/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>2013
>Still going to MCM
>I seriously hope you guys do this

>>6860711
The Seagull Meet will certainly happen (unless a crazy nutter decides to kill and dismember a "very certain someone"). The other meet can't really be guaranteed since it's new, but I will be turning up for that one for certain.

yo eva sucks
real talk

MCM Day 1: http://zeropan.com/2523/mcm-expo-2013-may-day-1-booths-goodies.html

The Tofu Cute stall... HNNNNGH!

DAWN OF THE SECOND DAY

Now the expo really begins

This room.

Getting into costume now. See you nerds out there.

Yesterday was shit. If today doesn't pick up I'm done with mcm. Seems in the 2 year absense the place has become over run by fatties and autists.

>>6861721
fuck youuuuuu

>>6861726
Know this feel

To the person who found a blackberry and texted my friend that it was at lost and found.
Which lost and found? It doesn't seem to be in any of the lost and founds in the building.

>>6861765
Call it. See if anyone at the lost and found answers. Alternatively lost and found may be slang for his back pocket.

>>6861767
I've tried, it's on silent unfortunatly.
Whoever has it, you can keep it if you hand in the sim card to lost and found please. I've got a lot of importent numbers on it.

>>6861765
>>6861776
Why would that random person be on /cgl/ ...lolololol

>>6861726
I got that feel yesterday too and fortunately today is better, but so packed though.

>>6861865
Gandalf brightened up my day

>>6861874
So did that guy who fisted the giant Pikachu's mouth.

>>6861874
the gandalf with the puppet? guy was sound

Anyone seen that black guy who dresses as shadow the hegehog?

>>6861931
Yes, it was only mentioned a few times on the previous thread which will soon expire. I haven't seen him today yet though.

>>6861726
MCM has always been shit. Only decent "expo" in London is probably Eurogamer expo.

>>6861946
Eurogamer is just a reason to walk around and get free shit. Mcm is more sociable.

>>6862046
How is the social side of things thus far?

>>6862066
Aye pretty good today, plenty of munters but a few decent folk. Last night was shite here's hoping it picks up.

>>6862066
No rapes.

Yet.

>Capcha: incorporated trytopme
>mfw capcha wants to be raped

>>6862080
The only ones with the bollocks to try anythimg are the autists. And thats usually after too much alchohol. 99% of the people here are just socially awkward betas who couldn't get a fatty into bed if she set up a ramp covered in oil.

>>6861808
Because random cosplayers go on /cgl/, that's kinda the point of it....

>>6862080
>>6862084
Thanks for the update. I will be sure to change this. :D

>>6862078
I will do what I can to make it interesting given that everyone isn't boring fucks who deserve no fucks at all.

>>6862080
The rape train is on its way!

I was there 1 day and I'm fucking exhausted... That queue was not fun.

Especially bad because I'm pretty sure I was stuck behind that hedgehog guy you guys were bitching about in the other thread. He was one of the "free hugs" people that scream loneliness, and if a girl hugs them there's a brief moment where you can see them smelling her hair.

>>6862105
Was he in a shitty Shadow The Hedgehog cosplay? That is what I saw him in yesterday.

>>6862109

No, he was just wearing a shitty sonic mask/head-dress thing and a "free hugs" t-shirt.

>>6862109
I saw that guy too.

First time at MCM expo yesterday, never been before....it was fucking shit. Super shit. All the shit they peddle there is too expensive for it's own good and every single fucker there looks like they're on an outing from their mental hospital/behavioural correction facility.

You either get the 'try to be outgoing/confident/ social types' who actually end up coming across as fucking spastic lunatics. (mainly girls)

Or those socially awkward ones who look like they're having a shit when they're talking to you, mingled with nervous laughter. Urgh. (mainly guys)

I've never seen such a collection of freaks in my life.

>>6862105
>>6862109
>>6862125
>>6862127

I don't visit this board much, but this sounds hilarious.

>>6862127
Oh god dude, it's my first time going to MCM Expo tomorrow as well. I hope it isn't as bad as you say.

Who's at the statue already?

>>6862180
MCM Convention Center. You will never find a more wretched hive of retards and faggotory. We must be cautious."

>>6862130
Please folks, do share more!

>>6862180
Where the fucks the sign?

>>6862180
>>6862180
Me and my friend should be there in about 15mins look for a lightning and a guy in a maid outfit.

>>6862191
That's gay man. Crossplay is just gay.

>>6862188
There is no sign. Look out for this prop.

Are people still around? Just picking up some drinks

>>6862200
Yup

>>6862200
>>6862204
#YOLO
#SWAG
#KONY 2012
#SOULJABOY
#FATGIRLS
#VIRGINS

>>6862204
Lot of people by the statue, any signs?

>>6862209
see the picture posted before

>>6862192
lol clothing doesn't make you gay. Being a guy and wanting to put a dick in your mouth does though.

Well I'm as lost as a Welshman in a brothel

>>6862219
>Being a guy and wanting to put a dick in your mouth does though.
Nah that just means you like dick

Ain't nothin gay about sucking dick

>>6862219
Hmm okay that was wrong of me to assert. A tad too fruity for my taste though.

Im going to the atm there.
Ill check if the group of people there arent to full autism and decide if i should turn arround or not.

>>6862149
>>6862272
Turn around

>>6862287
Probably will. Almost there anyway after getting cash.

>>6862324
I'll consider it, I want to see it with my own eyes. I'm going with people I consider relatively normal (only one is a raging weeb faggot) so I should be alright, although my tolerance for faggotory is at a record low.

Hopefully I'll meet some alright people and avoid the free hugs offered from the lonely weirdos.

>>6862333
You sound rather normal. You there yet? I only see screaming faggots.

>>6862342
I'm going tomorrow, I was told it should be quieter on the last day.

My "relatively normal" friends talked me into dressing up because I said I was going. I won't be in costume for the majority of my time there but I will be carrying a very large red sombrero. Otherwise I will the cool dude in the green t-shirt and shorts.

The rape rave 2k13 was a ruse.

This cake is delicious

You must eat it!

>>6862353
I turned up and it didn't happen for me either. Do you want to meet up?

I use to not mind the queue. Receiving a ticket and knowing you could go now was very satisfying. BUT NOW THERE IS A FUCKING QUEUE TO EXIT. WTF?

What are the vendors like this year?
I'm considering popping down tomorrow for discounted merch but I'd be interested to know if anywhere was selling any rare/OoP manga - particularly those published by the now defunct CMX

Okay, new post here about the FAIL-Rave 2k13. The whole waiting at a ticket machine for a meet where there would be hundreds of people going to be at as they are going home isn't funny.

For those who will still be around tomorrow I propose we meet at the Ship Bar at 2pm. The Ship Bar is at the end of the Docks which is close to where the Cable Car and odd glass building is at. Those who turn up can work out what we will do from there.

>>6862413
I don't understand what's with all these meetups? Do you desperately want to meet people from /cgl/ that badly? I'm sure if you hang around the con you'll meet better people and can go have fun with them.

/cgl/ is full of bratty little cunts who think they're the shit, ragging on everyone else when they're just as fucking bad or worse.

>>6862377
Its full of casual shit.
Hard to find anything for anyone that has seen more than 20 animes.

>>6862413
Thats on the right side outside the front entrance right?

>>6862424
But bro, the orgies man TEH ORGIES!

>>6862445
Im intrested in the meet but im not touching STD ridden congoers

>>6862424
I was hoping to meet some new people on here as the Seagull meet has the same annoying people who like you say "think they're the shit, ragging on everyone else when they're just as fucking bad or worse". It feels a little to awkward to approach random people who may not be prepared or even plan on having parties.

>>6862445
Not likely, but you can always be hopeful. :D

>>6862447
No. From the stairs/entrance you have to walk down some distance past all the hotels along the road, walk past the Cable Car, take a right and pass the odd glass building and eat the end of the path should be a large boat which happens to be a Bar too.

If you are familiar with the water skiing place it is the boat docked up close to there.

>>6862438
Damn, I assumed as much - guess I'll get some work done instead
Judging by >>6861625 the stalls look even more lacklustre than usual, seems to just be overpriced bootlegs and taobao plushies

Once again MCM expo proved that I would bone nearly anything in a slightly revealing cosplay. Though since when did London women all grow massive tits?

Why don't they just set up a one night stand meetup and in the straight group let the males fight it out until theres 1 male for each female? It would be glorious.

>>6862499
The best stuff was the food and even that was over priced considering I can make better stuff myself.

>>6862507
Sounds more like fantasy unfortunately...

so then I know I wasn't the only one keeping score...
How many hugs did you get?

>>6862512
>>6862507
Enjoy your STDs. I did notice all the tits hanging out.

>>6862523
Can't say I can enjoy any STDs if it is fantasy and besides I wouldn't bareback a slut as I do know what condoms are for.

>>6862368
How about no.

>>6862552
I already knew that with the delayed response.

>>6862533
>>6862523
Do people actually go to these conventions to hookup? Seems kinda sleazy but I guess the cosplay angle can make it hot for some people.

>>6862567
It isn't exactly easy to go on dating website and set the search specifications to "cosplay females only". My purpose for going to the meet is also to make friends and I'm hoping to get some Left 4 Dead 2 team mates. :)

>>6862577
Ah, I'm >>6862350. No idea what I am in for other than what people have said, I plan to really try to have a good time and hopefully meet some cool people. I know my group of about 11 is planning to have a picnic somewhere nearby.

I had a look at the pictures of the convention floor and it seems alright, if I do plan to buy anything it will probably be a blue Totoro t-shirt, I have wanted one of those for ages.

>>6862567
Yes, if im in cosplay, I tend to get much more into the scene, stay the whole weekend, one nighters are easy at those hotels.

Then again when im not in cosplay, I don't go looking for it as its kinda weird, so I tend to just be creepin. I decided I wasn't going to go to a meet today, as people watching can be fun, but I might do a meetup at Eurogamer or October MCM.

>>6862594
It that today or tomorrow with this picnic? I would like to know if I can get in on that if possible.

>>6862596
I'm just trying to get an idea behind it, never been to a con so I am curious about the stuff that goes on and the behind the scene stuff. I apologize for the 3rd degree.

So you're in cosplay, into it and you are in the mood for a good porking who would you go for? Jazz it up with others in costume or is it less discriminative and you would happily settle for anyone you are attracted to whether they be in costume or not?

>>6862616
Ill give some protips;
Avoid pony cancer
Avoid homestuck shit
Avoid big3
Avoid furry shit
Avoid SAO
Im at the premiere inn and when they are in the lobby man. The shit that comes from theyre mouth is cringeworthy as fuck

You are welcome.

>>6862616
>in the mood for a good porking
Oh lol. Alright, I'll indulge you even though im not sure wether you're taking the piss or not at this point. Minor wall of text incoming.

If I know I'm going to cosplay, I tend to put myself forward for all the meetups, photo ops, book the hotel way in advance for the whole, and just be as social as possible during the day and in the evening. The drinks start flowing later on, naturally, and if you make your intentions open and honestly clear early on, you can meet someone else who's just up for some fun.

Female cosplayers tend to not like getting their costumes messed with, which is fair enough, but that said the 2 times I've done this the costume has only really been the foreplay anyway and has soon enough landed on the hotel room floor with everything else.

>>6862641
I should also add that this anon >>6862638 is totally right.

>>6862638
I know I should avoid bronies, homefucks and furries but what is big3 and SAO?

I know one of the weirder ones of my group of 11 is dressing as a homestuck character and he will probably fit right in.

>>6862638
What exactly is Big3?

>>6862666
Big3
Naruto
Bleach
One piece

Sword art online

>>6862641
But arent congirls meant to be batshit?

Yet again I fail to see how the fuck you can have sex with anyone in that place. I couldn't find one person that looked like they washed their balls on a daily basis.

Or do you just fuck any old creep that's cosplaying as your 'husbando'.

You must be pretty desperate if you're trawling in that hot mess just to fuck someone.

>>6862760
heh, many of us are that badly screwed socially, contrary to popular belief.

>>6862125
I saw him right next to me today. I couldn't help but laugh. I've seen photos of him online countless times but never seen him in person. That guy is creeeeepy!

>>6862792
I need pics man.

Fuck that, I done my knee in from this day alone. Maybe next year I'll finally meet you guys. you accept newfriends right?

Suck that there was no tekken booth at the con today, mostly it was street fighter faggots around. So disappointed.

>pic related, mfw I asked one of the namco worker

>>6862105
>>6861931
DAMN SON! I THINK I SAW THAT GUY!

Anybody fancy a mid-day meet tomorrow? Just to kick back or whatever.

>>6862641
>if you make your intentions open and honestly clear early on
I can't imagine doing this without looking creepy as fuck.
"I came here to fuck bitches"

I didn't go today because friends copped out, still want to go tomorrow but don't want to be there alone, anyone want to meet up?

>>6862880
I suggested something with my previous post (>>6862413), do you have a better idea?

>>6862933
The next post below yours should be relevant. You can go if you want and meet at 2pm or perhaps a different proposed time.

>>6862934
That sounds good to me.

So you know that kid who was swinging around the statue around 7-ish tonight?

There's a reason why it says 'do not climb,

So Eva had a hissy fit and fucked off I guess? Saw her walking into her hotel with that twig she calls a bf

>>6862966
I'm not sure if I should feel bad about missing the dramu or if I made the right choice by going back to my cozy hotel. I'm guessing the latter.

>>6862960
LMFAO!!! AHAHAAHAHHAHA!!! I saw the idiot myself. Surprised to see they actually got hurt.

>>6862966
Really? Did that really happen? Interesting. I was expecting a few people to get pissed off, bottle it all in and rage about it on Sunday or Monday on this thread.

>>6862966
Any details on the dramu?

>>6862966
I kinda wished I turned up just to see the drama unfold.

But then I saw this pic >>6862180 and remembered that I hate the expo. Too many smelly/hyperactive teens. No offence to the golliwogs who enjoy it.

>>6862985
Dunno what happened but her and stick insect just walked in in a huff

>>6863031
The tongues of the Seagull Meet shall wag with news soon enough of what made Eva and her BF leave in a huff. From how it sounds it looks like they both have Jupiter's cock in their arse. :D

>>6863044
Who is this Eva girl and her twiggy boyfriend?

>>6863044
Wasn't it just that big C found us too aspire and Eva followed him like the faithful hound

Odd, I expected my posted to have been stomped into the ground by now, I approve of this mostly decent discussion of con sex.

>>6862751
Sure, many are batshit insane, but theres also a good chunk of decent sociable friendly types just like you and me out there. This guy has it right. >>6862770 Its just a matter of finding someone with a similar amount of 'fucked up' to yourself. Its quite hard to put what I mean into words so I hope that gets the idea across.

>>6862760
Heh, well its no secret the girls have the short end of the stick in comparison to us guys in regards eye candy at events like these. I would apologise on behalf of my gender but it makes it easier for me to look good when im standing next to them. Also I don't like standing next to them. They smell.

>>6862890
Well I don't say it like that! You do have to be very social (or even better, drunk) before this even becomes a thing you can bring up. My point was I don't try to make it look like im looking for a relationship. Just some fun, and sex is part of a list of things I find fun. Some single girls also feel the same. So why not have fun together?

>>6863061
If you were on the previous threads you would know about it all such as how she has been annoying to many anons (especially with the pegging), trying to dictate the Seagull Meet coming up to the expo (hence her opinion is so "important") and threating people with her boyfriend (last I checked I think she said if Liam turned up her boyfriend will put him down as "there is nothing he likes than putting a black person down").

>>6863081
You seem like a cool dude, will you be attending tomorrow? I don't smell and I am socially well adjusted.

>>6863097
Fuck, what a bitch.

If her boyfriend is such a dyel twiggy dude what is the point of the threats?

>>6863081
Cool post. I think most of what people have been getting at with con sex is fantasy, but there is actually some logic to your post.

If you attend tomorrow with the intention of going to another meet this might help (>>6862413). Since I'm doing it I will call it REVIVAL-RAVE 2k13 since todays one failed (and was likely the result of trolling entering the real world from this thread). If this helps then that's good I guess...

>>6863104
He tried dictating today's meet but no one listened so he walked off in a huff. Personally I preferred Gregg

>>6862105
The queue sucked. Was in it for 2 and a half hours. The cheers made me laugh though.

>>6863095
Afraid not, I only went for the Saturday this time as I'm busy tomorrow. However we can be fresh together in October, I'm sure ill be around here somewhere in the con buildup.

>>6863104
Met the lot of them today. Bunch of stuck up cunts and sluts. Got their incestuous little click. Shared no mpre than a few words with eva and immediately knew she was a cunt. Very snappy little girl.

>>6863104
It was all her. I don't think he posted anything or didn't identify himself during the threads before to my knowledge.

>>6863114
Thanks for the update. By any chance is Gregg's surname start with D and is 6 letters long? I might know him from elsewhere if that is the case.

>>6863126
Now I wished I went. ;-;
Still there is tomorrow if anyone is up for the meet.

>>6863081
>Well I don't say it like that! You do have to be very social (or even better, drunk) before this even becomes a thing you can bring up. My point was I don't try to make it look like im looking for a relationship. Just some fun, and sex is part of a list of things I find fun. Some single girls also feel the same. So why not have fun together?

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm a very sociable person, but I am useless with women. Really, it'd just be nice to have a girlfriend who's into cosplay, but as someone mentioned earlier, it's kind of a halfway point between being too niche to tap into a dating website, but has the requirement of not being an unwashed, sputtering aspie.

Is anyone around ibis atm fancy a smoke and a chat? Mrs has crashed lol

>>6863113
See >>6863129 , but good luck with the meetup. I do think I should add con sex definitely isn't for everyone. Be social and have fun first, any possible sex is a bonus.

>>6863134
You do not want to pick up a gf at expo, some girls are hot as fuck but mentally unstable and weird. Got with a girl last night who managed to track me down today and follow me around saying she loved me

I came and stood in the distance

;_;

>>6863142
Exactly, hence the eternal dilemma. Still, as >>6863139 wisely said, you can't pathetically seek out this kind of thing. Fun is the name of the game, romance follows usually if you're not looking for it.

>>6863139
I saw that post and wasn't quite sure what to reply with, but I understand and thanks. In my case I simply want a new experience as the other ones I've had have become stale for me.

>>6863142
Sounds like fun from where I'm looking at this. The most important rule in dicking any girl is be prepared to accept the consequences of such actions, even if the consequences aren't clear at all.

>>6863146
I know that feel. I did the same at the Seagull Meet, although I wasn't going to that one though which would appear to be a most unfortunate error of mine.

what the fuck was that meetup?

>>6863166
I thought it was fun, ended too early

People are pumping out replies to me faster then I can type, arg

>>6863134
Oh yeah you're right, which is why I've only really talked about one night stands. I mean if you're talking about a one nighter, you just want a girl that a) is sociable enough and b) makes you pop a raging boner in her cosplay. But if you're after relationshit, you need more then that, you would want your gf and you to cosplay things from your relevant interests together maybe, be it games, film, anime or what. Thing is, you're right, it is a bit niche for a dating website.

>>6863142
Sounds like fun. Maybe she was staying in character?

>>6863173
who were you?

>>6863146
I wish I stood with you

I think I've had enough of cons and expos...

So after 30 or so minutes walking around that statue looking for a /cgl/ or Seagulls sign I finally confirm the /cgl/ group by Eva's shoes.

As for the meet, there was no real structure of sort. People wondering what was going down, but nothing much did. Not pointing fingers, that's just how it was.

I was perfect happy chilling with the few dudes from the Skype chat and the other three dudes that came over. Not sure what happened to the other two groups but I had a pretty decent time in the group I was in, hope to see those guys again in future.

Just a shame there wasn't much of a sense of community.

Well that was a very average mcm. Flew in, met up with my slavbors, got mah drugs, wondered around, bought an incredibly cute stupid fox keyring. I really have to cosplay next time.

>>6863322
It's gotten too big to handle. We had people there that didn't even know what /cgl/ was, they said they were 'told to go there and shout seagulls'.

We should really stop it. Or at least size it down a lot.

>>6863351
It was barely 20 people though, is that even big?

Just got home from the mcm meet.

It was boring with the vapid main group. You had the elite little tripfag circlejerk and then the anons on the outside. Eventually the anons split off and did their own thing (which looked like way more fun) as the tripfag lot were basically the colour grey personified.

Anyone who is considering going to one of these: DON'T. There's a reason alternatives were offered. Go to an anon one, not the shitty tripfag one.

>>6863361
Managing 20 people you don't even know and trying to cram them into a bar/bedroom isn't going to work.

Same goes for the expo itself. They need to start putting attendance caps on the event itself, or find a bigger venue.

Couldn't go, had to work. Anyone know the results of the cosplay comp yet? Who is the Eurocosplayer winner?

Pics would be great.

>>6863322
yeah, after we split off it was actually okay. that swedish guy was wicked.

DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY

>>6863322
Was the group that shouting pile of shit with the free hugs guy?

Cause then im happy i turned arround.

A meet with normals would be nice to pass the time before i hop on my plane.

>>6863971
No, that wasn't them

Maybe it is easier to meet up at the backside of the excel as its less busy.
Afterwards we can go to one of the pubs on the venue

I think this was my 8th MCM London Expo since first going in 2009, I always forget the May event can get stupidly packed early in the day. I spent about £150 on anime DVDs, Blu-rays, some merch and more doujinshi. Also bought a signed graphic novel from Rob Van Dam, though none of you will give a fuck about that.

I didn't get a chance to take any photos of cosplay as I only had the morning there. I remember seeing two MLP suiters outside about midday as I was leaving along with a Dark Souls knight and the usual well done shonen characters.

>>6863982
Should we meet next time on Seagull Lane behind Fox's? It's a fitting meeting place.

>>6863930
lol the meet was shit til we split off. sweden da bes.

ive woken up with a fucking flu or something so im not gonna come up today which is a waste of this weekend pass ffs. shame really i was actually looking forward to a day for once. ;_;

Had a lot of fun with my group. Lots of drinks, fun chat and discussions of other shit. Sat drinking for 4 hours.

Anon meet best meet.

there was more than one meet?

My roommate is really boring and slow so I thought it'd be more fun if I got together with an old friend the second day and it was kind of a disaster. We wandered around for an hour not doing anything or looking at anything because he didn't plan at all and was trying to find something specific, then he dragged me to meet his other friends who were all obnoxious spergs. Everyone knows and loves him and I didn't know any of them so I felt really left out. Eventually me and my roommate just ditched them. It was uncomfortable and shitty. It kinda feels like it was my own fault too for not trying harder to get to know his friends but they didn't seem interested in me and I don't really wanna be friends with them the way they were acting..

>>6864013
Seagull Lane sounds perfect.

Maybe from now on there should be a trip meet and an anon meet from the sound of it. It could solve a few problems?

>>6864037
That sorta happened after a bunch of us broke off and went to one trip's room, but I agree (or at least hang out at the bar and get to know everyone first, somewhere not as packed as Fox)

>>6864013
Ill be there as well. What time should we be there?
Ill be the tall skinny guy in normal clothes and spiky hair.

>>6862413
Are you still going? If other people head there I might join you.

>>6864051
I was talking about for October, sorry. I'm pretty busy all day.

>>6864057
Do you know where it is? Im not that guy but we could meet up and walk there as im unfamiliar here.

>>6864074
I know where the cable cars are roughly, but I'll mostly be wandering aimlessly.

>>6864057
Yes.
>>6864074
Here is a crap map which should help.

Okay here are the details everyone:
Meet: Revival-Rave 2k13
Time: 2PM
Location: Ship Bar
What we will do? First thing we could do is hit the bar we're meeting at and then decide things from there.

And to add I will be at the Bar at 2pm with a sign, but if I don't have it I will be dressed in black (black shirt, jeans and trainers) and might have a red Cex bag with me. Also you might come across me in the venue in around 30 mins or an hours time as I'm going to check it out one last time.

>>6864119
Ok will be there at 2pm. Thanks for the map it helps out.
Also around that time ill keep an eye out on the thread

>>6864125
The time shouldn't change and I think it might be best to hang around there for at least 30 mins so most people get there.

>>6864119
I want to meet you guys, but I have social anxiety and will be super awkward....

>>6864132
Go and be there, you can be Liam for all I know and you're still welcomed. It's for anyone on /cgl or is somehow aware of this meet (hence psychic powers and shit).

I saw Liam outside. Seems pretty chill to me.

>>6864137
I have no probs with him either. It was that many trips were taking the piss out of him. The trips fags even set a insult blinge image of him on their FB group page.

>>6864132
If you mention this it makes it easier for me to take it into account and make you feel at ease. I used to be bad socialy. Takes some time but you will get over it mate. See you st 2pm

>>6864134
Can I show up with a fake ID and pretend I'm 18?

>>6864144
I have no idea what the ages are.
Im 26 atleast

>>6864154
Hey I was joking I'm not even going.
It would be funny though, I can pass for a 20 y/o.

Wish I could be at the pub with you guys. Have fun!

That chacha slide was fun if any of you were in it.

Sweden was a fucking boss.

Is anybody else in cosplay going to the pub? I'd head over by myself if it wasn't London and my cosplay didn't stand out so much.

You guys mind if a non copsplaying 17 yearold joins?

>>6864189
>>6864190
Anyone is welcome, im heading there now from the excel.

>>6864196
Wait for Magikarp?

>>6864200
Please respond.

>>6864212
fag

>>6864215
Whatever gets you going dude.

Im infront of the olivr if thats the place

>>6862638
Why SAO?

I love how Eva was bitching that the meet was shit, she ended up walking off when no one wanted to pay attention to her.

We ended up drinking on the steps and at the fox courtesey of Gregg for a few hours before splitting off. Tom and Dead pool needed to fuck off though

>>6864245
Good fucking God I honestly thought people were bitching about her over nothing.

Hmph. Then is it true about her boyfriend? That he's basically her attack dog.

>>6864247
He seemed a bit of a pussy honestly. Acted like a tough /fit/ guy in that chat.

Nice that Eva acknowledged the meet was shit though.

>>6864248
I don't get it the most ugly and boring goths are in charge of the meets(???). The other people (Ophelia etc.) were all meh too. The dudes were all unattractice apart from about 3 (Hentai00, harrington guy and Wezley).

Why are they ''popular''?

>>6864252
It was Hentai00's first meet and his main board is /fa/. Not really part of their circle.

I don't get why you're making this distinction though. Eva looked pretty good to me for example.

>>6864253
Because they judged others on how they looked repeatedly. Liam, people sitting near their initial meeting spot.

They're all around 4-5/10 and I don't understand the elitism that they seem to have self righteously imposed on themselves.

If they were from other boards then I think I'd rather meet the other boards there. The cgl group were just childish and boring.

>>6864273
I had the impression that he was some kind of muscle bound dude. That's as far as my implication goes. You called him a boring ugly goth.

>>6864276
...What?

>>6864281
I read "you" instead of "they".

Nevermind.

Friday: Shit
Saturday: Ultra shit
Sunday: Fucking fantastic

Got some good doujins too

>>6864318
Was Tokyobookstore there? I know other tables do doujin but I didn't spot them yesterday.

>>6864319
Not sure, I just went to the yaoiguy like last time.

Anyone get laid?

>>6864396
yeah

>>6864397
who were they cosplaying?

>>6864396
I probably could have, but I'm no good at "sealing the deal", as it were.

Does anyone have pics of that one incredibly tall (thanks to heels) Selina Kyle (aka tdkr catwoman)? I tried getting pics but then I spaghettied all over the place and chickened out.

So... all in all... not a very good experience?

>>6864468
Just for some. I had met up with a dude from cgl. He even was so kind to five a shorrcut to thw airport. He was normal so we had some good talk.

>>6864468
To be honest no, everyone seemed far too Aspie. Eva and her twig tried to take control then threw tantrums when no one paid attention. Even when we hit the first pub they had sticks rammed so far up their arises they had to fuck off to remove them. The rest were all right but when the aspire brigade joined us it became shit near the river

>>6864497
Tripfags bro. Next time an anon meet

I dont even understand why these kids cosplaying think they are so special

>>6864497
Isn't everyone that goes to MCM an aspie though?

I mean, even within our breakoff "anon" meet there was some. The tripfags just seemed on another level though. They weren't even talking to each other.

>>6864497
I would love to get her side of the story.

>>6864538
Who was aspie in anon meet?

>>6864545
>implying she wouldnt crive for attention.
Her word against several anons

>>6864403
none of your business

>>6864568
So how was the fuck on a scale to 10?

>>6864568
Why mention it then, buddy?

>>6864554
Me for one.

>>6864580
Coz he aint got no bros to tell he just lost his virginity.

>>6864468
I enjoyed it. I hung around people outside of /cgl/ though (to my knowledge) and met some pretty cool people. I think the seagull drama would've dampened my experience.

I fucking love you girls.

Slept with two girls this weekend.

I never thought it would happen but fuck. Cosplayers are sluts.

>>6864599
What where u cosplaying as mate?

There are so man personality disorders flying around in that place.
It was fun watching the drama unfold.
I didn't attend either meet but I got a good view from the periphery.

>>6864599
Is this for real?
And I've only ever seen one cosplayer who I was genuinely attracted to without myself forcing to think that way. Are people this desperate?

>>6864607
A rapist.

>>6864538
Think this is the case for any nerd con.

>>6864599
i bet one was piratetoaster or something

>>6864599
details plox.

if the dude who played dark souls from the anon meet is still here add me on steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/nidaa/

oh and not to forget swe and speedylolita

>>6864682
fuck off you pak

>>6864682
Did try to add you earlier but I'm literally retarded when it comes to new Steam.

Anyone pick up some swag? I bought a Madoka doujin and a Chuu2 one. Also has anyone else noticed that there were a lot more fake figures this year?

>>6864709
I got.

As for fake figures, there's always been tons.

>>6864704
post yours if you want

>>6864711
All dat Project-H

>>6864718
13 total now.

>>6864682
ey son das me.

ill add you when im at my pc.

>>6864711
How do you buy these without spilling spaghetti everywhere?

>>6864769
I'm the hentai prince. Not a single fuck.

Collecting their publications.

Costumes that cover most of the face?
I want to take part in a masquerade or something, but am terrified of pulling derpy faces through fear, so any ideas of (partially) masked costumes?

>>6864769
>"Hi, I'll take this please"
>Hand over money
>Receive change

>>6864769
You're already surrounded by people buying the same thing and talking to a guy that enthusiastically sells them. What would make you drop your pasta everywhere?

>>6864790
My sense of shame.

>>6864794
>implying anyone gives a fuck

>>6864794
Son I brought a whole bunch of Crossed comics, how do you think I felt?

Finally back home in the good old North, feels good to have my own bed again.

Shame I'm going to stay up all night Lightroom'ing all the photos I took. I'll probably post them all here or put up a link to them sometime tonight or tomorrow.

Overall the weekend got progressively better from being absolutely horrible, especially when no-one can figure out which ibis hotel is which.

>>6864695
Fuck you wigger.

>>6864869
>Son I brought a whole bunch of Crossed comics, how do you think I felt?
Sadly resigned to the fact you have shitty taste?

I'm just going to say here that the short spell I spent with Eva makes me agree with the anon way up the page who says the main group are the colour grey personified. They really fucking are. At least Eva has a bit of life in her and some thoughts that aren't "hurr we r da leet sekrit club". Would have liked to meet some anons but the thought of the flying semen from the inevitable circle jerk made me go do something less gay.

So did anyone see that people where running off with Liam bag and headpiece after expo was over. He just left it as he wonder around almost took a photo with his head piece on as joke but my party said I be taking it to far.

>>6865069
I don't speak african sorry dude. Try saying that in English?

I only just about had a meet today where two turned up, one bailed out during the meet (can't blame the person, but they could have said something as I'm no trip-fag and wouldn't have been insulted) and I helped the other one towards the end. All in all it was better than not having a meet at all and I look forward to the next event in October.

To all the fags here who love trying to get drinks in a crowed and over-popular venue related bar (hence The Fox) there is a new one local to the area called The Oliver Bar which is a bar on a boat. It is located close to the odd glass building called The Crystal and is generally a lot less crowed and a potentially better option overall.

The bar in question is where I started my meet at and I would like to let others know it is a good option to meet at unlike the ticket machine (that was just trolling) and even the statue by a small margin (which is always populated during a MCM Expo event).

Well that is my take of my experience and I hope this might be a little useful for the October event when it comes.

>>6864640
Didn't you hear she had a sex change fuck sake get with the times

>>6865972
I still want a blowjob from her and so what if she is a guy now i'm bi

>>6865972
that wouldn't stop her fucking anything that moves though

>>6865972
I guess she decided to take the whole pegging thing to a new level that no one can compete with her at.

>>6866329
I heard she prefers to fuck things that don't move, too much effort.

any pics yet?

>>6865564
Cheers for the shortcut mate, was there in time. Even had to wait for like 1.5 hours.

Had a surprisingly good first Expo and will probably continue to come back at least a few more times.
I left the meet fairly quickly to go drink, since it was so disorganised, so I didn't really get to see that many people besides the two kids that spent the night drinking in our room. Good fun, got no regrets.

Really need to bring a cosplay or camera with me the next time so I wont feel like a total casualfag, woop.

>>6861721
Best room ever, definitely makes the current minus on my bankaccount worth it. A+ would stay there again.

Weekend was so mellow. Call me a bitch but It was really nice to have a change of pace from end of uni celebrations. Sorry If I seemed a bit distant and for leaving the meet early, went back to the bunker with a few people and played a few games. Scratched up the back of my hand on the Sunday and managed to make it look like one of the stamps. I almost broke down laughing when I found the porn star corner. Still way too many people throwing around steady cams this year, needs to stop. No one wants to watch a shitty edit that you've put no effort into.

>>6866960
Thank you for introducing me and the others to that drinking game, it was really fun (and I still can't believe you fell for that QuestionMaster round I was doing...)

Definitely got to get a room like that for October.

How do you even get a GF at expo? Everyone I saw turned out to be with someone already

I just want someone to watch anime with and shit

>>6867055
they're all crazy though

>>6865069
I saw Liam stalking this girl around the square grass bit, she was walking quite quickly but he was obviously following her, so she hid and then bolted it back to her friends. Poor thing.

>>6867055
The vast majority of "couples" going round weren't actual couples. The girl has a good-looking boyfriend who isn't into anime or cosplay so she gets invited by her beta-arse friend. He carries her stuff and buys her everything and she just goes with him. By the end of the night he's alone and she's in some good-looking stranger's bed.

>>6867055
You don't need to be dating someone to watch anime with them, step it up homie.

>>6867085
This

I met quite a few cosplayers at the weekend and some of them asked me if I was on facebook, and when I added them all I see is "in a relationship"

But yeah I wanna girlfriend I can geek out with. I don't care if they are crazy as long as they don't lie and they give me a bit of attention

The general population of the MCM attendees is getting progressively more douche-like with the emergence of groups like Sexy cosplay guys/girls. The course of these threads is a good example.
It's sending out the message that the majority of cosplayers treat the hobby as some kind of fetish or way to pick up girls/guys rather than just doing it for enjoyment.
A lot of good people are turning away from the scene now because of this and the sad thing is, there's very little that can be done to stop it since it's so wide spread.
It's not as bad at smaller cons but if it creeps in, rip uk con scene as we know it.

Took next to no pictures. I'm still not used to the whole taking pictures at expos yet. I'm definitely buying a 50mm for next time so I can try to cut out some of this background noise, really starting to grow out of my kit lens. Saw one guy running around with a reflector and shoving it in people face without even asking then taking a picture. Total ass hole with no respect for peoples personal space.

>>6867099
Back in the day I went to cons to attend the actual events, see my friends and have fun in cosplay.
Now that I've grown older, I do all those things + sex. It's a break from my stressful work and life, might as well have some extra fun when people are willing. I think it's the same for a lot of friends.

With that said, /cgl/ reeks of desperation these days. Don't go to a con hoping/expecting to get laid, just take that as a bonus. If you need to ask the internet for advice on how to get with horny drunk nerds then you have a problem. Take it as it comes and leave it out of con-threads.

+More cosplay variety this year than previously
+Way more good T&A than usual
+Floor seemed better laid out with more room
+Fox was a little cheaper than I remember it being last year
+Got my dick in Tabby and Kelly Jean

-No real stand out costumes
-Not many good props
-Way too many pricks with huge cameras blocking the floor
-Plagued with free huggers
-Saturday is still a nightmare
-Too many rip off stalls selling shitty deviantart manga, swords and second hand body pillows

4/10

>>6867123
I'm not saying that cons should be free of sex, It's just that it seems to be taking a higher priority over cosplay and creating a really scummy vibe.

>>6867133
>selling second hand body pillows
I cringed a little

>>6867122
That's really nice. Yeah, for cosplay photos I basically just used a 50mm for everything. It's nice having the wide apertures for when you are indoors, so you can avoid using shitty ISOs or flash.

Being able to avoid flash is pretty useful though, available light tends to look a lot better, and there are a small number of people who suffer from epilepsy (such as a friend I met recently).

Only thing I'm starting to find with my 50 though is that it's not quite perfect for portraits. Something like an 85mm will give you a flatter image (as opposed to the slight fisheye effect you get on shorter focal lengths - an extreme example being 18mm if you need to try and visualise the effect). So where I was taking photos of people in front of the shutter doors, you can see the barrel distortion of the lens where straight lines don't run straight etc (which is normally something you don't notice if you had taken a photo outside).

The other thing is I did a couple of face shots since some people had good makeup and such, but with a 50 you have to get almost uncomfortably close to them - in almost all cases I felt I had to apologise for getting so close.

That said, the shallower angle of view should be nice.

The downside is that for full body shots you will need to back the fuck up since it's zoomed in that much more, which means you will get people walking in your shot, camera shake will be more noticable, you will more likely not be able to get as fast aperture/shutter speed as a 50 and so on.

>>6867133
>+Got my dick in Tabby and Kelly Jean
kelly is a total cunt though, why stick your dick in crazy?

>>6867136
I got a theory for this.

Robots from r9k come over to this board and here about people getting laid at these nerd cons and flip their shit in excitement.

Is no one going to post any photos?

They probably aren't reading this but I want to give a shout out to the Mio and Ritsu cosplayers who did a shoot with me as they were absolute legends. We chatted for maybe 20 minutes before hand about stuff and the actual faffing around with photos was like another hour.

Pretty much made Expo worth going.

>>6867153
This is what Im wondering.
Anyone know why that asian guy was making video? He had this line of cosplayers and he'd run through several times to make some vid. Is that up yet?

>>6867122
Ah, I think I spoke to you briefly, great costume.

Sage for no contribution.

>>6867075
Some DJ came on and started playing metal late-ish on Sat. Liam was sitting on the stage just leering at this short girl, or else slowly staring side to side with his eyes wide open. Would have loved to have seen the security guard push him into the pit, he'd have been fucked.

>>6867133
>Got my dick in Tabby and Kelly Jean

The believability is weak with this one. Unless it was with both of them at the same time. Then its believeable.

>>6867153
I'm still working on mine, I'll get them finished soon and dump them.

>>6867164
Sorry new to everything here, when you say pit do you mean mosh pit?

Also I here there was some sort of party there. That true?

>>6867131
>tfw just outside of picture

Fun meetup.

>>6867141
Thanks for the advice, bro. Another thing I really need to invest in is a lens hood.

>>6867161
There's always a shit loads of people making cosplay montages that everyone apart from the people involved hate. Don't get me started on them, they're the worst.

>>6867197
Woops left my picture out. All that lens flare.

>>6867187
>mosh pit
Yep.

MCM ought to actually get some real bands, though. I thought I could hear folk rock early on the Saturday, and went over, but it was just some twats with inflatable guitars doing karaoke. Seriously, there must be about 10,000 pub-rock bands who would jump at the chance to play on an open-air stage at an event with 60,000 people. Even if only about 20 of those even care enough to get close to the stage

>>6867202
Early on the Sunday even, arse.

>captcha: erilwanc caused. A few cosplays did cause me to IRL wank, it must be said

>>6867099
UK con "scene" has been dead since its inception.

>>6867202
Whats the party like?

>>6867223
If its been dead all these years then sexualising it is some nasty necro shit.

>>6867228
shit.

>>6867230
lol.

>>6867202
There were three bands who actually have record deals and have been in the charts but they weren't advertised any more than the others so it went to waste.

>>6867144
You realise crazy bitches fuck the best and always swallow, right?

>>6867281
and then they cling to you with their daddy issues and emotional problems

Anyone got pictures?

>>6867290
Can't cling to you when you're 1400 km away.

>>6867296
they'll try, trust me

where do i get in line for a clingy girl? i love that

>>6867198
that War Machine was the fucking shit, apart from a slightly dodgy cannon

>>6867328
There were a lot of really good Iron Man suit cosplays, it was pretty impressive.
Should we start a new thread for photos? This one's past the bump.

>>6867336
yeah, whoever posts pix do this

>>6867348
I'll do it soon then

>>6867169
Why not use flickr? you can upload right from Lightroom 4 and theres no pro accounts anymore

>>6867383
There aren't any Pro accounts now? What happened?
And I do use it but I like to dump them here too.

So is it true that Liam got off with a fat bird? Like a really hamburgling fattie?

>>6867099
Eh? When I was travelling to the con and lining up I saw some rasta / stoner kids, a very stereotypical chav and some /fit/ types who were talking about this business they were setting up. If anything that shows the popularity of "geek culture" and the MCM is expanding to ever-more-normal people. Could you imagine any of that lot going to an AL event? (or even knowing AL exists, for that matter)

>>6867316
Any UK con. It's way harder to find a chick at a con who isn't a clingy mentalist than one that is.

now we're auto saging

>>6867446
how do you alphas find a girl at a con anyway? do you just like go up to one you like, talk about random anime for 10 mins then say are you single and do you want to go for a drink or what?

>>6867458
>>6862641

This guy seemed to have a decent enough idea. Dunno about if you aren't in cosplay though...

>>6867458
I usually just get my dick out then hack it off with a bread knife. Works every time.

>>6867397
Yahoo decided to change it all to keep up with other sites like FB (what?) I think

see this is the thing, ill bump into someone in cosplay (i dont cosplay), say its nice and that, chat for a few minutes and it doesnt go anywhere after that

is there a secret technique to gauging if someone is interested, or even single for that matter. virtually everyone i meet is taken, hence why i'm turning my attention to expo to find someone i have things in common with

Basically you're asking how to talk to girls anywhere. This isn't exclusive to cons. It just so happens it's easier at cons because you know the majority of the girls there would rather take it up the ass raw than go to bed alone.

It ain't about being some alpha bro or talking about who has the biggest anime collection. It's plain normal social skills. Talk to people, be normal, be nice, loads of girls will be queueing up to suck on your balls.

>>6867479
First time going yesterday and it was so good. The atmosphere was fantastic and I had so much fun.

Did anyone see/take part in that big cosplay bum rush around the side of the building? There was a proper photographers doing some work and there was an entire line of really quality cosplay.

if they are holding a free hugs sign, is it because they are ronery and your chances of getting somewhere are greatly increased?

Get this shit off of /cgl/ and back to /soc/ you friction burnt fucks.

>>6867508
No

Free huggers crave human contact but they're too awkward to put themselves out there properly. The ones that will bend over for anyone are the ones walking around the con floor in bikinis.

>>6867524
is that a rule of thumb like just anyone in a bikini? or does that apply for cosplayers too? like if you see a yoko littner cosplayer, ir's probably because she wants the D?

New thread:

>>6867535

>>6867530
Yokos are the most desperate for it.

>>6866844
Good to know I was helpful, but I hope you didn't get too bored waiting and all.
