LineCon 08
Journal Entry: Sun Mar 23, 2008, 2:17 PM
Finally got back from LineCon 08 (Aka Anime Boston). This year they completely botched it, according to them they lost the room they were set up in for registration when the place it was in double booked. A stupid 5 year old beauty pageant for some reason was more important. (This still isn't enough of a reason for the problems)
For those who don't know, the line in the first day had a wait time for some about 10 hours. I was lucky and thought ahead (and wanted to save money) by preregistering. Even then the wait for me was about 3-4 hours, and all my friends were in the regular line. Normally I might be able to go to other stuff while I waited for them, but I had all my luggage with me. One of these friends was the one who had gotten the hotel room.
As my report goes:
Dealers Room: It was moved, but for once the stuff was low priced. There were lots of dealers with DVDs, they knew what the stuff was and were willing to give ideas of whats worth getting instead of whatever the "new hot thing" out was.
Gaming: I stayed away from this, for whatever reason it did not hold the interest It has in the past. One thing noticed was there were a bunch of people playing Army of Two.. but on each game people were playing by themselves. The Live Gaming took up the same room. I had to pass up on the RPGs as nothing really interested me, and when I actually had time to do something.. no one else had signed up. (I need tabletop or good LARP in the Boston area! Help me out here!)
Panels: For the most part.. pretty blah. There were a few great ones though. Bad Anime Bad and Your Favorite Anime Sucks were great.
Main Events: For the most part, these were garbage. Not real funny. But.. One of them was the best. The Pillows! I gotta say, such an epic band. Love and Response opened for them.. but can't say I really liked them. The Pillows put on such a great show, everyone seemed to be loving it, and even came out for an encore when we cheered for it. Not only that, but it was two songs instead of one last one.
Food: Prices has raised, quality has dropped. Luckily there are places not far away one could go for better cheaper stuff.
Cosplay: So many top notch costumes, bravo! Loved the Chell, The Big Damn Heroes, and others.
So yeah. Thats all I have to say on everything at the moment.

Do I look too deeply into things? Maybe it's you that can only see the surface...

Salazar: Talk about nuisances ...
Taniqa: You can talk! Says the one who signs me up for hours of prayer!
Salazar: If you think Jena's a nuisance, a few hours of prayer obviously aren't enough ...

And so hard to chose the favorutie Ratkin type.
I love mybe Shadow Seers the best (but their rapture roll if not good.. that Umbra-see in the normal world is dangerous O.o)
Anyway I love the Plague Lords, and yepp Twitchers is soo great, my first ingame ratkin char was a Twitcher.. okay now he is a bit tainted, because he falls in love with a vampire, and now he makes everything for that vampire.. poooooooor Silentium anway I love him, and he still alive, but he never can back to his family.
Wyrm makes his way strange and weird O.o
But he is still alive! Okay, I only can play with him now with vampires and not Gaia-fighters, but no prob, the main, he is still alive
And I am really happy to see Ratkins here
