@Owen: You’re right, that’s something I discussed with a friend but forgot to mention. There was no money involved in this (despite my shouting “where’s my ten million!?”), paper or otherwise, which was a shame…but I’m not sure how it would work into the gameplay anyway, unless you could cash it in for something.

@Baka-Raptor: I’ve got to learn how I did that, I want to do it again on someone else.

A guy trapping as a girl trapping as a guy. You’re the only one who’s pulled it off on me.

Epic con post is epic. Loved the Restricted Rock-Paper-Scissors bit. The only thing I’m wondering about is whether or not the game might have been improved with stacks of paper money — the lack of buying and selling of stars was rather glaring, unless you neglected to mention that bit.

@zqube: Lurking at Fanime was fun too, I enjoyed just walking back and forth sometimes, or just sitting in the halls. Oddly enough, I spent more money on food than on goods, though.

Saw the Hatsune Miku on Friday, unfortunately, she didn’t appear to show up the rest of the weekend.

@Baka-Raptor: I’m confused now. Am I guy trapping as a girl? Or a girl trapping as a guy? Or a guy trapping as a girl trapping as a guy trapping as a …

@Blissmo: Somehow, I’m tempted to agree. XD

@Dorne: Next year, they need to host Brave Men Road, eh?

@lk: S-silly lk, it’s not like I was just trying to reference anime instead of being ignorant about English literature or anything! *throws Catcher in the Rye novel at lk*

I’m saving the epic image. Also, sigh, failing at chronology. Ghost in the Shell came after Catcher in the Rye.

I applaud your efforts in getting this far CCY. Now, you face the challenges at the Star Side Hotel. Are you willing?

Now that you’ve been revealed as a trap, that punch was more satisfying than expected.

Whoa, so you were the dude in the Chihiro shirt. I actually was not sure what that shirt was until I saw it again but closer. I cracked a large smile when I saw Kyonko. It was one of those moments that assured me that I was alive and this isn’t all a dream. Same goes to the Hatsune Miku I saw.

I pretty much lurked my way through Fanime soaking in the weird atmosphere. I liked the amount of non-idiot anime fans; that gave me new found hope that anime fans aren’t all going numb. I really should have brought more money. It would also help if I planned a Con trip more than a week in advance.
