This is quite possibly the most tasteless 9/11 memorial image I've seen in 11 years. That's saying a lot. Let me get this right, am I seeing this correctly, is that Goku bro fisting a fireman? Why is there a Bob Dylan quote in here, what does he have to do with an anime convention? Why does Mertrocon need to tastelessly remember September 11th 2001 now of all years? You didn't do anything for the 10th anniversary, or any other year, did you? So why this year? WHY IS GOKU BROFISTING A FIREMAN?

Why do people still remember it? It happened 11 fucking years ago, we don't need reminding on the news all the time that it happened. Not even the 7/7 bombings in London got this much coverage.

Just let it go as something that happened and let the people who were affected let them have their memorials, you don't need several films and documentaries on it airing every single year.

If the Japanese Imperial Government knew when to throw in the towel and call it quits then they still would have been left standing. However Harry Truman himself took full responsibility of there was to be any backlash for the attack.


Allow me to explain the backwards logic here for those of you lost in the sauce. As tasteless as these pictures are I understand there conviction and what they are trying to point out.

The Good: There are the heroes we worship in fantasy and then there are those who are real life heroes who have sacrificed themselves. We look up to these role models and every day worship and respect them for there gallantry and sacrifices (whether real or fake). As cool as you think Goku is you should never undermined the fact of the real life everyday heroes of reality.

The Bad: You are taking two completely different things and mashing them together hoping they resemble something remotely patriotic. It's like you took Scooby-Doo and put him in a Holocaust remembrance poster. It just doesn't fit at all. It fits as much as as a hambeast trying to squeeze with every once of fat into a Sailor Moon cosplay that is clearly meant of a size 4 female.

I think some of you would condemn Metrocon, no matter what they do. Shadocon peeps I'm sure. I remember when Metro announced their new convention everyone came screaming about how their dates were to close to Shado and they were just trying to take out the competition. Now KhaoticKon owned in part by the same guy who owns Shado announces their dates. One week before the all ready announced Belle con, and not a peep out of any of you. Here's the rub. Belle con is being run by Animebelle who has befriended and helped both Shado and Khaotic ever since they started. I know, I know Chris and Henry are the good guys abd Alex and Nick are evil. So why are the good guys stabbing their good friend in the back? Are they that threatened that someone smarter and more respected than then is starting a convention?

Alex and Nick pick their cast based on who puts out. It starts with "body shots" at their parties and they act like its all harmless but thats just until they can get you drunk. Then they don't leave you alone until you take off your clothes and fuck at least one of them or eat out one of their wives. If it isn't one of them its that old creeper, Terry or that asshole Nate. The ones you aren't fucking like to watch.

After I saw that I walked out and didnt care about the part. They didn't say anything after that but I was never invited to another party and I don't think I'd be casted again even if I could bring myself to try out.

That's speculation. He never demanded sex for a part, which is pretty obvious because he was always complaining about not getting laid. It's a fact that the new owners, Nick and Alex, invite people who want to be on cast and that they want to fuck to their "private parties". If they put out, they get a part.

To this day I don't understand why they don't hire a professional to do their costume shit. Oh wait it's because then you'd have to pay them. They had that prop guy on staff but he never got shit done on time and it probably didn't help that they only paid him in video games that Roy was stealing from Best Buy. This was back when they had the partnership with Best Buy. Any games that were prizes those years just got lost in the stock room and showed up on Roy's doorstep. Props bro was always complaining about how Mr. Metrocon was trying to pay him in games and would never reimburse him for plastic.

I'm still friends with a lot of those people involved. Believe it or not a lot of people do work very hard, and I respect them for it, very very hard to deliver a very sub-par piece of trash production. If anyone wants to know why nobody sues them for copyright infringement well it's because this is garbage. Literally the only people that care about this thing are the ones involved with it, it's a giant circle jerk with a lot of almost cult-like mentality. The reason I never fit in with this crowd, the reason I'm gone, is because ultimately I didn't care, I just wanted to make monster costumes and not have it come out of my pocket, I was not a team player.

the new owners only care about the money they get from the con and getting laid at their drunken swinger parties

they use the chess match to make themselves look good and attract girls that they promise to "cast" if they pass an "audition" and they do nothing to hide the fact that they make heaps of cash off the kids. how else do you explain a las vegas trip for the nick and alex and their wives and the fight directors right after the con? alex even got himself a new iphone that he's been waving around and bragging about. and next year will be even more expensive i'm sure just because they can do it as long as people will pay for it.

Yes, Metro got smaller this year. Of course they won't admit that, but from what i've been told they added all the rave-only, Masquerade-only and single day tickets to the total and only came up with 8,033 (on the Metro site's main page). For some perspective, the previous year (2011) they had 7776.

What >>6261661 says is completely true. This coupled with the fact they announced their new "edgey" convention to try to attack Shadocon? I think the con will be smaller in the coming years, they might even have to move the main events room back downstairs in the TCC if they can afford to be there at all.

They used to cast enough decent cosplayers to balance things out. Even if their acting was so so, a cast member with good costumes would a) look good ,and b) help others with their costumes.

And now that nick and alex have fired everyone who was part of the original Metrocon cast and crew (Or they left knowing what a crappy event it is turning into) the entire con suffers for it.

They are driving (or firing) all the good people they used to have away with their attitude of "if you aren't with us you are against us"

They have also instituted a policy that states you cant volunteer for any other convention's shows or you wont be coming back to theirs. Of course, there are notable exceptions in the case of their fuck-buddies and fight directors.

"the quality of the things we created at Metrocon"

I think he means "the quality of the things Roy created at Metrocon and we bought from him" since Team Dynamite hasn't produced a single new original show yet and obviously lacks the talent to do so (their only "new" show was obviously stolen from ShadoCon).


"Team Dynamite Productions would be the only would be the only ones offering that kind of product if other conventions hadn't decided what we do is easy"

It's called "competition" you clueless fuck. Too bad you don't like it because the reality of the situation is that you probably won't survive it and you know it. What you do isn't easy, you just do it poorly and it shows.

"ShadoCon can either get better or get lost"

They're in their third year now (apparently you can't count well since you also failed to realize your attendance was down this year). They've moved to a larger new hotel (you know, they one where you're putting Assylum). Their numbers are growing rapidly and people are openly liking them more than you. That qualifies as "getting better" so you can "get lost".

I think Alex needs to tell us more about how they created Metrocon and the Anime Human Chess Match and how Team Dynamite Productions is so awesome that we can't look away. If he says it enough times someone else might start believing him.

I'm just wondering what "badass" ego-stroking characters Alex and Nick have all picked out for themselves this year.

Everyone of their fuck buddy friends knows who they'll play but they'll let others audition for the parts just so they can laugh at them.

It should be fun to watch since Metrocon auditions have gotten smaller every year. What started with over 200 auditions with Roy before 2009 dropped to the mid-100's in 2010, the low 100's in 2011 and then a lot less than 100 this year. That's why they cast the same people in every show, because they're running out of people to fuck and yell at and then call it "directing".

process of elimination:

1) Alex's character will have to carry a sword and fence (hacking and slashing is beneath him)

2) Nick's character will have to be a bad ass/asshole

3) neither will be a "juvenile" character (because they can't stand to be seen as childish)

4) no masks or heavy makeup (you might not recognize them)

and 5) they need to be popular, well known characters

This past year was my last year at Metro. I'd figure I would give them one more shot to impress me. They failed extremely. The part that pissed me off the most is that they flat out lied about their numbers trying to make it look like more people attended. My friend "worked" at registration this passed year and she told me the truth.
