MCM Expo - anyone go?

[The Diabolical Biz]

Usually there's a thread about this, but I couldn't find one around.

Anyone go to Expo this weekend? It was a pretty good un, there were tonnes of freebies around! Lots of nice games to play too (and fuck me, Dark Souls really is bloody difficult!)

Also bringing my 3DS was a great idea, I got like 100 hits!

That's the one in London with the huge (by comparison to the rest) animé section, right?
I went to that last year, but due to several reasons, couldn't go this year.
Oh well, maybe I'll have my Adepta Sororitas cosplay ready for next year.
Wish I had the money to go this year, and the other reasons for not going dealt with >.>
I still have the free DVDs they gave out with entry from last year. Never opened any of them >.>

Yeah that's the one. Aww that would have been really cool to see! This year they were giving out a free Ghost In The Shell DVD! Got an ocarina later, too! Still, hopefully see you next time!

Wait, just one DVD?
Last year, everyone was given a bag with at least four random DVDs >.>
I got a Gundam SEED, some submarine animé, and a couple of random DVDs only useful as coffee mats >.>
Yeah, maybe you'll see me next time. Or rather, not see me, if I have the armour complete. I intend to make the helmet as well. Not sure what to make for weapons, if at all.

I was a little late so I may have missed some stuff. Make a chainsword! And one of those snazzy hand flamers!

Damn I missed out on this one because of yr 11 work, which I still have not completed damn it! I was imparticurly excited to go to this one because I heard RoosterTeeth was there!

I had a load of revision to do unfortunately.
I always go to the May expo though, despite not being a huge anime fan.
They're just so much fun!

where is the May expo, when are tickets available and where can i buy them?

OT: i'm sad because Fenris and Anders' voice actors were there. i have a friend who really likes torchwood, and there were a few torchwood actors there too. so i'm a sadwich.

My friends and I unfortunately didn't go to this months one. We went earlier this year though, the one in May which was pretty awesome, I loved it. I'l definitely go next year in May when I have money.

We should all meet up there next time

Yeah a little Escapist get-together would be pretty nifty!

I generally prefer the October ones, weirdly, but I'll be damned if I ain't there in May!

When I get a job. And when I get my costume of Sanji prepared.

Otherwise, I would've.

I went as Dr.McNinja and my good pal went as a Splicer. It was my second expo and his first. We had a great time.

Also I photo mobbed a few people and kept picking upthis Snake cosplayer's cardboard box and shouting SNAKE!!!! very loudly at him and then walking off. Fun times.

Omg did the snake box have 'Not Snake' and 'I can't believe it's not snake' written on it?

If so, that's the guy I went with!

Well I think that I shouted SNAKE!!!! real loud at that guy and it was another Snake cosplayer I "boxed". However it could have been him.

As far as I know out of the three Dr.McNinja cosplayers (me and two other guys) I was the only one acting like such a twat.

Also when I went to play Dark Souls my controller kept disconnecting.

Ohh shit yeah I think I saw you! I wasn't cosplaying, just wearing my Zelda 25th anniversary symphony t-shirt.

EDIT: Well, and a hoodie...

The free "swag" this year was alot less than last year. I think it was mainly due to the larger number of people going and increased cost of lots of free stuff.

 

[alrekr]

I'm suprised by the lack of posts. Come on escapist; I'm sure there's more people on here who went.

Any how new question: Who's going in May next year?

 

[Joe Deadman]

I was there on saturday with college.

Second visit to MCM and just as awesome as the first, i'll probably go to the may one as well.
Twas pretty cool, 3 of our tutors actually cosplayed as random prisoners from arkham.
