I'm so tired

I've just got back from the MCM expo which is held in Excel Center London every May and October. And damn I'm tired. It's my own fault I went and joined a group who were doing the Caramel Dance. If you don't the Caramelldansen then have a look at the video below

I think I managed to do it for an hour. Not in one go by the way. I think my arms would have dropped off if I tried that. But not only did we do that we also did a conga all around the event as well. The thing is we didn't just once. We did it so much that I lost count. I'm not just tired either, I think I've lost my voice as well. Again, it's my own fault. I was shouting at the top of my lungs "Come and Join our Conga, You know you really want ta." I don't know why but I'm get really happy when I know I made someone else's day. Just seeing some of the smiles that we got while we where all congo-ing along makes up for the fact that I feel like I might kneel over at any moment.

I know the pic is blurry. But what do you expect? Every one doing the Caramel.

Other things of note for this Month's event, the amount of Cos Play. It's increasing dramatically.
Not that I'm complaining. Just means more photo opportunities for me.
How many times are you going to see the following. Not that many that's for sure.

About time someone sorted out the Rabbids problem that we've been having.
Along with cosplay you also have all the goodies that are avilable to buy as well. I've already started up a nice little collection of Plushies but when I saw this I knew I would never have enough.Someone must of spiled a glass of water or something.
I'm gping bed now. Well I going to go and get ready for bed at least. I'm moving so slowly it'll take me an hour to get to my room.

Koobs Cos Play of the day. Mario

Yeah there are gong to be a few of these over the next couple of days. But I took a lot of photos at the MCM expo. I might do one massive post with all the photos but for now I do one at a time.
































What is up with this guy's chin hair?
If you're going to dress up and do cos-play at least do it right. It's made worst by the fact that it's ginger. No offense to ginger people, I love orange, but Mario has brown hair. Full stop. This guy needs to shape up his cos-playing. For shame.

Sooo, soo tired

Another day, another Expo. This wasn't as good as the one in May (it was still good mind you), but that could be because I went on a Sunday and the weather was crap.
There was a bigger Video Game presence this time around which is very welcomed. I got to play on Street Fighter IV (for free), Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe (not that great), Dead Space (I got a wicked photo from the booth), Prince of Persia (back to the original Sands of Time gameplay)and Naruto: Broken Bond (again very similar to the orginal). Out of all of them I enjoyed Street Fighter the most. I'm crap at Beat 'em Ups, but I wanted to actually practice on this one.
I opted for a disposable camera this time around instead of using my Phone. It took to long for my Phone to take photos and I started feeling bad making people hold a pose for so long. I'm also hoping that more of the photos come out ok this time around.
I'm going to get the photos devoloped tomorrow so I'll scan them onto my computer and post the best ones on Tuesday (remember tomorrow is Musical Mondays now).
Sorry for the poor contents of the last posts. It just like the title of this post says, I'm "Sooo, so tired".

A Dead Space Special

Well here you have my Dead Space tribute.








































Oh how I'm just playing with you.


What I have seen of Dead Space looks wicked. Like "Crap your pant followed quickly by wetting yourself just before you make a squeak which was meant to be a top of your lungs scream" wicked. I don't think I've seen something as gory and bloody. I've watched a lot of movies and play a load of games. I think what makes it scarier is the fact that it's not just random gore. It's strategically place to freak you out.
Another thing that adds to the suspense and horror of the game is that there is no pause menu. "What's that no pause? But how do I know where to go or what I have on me? What about my bladder? Surly it would burst?" Fear not. The pause function is still there so those much needed toilet breaks are still possible. But that's all it will do. If you want to reload or change your weapons you have to do in in-game. Even if you are facing a load of beasties. If you need to know where to go you can look at the holographic maps that placed around or drop a laser pointer that will guide you to the next point. There are also meters on Isaac Clarke's (wonder if they named him after someone) back, that tell you also how much health he has and when you're in a vacuum (somewhere with no air, not the thing used to suck up dirt from the carpet) it will tell you how much oxygen he has left.
As a bonus for me, this game will also be at the MCM Expo. It just getting better and better. All they need now if to give me a load of free things and I think the MCM will be the best thing ever.
I very much looking forward to this game while at the same time I'm not. I want to play it just not by myself. I think I'll have to invite a couple of friends around. And let them play while I watch. Yeah I think that's what I'll do.

More MCM goodness

So what else is going to be at the MCM Expo this October? Is anyone excited at all about it?
Would this make you more excited by any chance?

Yep that's right. Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe is going to be at the MCM expo. The only worrying thing is that there is no mention if it will be playable. Which would be a crying shame if it wasn't. Another thing is I still think even if you can play it, it will be eclipsed by SFIV.
I'm not going to do a big post today as I'm tired and will just end up rambling. But I'm still keeping up with my post a day. Damn I'm so proud of myself =0)

A little more about MCM

As you guys should know from the previous post, I'm going to the MCM expo this october. I need to book tickets. But that's kind of difficult saying that Abbey are still screwing me over with my card (those bankers be pure wankers).
Any way I'm not going to let that ruin my day.
Now what I would love to do is write down everything that is going to be at the expo. But then again if I do that I want have anything else to write about. So I'm going to a little bit at a time.
So what little gem am I going to reveal today. I think the big thing I looking forward to be this:


And it's not just videos. They are actually going to be full Arcade Machine there.
Now I love arcades. I use to (and still do) save up all my coinage to just go down to the arcade to play the machines. I don't know if they will charging for each play, but I'm sure as hell hope not.
Then again what I want and what happens rarely happens.
I don't know why I so looking forward to SFIV. I'm not a big Beat 'em Up fan. But there is some-thing about this one that just draws me in. I guess SF always has been part of my Video Game up bringing and maybe that is why. What ever the reason, it's going to be Rad.
Oh I can't wait.
