GENCON AUSTRALIA 2009 - the AFTERMATH.

Fri Sep 25, 2009, 2:34 AM
  • Mood: Pirate
  • Listening to: Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly
  • Reading: Hellsing - Volume 8
  • Watching: Hellsing OVA 4
  • Playing: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
  • Eating: McDonald's... wtf why am I eating THIS!?
  • Drinking: A lovely cup o' tea~
*flails like she's on crack*

Okayokayokay... I'm not on crack. BUT I'm totally stoked nonetheless. I know this journal entry's so late, but things had to be taken care of.

Like my Steampunk/Victorian/EGL outfit. It falls into all 3 categories for some reason. PICTURES WILL BE UP OF BOTH MY OUTFITS. SOMETIME.

Well, it was a bit wierd, but there were two cons in Brisbane over the past fortnight. The other one that was going at the same time(Animania) was apparently CRAP, so... All the anime cosplayers left for Animania. Then found out how BAD Animania was compared to GenCon. Then they all came BACK, even though GenCon is a GAMING convention. They always come back. :lol: I feel strangely proud... Don't ask me why.

But anyway, anyway... I got to spend the weekend with the lovely Gabbies, and the amazingly AWESOME Mog. It was great to catch up with them, and I THINK the next time I see Gabbies will be... Christmas. At least. So naturally we caused as much chaos as possible with the two-three days we had. The chaos stopped just short of releasing flaming hamsters into the inflatable laser-tag area, however.

Pictures were taken, pictures were taken of us, things were bought (all 8 volumes of Hellsing... wtf), and WAY too much money was spent. It was GLORIOUS. We had a brilliant time, and I can't wait until next year. Maybe next year, I can watch the national TF2 LAN tournament properly as well. I'll try and find the link to the video where the winners were interviewed... mainly because the team captain mentioned Spycrabs... which began a Spycrab procession right in front of the camera.

I WISH I had a cigarette case on me at the time. :XD:

Speaking of tournaments, I bet my WM peeps are wondering how I did in the Steamroller comp. In short? BADLY. Only 2 VP in the entire tournament. But y'know... that's totally cool. I had fun. One of us fielded the first ever Retribution army in the 500 pt tournament, and it was... AUGH I HATE THE RETRIBUTION OF SCYRAH NOW AUUUUUGH.
...
AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH! A FEAT THAT GIVES STEALTH TO THE ENTIRE ARMY WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!?

And yeah. I got totally thrashed. But I lost gracefully. So gracefully, in fact, that I managed to snag the 'Best Sportsman' award for this year. The eEiryss mini I got will really help me out, and the little trophy I got (omg it's so cute!) is sitting up on top of the TV next to some trophies I got in high school. :lmao: But if any of you Aussie guys from the tournament are reading this, thanks for the votes! It was great of you to do that for me! :heart:

Well anyway, that's it for a while. I tire~. My fingers are running out of fuel, which means coffee.

So! Gotta love and leave you! Stay fabulous! :heart: :wave:
