Well, AX was fun. Having it at the LA Convention Center was not a bad idea at all, actually. Surprisingly. o: The only complaint I have was that the food was EXPENSIVE (isn't it always?), and the nearest place that didn't charge outrageous prices was like.. a few blocks away. Which was annoying. And it's not fun to walk in the heat when you're wearing black leather. D: And carrying prop weapons. -complaaains-

The AMV Contest was great! xD I mean, the CDs weren't STOLEN or anything this year, pfbt. I actually enjoyed a good number of the videos this year, although there were a few that made me wonder how the heck they got in. I personally found that some of the pre-show videos (basically, excellent videos that didn't make it to finalists) did better than some of the odder choices in the actual contest. o_o; But ah, who am I to nitpick about this? All in all, it was good, too.

The Westin Bonaventure is amazing. If you're ever going to LA, STAY THAR. 8D Even though it's expensive. And parking for non-AX people was something like $42 a night.. eep!

Oh. As for cosplay! I cosplayed as Riku from Kingdom Hearts 2 and Reno from FFVII. Riku's wig was scrapped and we got a new one. B| Uh.. fixed something on Reno's costume, but I don't remember what (damn, I suck D: ). xD; Yeah. Pictures if I feel like it~. Or you could ask and I could try and find some. o_o I already found random pictures of me in random Photobucket accounts, ehe. xD OH! And I met there! Yaaaay. Again, anyways. xD

Artists Alley was amazing! I got to meet a lot of people I admire here on dA. :3 Everyone was so nice! And.. I spent close to three hundred dollars in there, ahaha. xD Most of it went to commissions~. I got two commissions from , and about six chibi ones from this one artist (I don't believe she has a dA), and she was so nice and cute. And two more from.. someone that has a dA, but I'm too lazy to look up her name. I'll pimp it later.

If anyone's interested, I've been busy with this roleplay comm on LJ: [link] Yay for shameless pimping? xD ANYWAYS, GO CHECK IT OUT. WE'RE NICE! Only the lake bites! </shameless pimping>

And since I suck, I'm closing it up with a meme, stolen from . Mainly because of question 19. xDD And 'cause I'm bored. D:

------

<MEME>

1. What is the first video game you played?

Would have to be Pokemon. xD I bought a Gameboy Color (it was an ugly lime green!) just so I could play Pokemon Yellow.

2. On what did you play your first video game?

Gameboy Color, ehe. x3

3. Which is the first video game you played that had blood?

Zelda: Ocarina of Time. xDD I don't remember his name anymore, but I'm almost positive that the main villain (wait, was it Ganandorf or something?) coughed up blood at the end. ..I was so, so traumatized. xD

4. Which is the first console you owned?

N64. We had it, but I never played it until after I got my Gameboy.

5. What consoles do you own as of now?

PC, PS1, PS2, PS3, Gamecube (somewhere in the garage; I think it's broken, though), N64, Nintendo DS, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance SP, PSP, and that really, really old system with that generic Nintendo controller that I don't remember the name of. ..It also doesn't work anymore. xD

6. Which consoles do you wish to own?

Uh.. o_o None at the moment? I mean, I guess I want a better computer, but.. >> Oh, wait. THE WII. I WANT THE WII. D:

7. What is/are your favorite game(s)?

I love Kingdom Hearts.. for the storyline. The gameplay's a little repetitive. I loveDevil May Cry, both for the gameplay and the storyline (even if I've chucked the controller across the room several times). Harvest Moon, oh my gosh. It's repetitive like woah, but it just works. I make it my goal to get all the new ones. xD So I hope I can get a Wii soon for the Harvest Moon on that one. ;_; (Tree of Tranquility or something, right?)

8. How many games do you own?

..Uh, total? I remember I had at least a hundred for the PS1. :/ And the PS2 has about.. eleven. xD The GBA has a good thirty or so, the PSP has eight, and the DS has thirty-three or something. PS3 has six, or something..? And I don't remember for the older, older systems. PC has a good number, too. Most of them were either presents, traded, or bought on sale, so don't think I paid full price for all of them, oh my gosh. D:

9. What game(s) do you wish to own?

Speaking for games already out.. TWEWY, definitely. The Phoenix Wright games that came after the first one. Several games on the Wii (Twilight Princess D: ). DMC4 for the computer (because I'm lame enough to buy it twice). Eh. Oh, Apartment Life for the Sims! 8D

10. If your most favorite game of all time was signed by your ultimate hero and if someone threw the game in the trash intentionally, what would you do to them?

Uh.. supposing I had a most favorite game of all time, and supposing I had an ultimate hero, I'd.. I have no idea? xD Knowing me, I'd react on immediate impulse. And then end up having the face the consequences later. Blah.

11. What console from the past do you wish to own?

None, really..

13. If you could make a game what genre would it be?

RPG, because I don't play enough of anything else to really understand how to make one. D:

14. What would your job be in the making of the game?

I FAIL AT ALL. D: So I don't know. xD

15. What game do you hate?

Surprisingly, every single Zelda game I've picked up except for Ocarina of Time.. I've hated. With a passion. AND YET I KEEP BUYING THEM. I've read really good reviews of Twilight Princess, though, so.. hopefully that'll be good. Yeah..

I also hate Tetris.

16. Would you buy a game made by a Christian gaming company?

Completely stealing Torien's answer, because I share the same view, really. It depends on how good or bad the game is. It's like asking if I would buy a CD of Christian music. It's horribly stereotypical. Dx I actually don't usually know what religion a certain band follows unless it's obvious in their songs, and even so, if the song's good, I'll keep listening. Like, Flyleaf is a wickedly awesome band, and I didn't realize they were Christian until I heard the song 'Cassie' (which also rocks, yaaay). Same thing happened with Thousand Foot Krutch. And several other bands. In fact, most the bands I listen to are Christian. xD Umm.. basically saying, a person's religion shouldn't be the deciding factor in what game I buy. :/

17. What would you rather play, a survival-action-horror game or a survival-puzzle-horror game?

Neither? D: I dislike horror, arrrgh. I don't think I've even played either genre, so I can't distinguish, anyways. xD

18. If you were sucked into a video game and had a choice of 2 weapons what would they be?

See, I hate questions like these. :/ Because even if you were given kickass weapons, realistically speaking, many people wouldn't even know how to use them. Or have the ability/strength to use them. xD; Swords are not as easy as they look! D: So, um. I'm sticking to things I'm comfortable with/have used extensively before. I'd use a bo ([link]), and my hands and feet (but mostly my feet).

19. What video game character do you find hot?

WHOOO! I STUCK OUT THE ENTIRE MEME FOR THIS QUESTION. And now that I've finally got here, I forgot the clever, witty thing I was gonna say. Damn! D: Well, Dante and Vergil from Devil May Cry are hot. And Reno from FFVII, even in his pixelly form, ahahaha. xD And Rufus, obviously (FFVII). Actually, everyone in the FFVII fandom is really, really hot. A world like that is impossible, seriously. xD Has anyone noticed how long Sephiroth's eyelashes are?

20. And finally, tag a fellow gamer with the Tag of Forcefulness(-3 Will)

I DON'T KNOW WHO ELSE GAMES LIEK WOAAAAH. D: So you're all screwed. Or do it yourself, I don't care. x3
