Just thought I'd set this up as a place to collect nice Sega related fan art in one place:


I'm not all too familiar with how this group thing works yet so bear with me.

4) Don't play any Nintendo games for a while, Ant and Dec might break into your house! "Are you still playing Brain Training, New Mario Bros DS and Mario Kart DS? No I bloody well ain't, they came out years ago, stop advertising them!

3) Viewing Deviantart galleries and random;y being redirected to some odd website if i don't touch anything for ten seconds, since when did the site do that? Throws me to places like China TV, Stone Statues and some other shit. O_o

2) This Rage Against the Machine for Christmas No.1 facebook nonsense. I like the song, but come on, it came out in 1993, why not a new song? Who pulled this random song out of a hat the the lulz? Can't go on facebook without hearing everyone banging on about it, as if anyone has cared about the music charts the rest of the year. I'd love to see something out of no where get number 1 just to spite these hypocritical Facebook sheep. How is this any different to how X factor fixes the number 1 spot?

and the number one is..

1) That Confused.com sponsored ad that plays on ITV2 which my mum watches every day. "THE CHOICE IS CLEAR! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!\" and doesn't even begin to explain just how annoying it is, they play it every five minutes. I wish I had a gun to shoot the TV with. In fact just put commercials in general my top annoyance. All the Gold for cash ads and the fact that the commercials are always three times louder than the actual program. I just mute them when I can now.

How did that happen? I thought I was 19 about a year ago! Where did those years go? ;_;

Oh well, here's something that made my day. Stacey drew me a Lucy Lolly pic, and it is awesome. So very, very awesome: [link]

Also got some sweet presents:

The Pingwings DVD from the Dragon's Friendly Society ( [link] ). Early 60's Oliver Postgate series set on the grass by his barn starring early-clanger like penguins. You just cannot go wrong with good ol' Postgate, bless his soul.

Some DS games including the elusive My Japanese Coach. May as well see if it motivates me to learn even a small hint of the language considering how many Japanese lanuage games I seem to own. So far though it's just making me hit gohphers on the head that are holding words up like 'Kamikaze' and 'arigato'. Hmm. That's only within the first fiver minutes though, so we'll see. Also Little Red Riding Hood Zombie BBQ. Does that sound badass or what?

Also the Simon's Cat book from my sis, some Sonic toys, a nice sonic wallet to replace my battered up Zim one, some shirts yadda yadda yadda. You're not interested in this stuff, are you?

The last week I've also been moving from my small old bedroom to a bigger room in the house. I had been in that room since we moved into the house when I was about 1! I have no idea how I got all my stuff in there, it was rather claustrophobic but now I have enough room for all my junk including that bulky Mega Drive rotating stand thingy and even a new double bed I bought. So comfy! :3

It's over! (has been since last night, forgot to update)

Yep, I've set up a live stream channel for some reason. I'm planning to do some stuff on there possibly tonight, so you can watch me draw and animate on me computer, if you're that bored and wanna chat or something. I would also like to stream some video game playing but I haven't quite got my webcam working completely on the laptop yet. When not live (like now) it's playing a bunch of my animations, which is kind of pointless as you can just watch them on Youtube but whooooooooo shut up.

That's right, an anime convention of all things! Well, it was also about video games, sci-fi, comics and other geeky things, but mainly anime. Weird that I never went to one of these a few years back when I was really big into the stuff so after a while of being out of the loop a lot of it went over my head, but I went because quite a few friends of mine were gonna be there and it was a fun day out. Shame I didn't really plan anything too well so I had to find peeps when I got there, most of which I didn't find in the end but I did bump into and , manged to find me too, so it was all good.

If I was to go again, I would defiantly pre-order the tickets, darn. I arrived at 11am and was stuck in the loooong queue for about 2 hours. Still, one of the odder queues I have ever been in, what with big lump of the people queuing dressed up ("cosplaying" if you wanna get weeaboo): I saw an awesome Tom Baker Doctor Who, a giant Pac-man suit, for some reason lots of gender swapped Nintendo characters, lots of elaborate Gothic dresses, and being an anime convention...lot's of ladies leaving little to the imagination (so many short skirts where to look agahsahjhj)! Many were holding up signs saying 'Free hugs!', too. Not that I'm complaining, or anything. It was no where near as bad as I feared.

So when I finally got in the place at 1pm-ish it was packed to the gills and massive: never been to a convention this big before. Lot's of stores et up selling anime tat, including one or two dodgy hentai stores (how much of a virgin must you want to be forever to buy a full body length pillow with a naked anime girl spread across it?), but there was also a lot of up-coming video games to play test, a big stage where at the end of the day the cosplayers pranced about on, and some cool stuff like the Ghostbusters car and a Back to the Future Delorean. There was signing booths with Tom Baker and Craig Charles which were a bit of a rip off: you had to buy tacky expensive merchandise before you could get anything signed. Meh, I'm not that fussed about a signature.

Quite a lot of the anime distributors like Manga and ADV were about selling wares as well as Neo Magazine, and Helen McCarthy who was signing copies of her new Osama Tezuka book, which was one of many things I bought while there along with the 'To Infinity and Beyond!' Pixar book which was surprisingly cheap, and some brilliant Sega themed t-shirts, a cheap DVD of a film I've never heard of that looks interesting, and a poster for an ace Wii game coming out soon.

I didn't get many photos but if you want to see a nice batch of some of the cosplayers check out Stacey's Flickr folder [link] Even though I'm not a big fan of anime like I used to be, it was a lot of fun and next year maybe I should dress as harry Hill for a laugh!
