I-Con 27: Short Recap
Nessie | 6:48 AM on 04.07.2008 6 comments


I-Con 27 finished up yesterday. I didn't get to really go to the panels I wanted to for various reasons, but I did get to stop by the gaming rooms.

The console gaming room had just about everything, including a DDR machine and a huge projector screen where people were playing Mugen. Kenshin totally kicked Trunk's ass. ;)
There was Rock Band setup as well as Brawl. We had been there right before the DDR Tournament started, and it seemed decently organized since they were taking names on the blackboard and working it out with the people there. The room was a bit cramped, but thats because they moved it to a smaller room this year. (They did a lot of weird things this year like having only one working speaker for the cosplay competition - lolwut?) I didn't really get to see the results but watched some people play before we left to do other things.

My friends and I also stopped by the PC Gaming room on Saturday; but we left since there really wasn't much to choose from. One room wasn't even connected to the internet, just for LAN and there was like.. 4 people in there? Didn't even check the other room since they said it was the same game choices. (Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne being the only decent option really.) It was pretty disappointing honestly, and I wish the schedule also had the gaming choices printed instead of walking there for no reason. (The convention is across several buildings on the University campus.)

Nontheless, the rest of the con was pretty fun; it only sucks that I woke up Sunday morning feeling really sick and today I can barely speak, but doing well otherwise. :) I got some nice fantasy prints, some gifts for friends, and looking forward to next year!

It will be at another campus on Long Island, and I've been hearing about a lot of cool changes for next year, but I'm not sure whats fact or fiction yet. I attached some pictures including the Hentai room, which was filled with people heckling the screen at the cheap Samurai XXX animation (or really, lack thereof.) WTF at those flowers, seriously!?

Til I-Con 28~ <3

Awesome. Thanks for reporting. Maybe I can get out to one of these things, next time. :)

No, i'm not planning on going to the NYCC :< i didnt even realize it was coming up so soon, i thought it was later in the year for some reason.

but yeah, I-Con was filled with so much stuff to do, i hope next year turns out even better~

I was actually there;

Did you see a kid in a V for Vendetta/Epic Fail Guy mask and white sweatshirts harass people?

That was me. C:

and i totally agree, the gamer room was insane. trying to get to the brawl setup was impossible, so eventually we (the other like ten friends i was with) took off <:

It was fun, though. I'm going again next year,no doubt about it. :D
