Hey guys, I've just noticed a pattern to my blogs... they happen only once a month :lol: I do mean to post sooner than I do, but its just that whenever I say I need to, I just can't be bothered to, or get caught doing something else :P Anyway, last Saturday there was an anime, manga and gaming con up in Dundee, so I decided to head along to that. As you'd expect there was a lot of Cosplayers and I managed to get a few pictures for uploading:
Here's the very regal looking Princess Zelda
Dante was posing for the crowd, show off :lol:
Gotta catch 'em all, dunno where Pikachu was though :P
There's actually more photos but I didn't want to make the blog too long, I also picked up some merch including this
A Naruto headband and Kunai, I also got a keyring of Lightning's Blazefire Sabre sword from Final Fantasy XIII. While there I watched some FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood, it was the episode showing how Ed lost his limbs and Al lost his body. The 3DS was also on display and I got try one of the AR games, and after playing it I can't wait to get my own now. Roll on March 25th :P There was also a Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament but I forgot to take my deck with me so I didn't enter. Gamestation was also there hosting a Marvel Vs Capcom 3 tournament, but I'm not that good at fighting games, so I didn't bother entering that :P I did watch some of it though a lot the players were extremely good at it, so wouldn't stood a chance :lol:
In other news, I've got another Interview for college next year on Tuesday (I had one for last Tuesday but I had a hospital appointment) so wish me luck for that :D College this year though is going good so far, I'm up to date with everything and I'm on course to pass which is what I'll probably need to do to get on the 3D Animation course I've applied for next year.
In gaming related news, Pokemon Black and White was released last Friday (4th March) and I picked up each, with Black as my main game, I haven't had much time to play it so I only have two badges. My team for the time being is:
Servine - Lv 25
Pignite - Lv 23
Dewott - Lv25
Tranquil - Lv 24
Blitzle - Lv 21
Munna - Lv 20
I'll probably switch Munna for Axew when I get one, as I want a Haxorus, but I get the feeling that I still have a ways to go before I find one :|
I downloaded the new Mortal Kombat demo and made a video impressions which can be found here. The demo is only available to Playstation Plus subscribers. This is actually the first time I've played a Mortal Kombat game, mainly because I was too young to play the first few that came out and also because I'm not very good at fighting games as I mentioned earlier and as you'll see if you watch the video :lol: but, I have seen videos of gameplay from older ones on Youtube and on here, so I pretty much knew what to expect from it. I have to say that its a fun game and performing a fatality is extremely satisfying :P
I've also bought Test Drive Unlimited 2, I haven't played the first so I can't compare it with that, but I can say its decent open world driving game, I also got Hyperdimension Neptunia, and what can I say other than its an interesting game, The combat is pretty simple but the story and dialogue can be dry but funny at the same time. The graphics are anime/manga ****and are ecchi, it is a decent game so far though :P
Thats all for this time, I'll back with another blog on the weekend of the 3DS release, so until then catch you guys later ;)
