So, what are or were you for Halloween? Anything funny, interesting or just plain weird? Show us some links to your photos. If its good enough, I’ll get something out of our prize box for you. Oh, and before I head to Andrew’s party, can you guess what me and Jesmes15 are dressed as?

Well the MCM London Expo is over for this year and the long wait till May 2010 is upon us. It’s been a decent outing for the London Expo, which has expanded in size and seen more games attention than ever before, including the unveiling of the Operation Chastity Warthog! But before we go, here’s a little wrap up in pictures for you to browse. We’ve got cosplay galore, the good, the bad and the down right sexy. So what are you waiting for, hit the jump and see what you missed. (more…)
Here are the photos that we tried to upload during the weekend of the show. But as you read from Bill’s articles, the internet was non-existent due to a lame hotel and internet problems at the con. Also, there were hardly any cosplayers and/or booth babes to take photos of. Nonetheless, here they are. Enjoy them past the break.
Again, big thanks to the GameX staff for a kick ass event.
Day 2 of GameX, while starting an hour late for us due to an alarm clock failure, has proven to be just as fun and successful as Day 1. More, actually, on both fronts. I’ve never managed to have this much fun at a gaming convention before. The staff is smart, hard working, friendly and willing to help with whatever anyone needs. The exhibitors were, with one small exception I will mention later, top notch and full of win. The floor? Packed today, people old and young, hardcore gamer and people new to the scene.
Tomorrow yours truly, representing Pixelated Geek, will be present and reporting from the October 2009 MCM London Expo.
On the agenda for the show is:
For Halo fans we also have a treat for you with the full size Halo M12 ‘Warthog’ LRV, which is to be used in the upcoming Halo fan-flick Operation Chastity making an appearance.
Of course they’ll also be a load of cosplay on show, so we’ll have the best, the worst and the down right strange on show for you.

The time has come for me to level my Final Judgment on VGXpo 2009! Another day of Philly kicking us in the nuts equaled us not being able to make is downtown for Day 3. The story is quite a long, complicated one that intertwines many smaller storied, but you’ll need to listen to the podcast this week to hear the true hilarity. Text cannot do our weird night and morning justice. For the purposes of this write-up, long story short style, after a four mile walk to find a car battery and some nipple clamps… Just kidding, no nipple clamps. But we did get a car battery. And some live crabs. We didn’t make it to the Expo today, though I do feel I garnered enough from Days 1 and 2 to render a verdict on this con.
Saturday, October 10th. VGXpo, Day 2. My review of Day 1 was lukewarm, at best. Much has changed for Day 2. Some parts for much betters, others for worse. I’ll touch on a few key products and services I saw that actually caught my eye, though they were few and far between, as well as some misadventures and terribadness that kept things from running as smoothly as possible. More after the break!
Finally got my Long Beach Comic Con cosplay video montage done. Sorry for the delay everyone. Still on my hard drive that needs to be edited is the super hilarious Robot Chicken panel. Stay tuned for that and enjoy the above montage. Btw, the black R2-D2 is that same one that appears in Fanboys the movie.
I finally got the first gallery of Cosplay photos up from day one of Video Games Expo. Even though day one wasn’t as busy as day two, I still got a good number of photos to share with you, our lovely readers. Go past the break for the full gallery and enjoy. (more…)
For the 1st annual Long Beach Comic Con, I was really impressed by the turn out. Sure things were a little bit more low key and amateur than San Diego Comic Con, but again, this is their first year vs SDCC having 40 years. So, congratulations to the Long Beach Comic Con staff for creating a very relaxing and more down to earth con. I enjoyed it and hope to be coming back for years to come. And now, on to the costumes and cosplayers.
