Anime Boston: Day 2

IMO if I count the rave from 12:00 AM to 2:00 AM on saturday morning as friday, day 2 was basically the best day. I woke up and cosplayed all day. This is where we got to see the best things. The AMV contest,Anime Unscripted, the game room ( Exhibition C), Dealer's room, and a bit more. I will post later today or tomorrow with links to some of the videos and tell more. I am looking foward to hear how Eric Lee, Paulo, Andre, and Murphy thought it was since they stayed an extra day ( till sunday, when the tourney finals for all the games was). As stated earlier, I started cosplaying alot on day 2 ( Friday, although we technically arrived on wednesday, the true part didn't start till thursday). We traveled a lot, and I played a bit of Halo 3 in the game room ( Exhibition C, floor 2 of the Heinz Convention Center I believe) before entering both the halo 3 singles and doubles tourney. While freeplaying, me and someone playing about 2 seats away from me dominated. I got 1st place for 2 rounds and he got 1st place for 2 rounds ( but he was 2nd when I was first and first when I was 2nd). I walked over and asked if he would be in the doubles as my partner (thought of asking Murphy but wasn't 100% sure of his skills and if he would show up), and he agreed. he also convinced me to sign up for singles, which I did badly on ( only 11 kills :(, for some reason I do better in freeplay than in official matches, and the battle rifles really f**ked me over).

But later me, Earl, Antonia and Adam went to the dealers room, where both me, Earl, and Adam bought some actual kunai ( hurray for non-plastic kunai :) ), which of course came in a small cylinder shaped container. a good 15$ spent on that. Later on, after traveling to the dealers room with TJ ( quite the Death Note Fanboy, even tho its a manga that already ended), I went around by myself ( OMFG BY MYSELF, I HAVE BALLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and scouted a bit.

Eventually I met up with Kevin Hang ( I think, not totally sure) and we found Earl and his little gang. it was around 7:30 more or less. My doubles tourney was from 8:00 pm to 10:00pm, so I was only gonna stay for 30 minutes. we went to the anime unscripted for about the 40 minutes or so that was left of it. and it was absolutely HILARIOUS.

In one part, there was a game show called "change", where one of the contestants is granted the power of change, where he shouts the word change, and the other characters must change whatever they just said.
(one part). * a man is pretending to be a child being escorted by a man*.
child: your a nice guy.
CHANGE!!!!!
child: your an asshole!!!!!!!

(another part).
Girl: THIS IS AN ANIME CONVENTION!
CHANGE!!!!!!
Girl. This... ISSSSSSSSS.. * guy in the audience yells sparta*.... SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

it was absolutely hilarious. and for those who went, didn't the skinny guy look and sound EXACTLY like Tim Wilcox??? holy crap I seriously thought it was him.

Afterwards we went to the food court I think, and went back to the convention center. Having been by myself, I found Joey Mcgown and John Becker in a tiny group, and convinced them to go to the AMV contest screening, when we got there, it was just finishing the first romance nominee, which was about gundam seed or something.

some of the more comedic ones included the whole "I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves" which ended with a RICK ROLL OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!!!!!!!

Another video was an assortment of things featuring different songs and such, and was set up a la Robot Chicken style, with the tv fuzz when jumping between skits. My favorite part of that video was the apocalypse pony's skit which used an actual skit from RObot Chicken with the actual animation of Sailor Moon.

However I also enjoyed Attack of the OTaku, which is now on my PSP :). Of course, the Dead Fantasy videos were after it ended, which by that time it was just around time to meet up at food court, but me and joey were the only ones there that I could see, so I gave him my phone to call doc and let him know we were too busy at the AMV contest. then dead fantasy started. and I heard someone whispering in front about how he made it and stuff. I thought it was BS until at the end ( right before DF2 ended) he said it was going to split off into 5 more parts ( possibly indicated also by the fact that i believe 5 beams of light were there at the end. so possibly 5 different or connected fights). and then he stood up and I was like OMFG. no way I just stood behind this guy the whole time O_O. and then I took his Picture. not the BEST, but its ok. Like Eric Lee ( or paulo, not sure which) suggested, the animemusic videos site is apparently good to find the videos. I think I saved the sheet which had the names of the videos/ who made them somewhere in my backpack, so I'll look later and see if its there somewhere. After hanging out in the lobby for a bit, me, Adam, Lisa, and Earl decided to go to the Race, which had a pretty huge line, but it moved really fast and in huge chunks. along the about 10-15 minute wait, we found a guy in a Jigglypuff costume, who bargained if Lisa "captured him with her master ball" if he could cut in front of us. we agreed of course for the lulz.

When we got inside, there was a significantly big mosh pit on the left side, where a guy was RUssian dancing really really low to the ground (think guys with furry hats sort of like kicking back and forth but pretty straight type). after some people came in and breakdanced, ma man Jigglypuff came in to show these beginners how its done. he came out of nowhere in his fruity costume and, in the nicest way I can put it, TORE THAT SHIT UP... for a good 18 seconds. Then we got bored and Adam starting tearing that shit up ( the dude can dance O_O). We went back to the lobby and saw avory and justin.

Earl and Lisa decided it was about time to go to bed, so me and Avory headed to the rave ( Avory basically has a techno fetish). WE got bored pretty fast ( although both times I went to the rave I danced a bit, much more so than Doc or Murphy as far as I know) but saw like either 9 year olds, or midgets that looked like little kids full fledged making out like 17 year olds while dancing to the techno. Sadly while dancing I did a kick ( don't ask why, but when i get involved with techno I do weird stuff) and kicked a girl really hard and knocked her down, but I tried to play it off by pretending nothing happened. apparently she got carried out on a stretcher because either her leg broke or she was in excessive pain. We saw Sonya in a corner too so yea. Avory is weird.. told me some weird things he would do to her * facepalms*... and yea... after that we went back to our rooms, sonya took a room check, we watched 30 minutes of Harvey Birdman... and went to sleep.
