/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>6751693
I would tell you to follow MTAC's Twitter, but I don't recall that one ever getting called to begin with. I know the guy who runs their social media stuff; if I see him at GMX I'll call him out on it. Those kind of schedule changes are supposed to be posted and advertised in advance.

I don't remember who, but I recall hearing rumors that one of the Conkitty candidates was kind of a jerk. She was also more into the cosplay than the fandom shit, so some people got the vibe that she was more there for the attention than the con itself.

>>6750442
Yeah, they chose well for the new girl. I was worried they'd pick that bitchy one but they did a good job. She's adorable and apparently kind of a weeb, so she apparently does well.

The disorganization is a fact of life at cons, but it seems to happen a lot at MTAC. To their credit, they're doing a good job of keeping panels from running over (they actually have volunteers hold up a sign telling the organizer to get his shit together), and not a lot of the concerts ran over, so that's a good thing. You should have been at 2009, when every concert ran late and panels were starting about 1hr-1:30 late. It's gotten WAY better over the years. As far as moving panels to earlier, what panel did that? That seems odd.

Don't ever line up for the Rave. There's no point. It goes on literally all night, and you can be doing other fun shit while you wait for the line to disperse and them to make it open. I don't know why we have to line up for the damned thing, but we do. Go figure.

I actually have more of a problem with them scheduling good panels during main events. That Con Horror Story was during Opening Ceremonies, and they usually schedule 1-2 decent panels during Cosplay. That shit sucks.

I don't really care about the popular opinion. There are a lot of people into minecraft and internet culture, but that's relegated to GMX.

Plus, why don't we have those panels at the smaller con? Drum up some more attendance.

>>6745166
I saw her a few times. P cute.

>>6742628
We didn't end up going to the slant eye thing. I think the Slants have something to do with it, but I don't know. I doubt they'd allow a full-on racist panel like that.

>>6745413
They were alright, mainly because they stuck to their own thing. They were promoting a lot of the cliquey attitude, though; at least a few of my friends tried to talk some of them up, just to have them completely fucking ignore them. It's got to do with how they're treated and shit though, so I guess I understand it.

Also, anyone else take issue with the Pony theme at the ball? Not because it's ponies, but because ponies =! anime. For how much shit they've given us in the past for trying to run non-Anime/Manga panels at MTAC, somehow I wonder how homestuck and pony panels are exempt.

I wonder if that's how my non-weeb friends feel about me.

Still nursing the con crud here. Post your shit.

Anyone else see this cute Samus? She was dressed in full armor on Saturday, but she had this awesome dress on Friday night. Still have no idea how I figured it out as a Samus dress, but it's great nonetheless.

New thread, then?

>>6741106
I've actually never heard anything HPP has done. What do they play?

>>6741108
Probably.

So did you guys enjoy this year? What was shit, and what wasn't?

I had fun, but considering that 2012 was "my girlfriend is with me and she's on her period", I don't think it was really hard to top that.

>>6741098
Oh yeah, them. I didn't go because I don't listen to bad music.

>>6741088
HPP?

>>6741090
Mandre, fuck yes. You were operator as fuck. Remind me to buy you alcohol next year.

>>6741081
It's hanging on my wall next to my signed GMX badge.

>>6741074
Only MTAC concerts I've ever been to were the Man Power (because they rock) and the Protomen in 2011. Never noticed it, really.

>>6741048
The what?

>>6741033
The rave was not awful. I didn't go to any of the concerts, but I heard Powerglove knocked it out of the park.

Next year's theme AMV is up. Looks interesting. Going to be a lot of fangirling at this one.

>>6739730
I'm not white knighting anything; I just don't like seeing circlejerk shit on /cgl/.

>>6739997
And you expected that to end well? Seriously? Panels like this are what's wrong with content at this thing. It's a cool idea, but there's no way it's going to end well.

>>6738438
She comes every year as some kind of AC character. I've never had a positive experience dealing with Fev (actually got laughed at when I asked her for a prop quote a few years back), but her stuff is quality, so idk.

>>6738447
Le bullshit (AHHAAHAHAHA YOU CAN'T SAY THE NAME OF THAT WEBSITE IN POSTS ANYMORE THAT'S CLASSIC)

>>6737363
BAH, that's my favorite Yuno outfit. Oh well, maybe she'll be at GMX. (Not that you weren't adorable)

The content hasn't been good for a couple of years now. I felt like they kind of stepped it up a bit this year compared to Omega, but it's still underwhelming. I think a lot of it has to do with GMX taking a lot of content MTAC used to have before, and fan panels kind of taking over for one reason or another. Hopefully they can rein it in and get some good stuff going (though the easiest way to fix any complaints you have about panels is to fucking nut up and run one).

>>6737609
GMX content is generally kickass. It's way more relaxed and there's a lot of cool stuff. Mind you, MTAC is "Anime, Manga, Japanese culture, Adult Anime (etc), and Art", whereas GMX is essentially "Everything nerdy that MTAC doesn't touch on", so GMX's content is naturally going to be better and a lot more broad than MTAC's.

If you aren't into anime, you're probably never going to enjoy MTAC just on principle.

>>6737617
The rave wasn't that bad. Initial P was pretty damn good, and the ravers were fun. I just got frustrated because apparently no one wants to dance with a fat guy.

>>6737785
I think he's upset because (assuming that's Nia) posting a pic of someone just because HEY LOOK IT'S A TRIPFAG kind of reinforces the circlejerky attitude /cgl/ has had for a while, and that's never a good thing.

>>6737118
Kickass costume, though. Only Yuno I saw all weekend, unfortunately. <3

>>6737214
Saw ya. Nice costume.

>>6736247
Sonuvabitch, we saw you on Saturday morning in Artist's Alley and I didn't recognize you. Fuck. Go to GMX so I can buy you a beer.

>>6736251
You didn't even have to drive, man, suck it up.

>>6736237
Bacu damn it just fucking namefag for the thread, who'd you go as?
