02:37:15 <Puyopuyo> Back from Otakon.
02:49:05 <nathanbp> I just said that in my other IRC channel.
02:49:46 <Puyopuyo> That's terrible.
02:54:49 <nathanbp> .....
02:55:52 <Puyopuyo> Nathan threw the Lagann at me. Clearly I should make more terrible, terrible puns.
02:58:02 <nathanbp> running out of things to throw at Sam
02:58:29 <nathanbp> He picked up food
02:58:35 <nathanbp> just as I was going to throw something at him
02:58:37 <nathanbp> cheater
02:58:44 <Puyopuyo> Defensive rice!
02:58:46 <nathanbp> I guess I'm writing this for posterity....
02:59:02 <nathanbp> or maybe because Sam and I can no longer speak
02:59:13 <Puyopuyo> Apparently not.

22:29:48 <nathanbp|work> hello
22:30:29 <Puyopuyo> Hello
22:31:15 <nathanbp|work> I ordered a Nexus 7 on the theory that it can do pretty much everything I want out of a laptop
22:31:19 <nathanbp|work> We'll see how this goes...
22:39:57 <Puyopuyo> Oh dear. Here's hoping.

23:01:02 <gadgetgrl> the humble indie music bundle speaks more to my indie side than ian's, is the conclusion i think
23:01:39 <gadgetgrl> so otakon...any highlights? 
23:02:27 <nathanbp|work> Sam can say EVERY LINE of Redeath in synchrony with the video
23:02:33 <nathanbp|work> EVERY SINGLE LINE
23:03:10 <nathanbp|work> The brainwave controlled cat ears were a huge hit in the dealers room
23:03:30 <nathanbp|work> Andrew was on track to sell about 80 (at $100 each) and he was only one of 5 vendors selling them
23:03:37 <nathanbp|work> There were a ton of people wearing them around the con by the end
23:04:06 <nathanbp|work> No one in the US stocks Precure Merchandise
23:04:06 <gadgetgrl> wow
23:04:21 <gadgetgrl> heh
23:04:25 <gadgetgrl> or at least brings it with them to a con
23:04:30 <gadgetgrl> or did you ask?
23:04:38 <nathanbp|work> Didn't ask
23:05:16 <nathanbp|work> Peter S. Beagle (author of the Last Unicorn) was there and signing things (Sam and I both got a signed copy)
23:05:56 <gadgetgrl> cool
23:06:01 <gadgetgrl> he's becoming quite the regular
23:06:06 <nathanbp|work> Funi was really really pushing Stein's Gate
23:06:44 <nathanbp|work> They had at least 5 official cosplayers and were handing out stuff and had an area of their booth set up to look like the lab
23:06:51 <gadgetgrl> wow
23:06:58 <gadgetgrl> tha'ts kind of cool
23:07:12 <nathanbp|work> Yeah
23:07:40 <nathanbp|work> I got a "Future Gadget Lab Member" decal thing which I probably will not put on my car >_>;;
23:07:42 <Puyopuyo> They were also really pushing Panty and Stocking.
23:07:51 <gadgetgrl> hehe, nice 
23:07:58 <gadgetgrl> i'm not surprised
23:08:04 <nathanbp|work> I did not buy the $1000 Sailor Moon artbook.
23:08:14 <gadgetgrl> woah...was it original?
23:08:27 <nathanbp|work> Yeah
23:08:33 <gadgetgrl> ah
23:08:52 <gadgetgrl> man, i wish i started buying merch for my hobbies when i was younger
23:09:03 <gadgetgrl> too bad i was mostly hiding that i was watching it at that point >.>
23:09:03 <nathanbp|work> The same place was selling Madoka soul gem cell phone straps (like the one I got in Japan) for $20 O_o
23:09:25 <gadgetgrl> and it was only available in canada (small detail)
23:09:32 <gadgetgrl> woah!
23:09:49 <gadgetgrl> we should have bought the machine and made a killing!
23:09:53 <nathanbp|work> lol
23:10:29 <nathanbp|work> The translator for the Spice & Wolf and Haruhi (volume 7+) light novels did a panel that was pretty good
23:10:36 <gadgetgrl> neat
23:10:57 <Puyopuyo> I think we enjoyed most of the industry-side panels we went to.
23:11:08 <nathanbp|work> Yeah
23:11:25 <Puyopuyo> ...why is Aniplex pushing SWORD ART ONLINE CD SINGLES?
23:11:28 <gadgetgrl> that's good to hear
23:11:45 <nathanbp|work> Whichever of me and Emily you see first has a Chi's Sweet Home poster for you from Vertical
23:12:17 <gadgetgrl> woohoo! :D
23:12:55 <gadgetgrl> i'm surprised they had anything...it's coming out soooo slow in japan right now
23:12:59 <nathanbp|work> At the Vertical panel they said it would be ending with volume 10 or 11 and that they'd ask the author about an artbook
23:13:12 <gadgetgrl> cool
23:13:14 <nathanbp|work> Yeah they mentioned that they were finally caught up with Japan
23:13:28 <gadgetgrl> i don't buy the english versions, so that doesn't matter much to me lol
23:13:38 <nathanbp|work> I tormented Sam and Emily by showing them the first ep of Sword Art Online
23:13:50 <gadgetgrl> that's the actual title of an anime? o.O
23:13:56 <Puyopuyo> Yes
23:14:02 <gadgetgrl> i feel i should fear it
23:14:44 <nathanbp|work> I don't know that the title is the reason you should fear it
23:15:09 <gadgetgrl> it's pretty bad to start
23:15:13 <gadgetgrl> it gets worse?
23:15:43 <nathanbp|work> Sam, something occurred to me. I didn't see that many (any?) volacoid cosplayers. Did you?
23:16:20 <Puyopuyo> Saw some Rin and Lens.
23:16:35 <Puyopuyo> And there was a Luka during the 4 hour dance off they had.
23:17:32 <nathanbp|work> ah
23:18:41 <gadgetgrl> was the dance off in the hallway?
23:19:14 <nathanbp|work> There were a lot more people walking around with music this year... Not really sure why they let them...
23:20:11 <gadgetgrl> gah...such a stupid trend
23:20:48 <Puyopuyo> It was in the fountain room.
23:21:46 <gadgetgrl> ah, that's at least not completley foot traffic area
23:23:22 <Puyopuyo> It was when there were AMVs in there.
23:24:00 <gadgetgrl> boo
23:28:36 <nathanbp|work> There were 5 nearly identical Madoka AMVs :(
23:28:41 <nathanbp|work> and they were all terrible
23:29:08 <Puyopuyo> It was impressive how bad they were.
23:29:12 <gadgetgrl> i'm not suprised?
23:29:14 <gadgetgrl> really?
23:29:24 <nathanbp|work> It was kinda impressive
23:29:30 <nathanbp|work> You'd think someone would have made a decent one
23:29:32 <Puyopuyo> They ALL managed to spoil the entire series in about 3 minutes.
23:32:31 <nathanbp|work> winners are here if you care Sam: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=108396&start=285#p1453891
23:32:33 <Sacchi> AnimeMusicVideos.org • View topic - The Otakon 2012 Thread: AMV Contest Rules are Live
23:33:07 <nathanbp|work> I don't remember which is which mostly without my ballot though...
23:35:48 <nathanbp|work> Oh, Vertical is rereleasing the Parakiss manga...
23:37:19 <Puyopuyo> Upbeat/Dance was the Walking on Sunshine one for winner, the Rideback one for runner up
23:37:36 <Puyopuyo> Best in show was "I sneak 2 AMVs into one"
23:37:45 <nathanbp|work> Yep I remember that one
23:38:00 <Puyopuyo> Vic's pick was the CCS one we DIDN'T like.
23:38:16 <Puyopuyo> Romance Sentimental winner was Usagi drop
23:38:20 <Puyopuyo> Er, runner up
23:38:31 <Puyopuyo> Winner was the CCS one we DID like
23:38:48 <Puyopuyo> Action winner was the Durarara one, runner up was the Sengoku Basara one.
23:39:17 <Puyopuyo> Drama Serious winner was the Zero no Tsukaima one, and runner up was the Steins;gate one.
23:39:43 <Puyopuyo> And the trailer ones are obvious
23:39:50 <Puyopuyo> Looks like you picked mostly winners this year.
23:40:26 <nathanbp|work> I think I voted for Usagi drop over CCS actually
23:40:36 <nathanbp|work> Did vote for the ZnT one
23:40:53 <nathanbp|work> although the CCS one was good too
23:41:17 <nathanbp|work> not sure how much runner up means in a category with 4 entries...
23:41:24 <nathanbp|work> heading home from work...
23:41:29 -!- nathanbp|work has left #Cochineal [Quit: Leaving.]
23:58:36 <gadgetgrl> upbeat winner wasn't that good....
