones in this hellhole have had level 5-7 early worms, like always.

...This guy did not.

Intimidate is perhaps the best ability anything could ask for in the earlygame.

But of course, the game would not be satisfied until it had left me broken and buried at the bottom of the swamp.

During this match, I proceeded to:

1: Take an ungodly amount of damage

2: Suicide-Paralyze it

3: Take even more damage

I should mention once again that this is the equivalent of Viridian Forest.

But I won!

...Kind of.

This would be the perfect spot to rebuild had the hacker not put a cut tree in front of the grass.

Alas, time for whatever gym is in here.

Catch in the city's power plant/grinding den, where everything knows thunder wave.

And an ill-fated attempt at grinding!

One abnormally stressful healing trip later

This line made it all worth it.

Crit magnet^tm

This guy is hardcore.

Step 2 of blind, underleveled rebuilding: Talk to everyone and hope they give you free shit.

...Emphasis on that last word.

Back to grinding. Maybe I can Ralts solo or-

oh.

CRIT MAGNET

Aaand we're done here.

I am trying to land 99 Summoning while Enlightenment Aura is up.

I am currently at 9684577xp, level 95. I'm counting crimsons just for simplicity.

96: 478 Iron Titans

97-99: 7931 Pack Yaks

4205 Crimson Charms required with Aura

1179 Crimson Charms banked

3026 Drops required

7 Aura resets left (from today)

433 crimsons per reset

There are a lot of things that I run into about RuneScape that I don't think people are really getting a good handle on - Bonds are probably the biggest example that I can think of... well, they might have been, until an update that just happened (and caused me to put off what was going to be this post) that I don't think people have really had the chance to sink in.

Now, I didn't really use the companion app - I had it bookmarked and occasionally looked at it when I couldn't play the game, but I had no real reason to go to it. However, Jagex added something huge to it, something that is going to definitely make a change not just in me using the app, but in the way that I play the game. It makes perfect sense for them to add the ability to create GE transactions within the app, since it's likely the easiest thing to do on a tablet or phone screen - really, what's so different between, say, that and a spreadsheet or a simple web form? Sure, the interface as of right now is a little on the clunky side, but it's usable, and there's also the possibility that they could actually do something to improve it later on down the line. Whether or not it's as simple as it can be is beside the point, as this signals a change that... I don't know how to make clear how big of a change this is.

The Grand Exchange now exists everywhere in RuneScape. Everywhere.

Think about this. You don't have to go there, even as simple as it is to teleport there with, say, a Ring of Wealth. It's just not something you need to even do anymore. With the caveat that you need to log out of your other session completely, you can access the GE no matter where you are in the game.

However, that's not even the game changer that I'm thinking this is.

Like many people, I use the GE for flipping, which turns out to be a pretty decent source of profit. Now, with this update, I can do it from a smartphone or tablet, which the app is specifically designed and intended for. I don't need to be in the game, at a computer, in Varrock, sitting there at the GE, to make those transactions that serve as my main money making method. It's that great promise of portability that comes with mobile technology, just reaching this one little corner of the internet.

Even stranger? This is taking a great money making method and not requiring you to actually play the game in order to use it. Flipping, and all other GE merchanting methods, have been moved out of the game itself and can be done even more easily than they already could.

I have no idea what happens next - I'm not going to claim to know what effect this is going to have on the game. I don't know enough to have any idea what this is doing. I might start to work things out as it goes, especially as I get more acquainted with the ins and outs of the app, and some of the effects start to show up more clearly, I just want people to start talking about it, as there seemed to be mostly silence here.

Last weekend I went to an anime convention called Anime Central, or ACen for short. Being my first time ever going it was really fun. There were so many cosplay outfits, so many venders, and lot of panels (both good and bad), that I decided for myself I would go back for the full weekend AND cosplay myself. Gonna cost me a lot of money but I enjoyed it that much. So prior to leaving Friday morning I was working hard to get 2 more 99's out the way. Here's the progress from that week.

I had a Greater Demons task so decided I'd do Zamorak God Wars Dungeon. I'm pretty bad at bossing, so it took over the course of 3 days to complete it. But I got many drops for it.

While there I got my 4th 99 in Range!

I also got my first Dark Beast task, and with a dark bow drop (or two) got 92 Slayer.

By Friday I was pushing to get 99 Constitution. Maybe it was because of the number of mobs I had but I was pretty lucky I got an easy task they gave enough exp for me to get it.

So yeah Anime Central.

It was fun. It wasn't as crowded as I expected, nor did it it seem as bad as I thought it would be. I expect a lot of sweaty 40 year old men and annoying people, or at best what E3 looks like. Instead peeps were nice and everyone was willing to take a pictures. There were tons of venders who sold art, toys, cosplay clothing, actual swords, doujins and hentai mangas, and video games on old and new systems. I was thinking about a JoJo Bizarre Adventure Doujin but decided on a print instead.

There was no way I could explain why I have yaoi to my mother.

I went to a few panel discussions that were held. The more popular shows like Attack on Titan and Kill la Kill filled up quicky to my disappointment, meaning if you weren't in line an hour ago, you had to pray you were not the cut off. But some of the panels I got into were really good. There was onw panel ran by a professional writer that talked about different story types and discussed how our favorite mangas/animes did them so well. It was mostly for people who wanted to write, be it professional or fanfictions. My boyfriend was thinking about writing and we had time to kill so we went there. We also went to a Mega Man panel that talked about the games and bosses. In the panel we made our own Mega Man boss and the room voted for the best one for prizes. Well, I didn't. I know nothing about Mega Man and again went with my boyfriend. There were a few 18+ panels, including one run by Funimation, which justifies the rating, especially when you play a game called Name Dem [cabbage]. So many boobies...

Some panels were okay. I went to a RWBY one that was made more for introducing the anime. However, 95% of the people there knew RWBY like the back of their hands so after a short introducing about the show we did some fan speculation discussion and talked about events in the show. It was okay but there were some errors in it. The speaker speculated Ruby and Yang could be cousins when Monty on Twitter confirmed they are not step-sisters or cousins.

That said it was way better than the Pokemon panels, which was a huge unorganized gathering of fanboys/girls.

I took as many pictures as I could, and looking back on them I can tell you is half RWBY/Kill la Kill. They had cosplay photo shoots were everyone who cosplayed as a character from a certain show went to specific location, and with someone in the crowd directing them, did different poses. Some were sloppy, some were organized, and some were borderline professional.

Because of the borderline nudity in some of the cosplay I have uploaded only a few pictures, but the rest will be available in my Photobucket album I will link. Or at least as many as I can upload...

All in all it was great. So much so I wanna go back next years in cosplay! I never expected RWBY to be so popular out of the gate, so I'm gonna do a cosplay from there. It won't be special, just a cosplay of a Grimm, the Ursa Major, but man it will be fun. After I get over the initial hurdle of making my Grimm bear costume.

And ideas on how to do that forum? :D

I went to a basement show last night and had pretty much the most fun I've had in I don't know how long. Stereo Coma headlining (I'm good friends with the singer's brother), with Hoser, Blankbook and Children's Books supporting. Met a lot of really rad people. On the way back to my buddy's apartment we had a ton of Hoser stickers and there was a certain Comcast van that isn't every going to look the same. Then my buddy, driving my car, backed real close to a guy watching us do it, so that I hit him with the door I was trying to climb into. By accident. But my reaction was just to shout PUNK ROCK at him and we sped off. I ended up passing out around 3 or 4am, after smoking far too much. I woke up at 8 with 3 texts. 1 from my buddy who owns the apartment asking if the girl I brought back with us was single (hell if I know I barely remember her being there). And 2 from my other friend that came with us who decided to WALK [bleep]ING HOME. It's like a 30 minute drive from the apartment we were in back to his house, and that's pure high way. His phone's now dead and I have no idea where he is. If he just waited another 3 hours I would have driven him home for christ's sake. It's not even like it's nice out. Then I had to wake my friend who own's the apartment up and ask him where my car was because for all I knew it was still in Center City.

Started the Mosh pit, got hit by chicks, and shook hands with bums. God damn I had fun.
