Convention Update - Friday:
I am pretty exhausted right now and intend to rest for the huge day that is Saturday at a convention but thought I'd drop by to post a quick update.

1. Yes, there was Pocky. Yes, I think I ate too much. Will have to control myself better these next two days.

2. AMKE is $40 for a weekend pass even six months before the thing. Why have convention prices gone up so much? It's like all of them are rapidly increasing. Makes me question whether or not it's worth it (especially as someone who doesn't cosplay... yet. I want to lose more weight first).

3. There's really not much else that interests me in the Vendor Hall. I like all my fan art commissioned - whether it's me or someone else doing the ordering. I am choosy with what I hang on my walls and would rather not do something that I don't LOVE, y'know? I have enough here already and need to get something Leia for inking. Don't need more things to clean, either.

4. In the video game room, I tried to play Luigi's Mansion but the disc was damaged beyond repair so I settled on Shadow Hearts: Covenant. I played that for about an hour until plot stuff picked up and I went "Screw this, I can't hear a thing in here." because of the loud electronic music and everything else going on. Nicolai being a bad guy was totally predictable and that might have been from when I played the game briefly long ago - or it might have been because he looks like the cliche snobbish "prince" villain (think Rufus Shinra). It did not surprise me. I liked the action wheel and the graphics are amazing for the time, but 1) I should play the first game first, if I can find it, and 2) it wasn't a good time for immersion. When I go there tomorrow, I intend to play games that aren't RPGs - as that was my main worry about playing one of those.

I also played Turtles in Time on an arcade machine but couldn't get more lives (it's free - a local arcade is a sponsor partner of this convention) and got a Game Over. Oh wells. I'll try again, probably. Takes me back to being a young kid at Chuck E. Cheese...

5. There were a lot of things happening and I'm sure you'll see more when the movie comes out. Panels were pretty sparse, sadly - they didn't get as many this year.(even those not hosted by guests, but the guests I get because of the movie). Only one I went to was a "Whose Line Is It Anime?" one - I've attended these with the group that does them at several different cons (they do it at both this one and my November one) - and it was funny as always. I even contributed a little and incited a huge laugh from the crowd. You had to be there, though.

I'm not going to be able to give such an update tomorrow but I thought I'd do that now while I am decompressing and coming down off my Pocky rush.

Oh yes, step count: 8300. I'm at 67,500 total. I shall have zero problem making this six straight weeks. ^_^

But for now, good night guys.
