00:14:49 [Cassian]<_<
00:14:55 [Cassian]Sorry didn't notice
00:17:57 [nathanbp]np, was walking down to the library to pick up more books anyways
00:18:06 [Cassian]Ah
00:18:20 [nathanbp]at this rate by the time I get around to the Date a Live light novels I'll be ready to read them in Japanese >_>
00:18:26 [Cassian]<_<;
00:20:02 [nathanbp]lol, the HaCha game sold more copies than the Fate Illya game
00:20:13 [Cassian]Lol
00:20:39 [Cassian]I only saw that Youkai Watch 2 is still destroying any new competition
00:22:38 [Cassian]When do you want to meet to exchange books tomorrow? If you're driving down tomorrow
00:23:26 [nathanbp]Yeah, I am driving down tomorrow (with Sam, Emily, and Mark)
00:24:46 [nathanbp]around 3 or 4 maybe?
00:25:00 [nathanbp]that's probably around when we'll be heading out to pick up badges
00:25:11 [nathanbp]lol: http://otakon.com/vitals_hours.asp
00:25:13 [Sacchi]Vitals: Hours
00:25:21 [nathanbp]still says: "These are Preliminary Hours. Actual hours will be posted closer to the event."
00:25:32 [Cassian]I'm probably not gonna be around until like 6 because I don't want to pay for parking >_>:::
00:26:00 [nathanbp]ah, ok
00:26:21 [nathanbp]probably depends on how the pre-reg line ends up working then
00:27:47 [nathanbp]hopefully we will be out by 6ish and can exchange then?
00:28:15 [Cassian]Sounds good
00:28:30 [Cassian]I might be a bit later than that depending on traffic
00:28:49 [nathanbp]ok
00:35:07 [nathanbp]seeing as how Sam is still on AIM, I'm doubting they're going to be on the 8:51 train out of Penn >_>;
00:37:55 [Cassian]<_<;;
00:40:17 [Cassian]Good job guys
00:40:55 [nathanbp]well they said they'd be on the 8:51 train or the 9:51 one so my bet was on 9:51 >_>
00:41:00 [Cassian]Lol
00:41:49 [nathanbp]oh, so I'll be in your area-ish (Columbia, MD) for a 3-day meeting with one of our customers ( >_< ) September 8-11, so if you wanted to meet up for dinner either the 9th or the 10th that'd work for me
00:42:28 [Cassian]Okay, I should be free then
00:46:42 [nathanbp]ok, cool
01:08:07 [Cassian]Is Sam still on AIM <_<;
01:14:25 [nathanbp]yep
01:15:04 [Cassian]Sam pls
01:27:30 [nathanbp]10:51 train?
01:49:43 [nathanbp]apparently, 11:51 train...
02:02:57 [Cassian].......
02:03:03 [Cassian]Guys.....
02:03:58 [nathanbp]apparently it'll take me until then to beat this week's heroics in Hearthstone >_>
02:04:15 [Cassian]Lol
02:04:31 [nathanbp]* nathanbp gives up and does Japanese flashcards
02:04:36 [Cassian]Lol
02:05:00 [Cassian]Apparently Ed will have the next volume of From the New World early this weekend >_>;;;;;;
02:05:55 [nathanbp]I saw that
02:06:11 [nathanbp]gonna have to rush the dealer's room on Friday and get his early releases >_>
02:06:39 [Cassian]Me too
02:06:47 [Cassian]I'm gonna be there when it opens so <_<;
02:07:16 [nathanbp]although rightstuf has not shipped me the last volume of From the New World yet
02:07:37 [nathanbp]when does it open on Friday?
02:09:39 [Cassian]The convention opens at 8:30 so I assume 9:00am maybe?
02:10:03 [nathanbp]I thought it usually didn't open until like 11 or noon on Friday
02:10:09 [Cassian]We'll know for sure tomorrow
02:10:15 [Cassian]Yeah that's probably right
02:10:22 [Cassian]But I'm going to be there at 8am so
02:10:38 [nathanbp]Friday is Noon to 8 PM says Guidebook
02:11:01 [Cassian]Well we're gonna have to rush there and get back for the Translation panel D:
02:11:28 [nathanbp]You aren't going to get in before the translation panel unless you get in line for it at 8 AM >_>
02:11:42 [Cassian]<_<;
02:11:55 [Cassian]But I need my Sidonia D:
02:12:11 [nathanbp]do you really think he'll sell out by 1:30?
02:12:42 [Cassian]Yeah
02:13:04 [Cassian]Last year when it opened Sidonia was almost sold out already
02:13:54 [nathanbp]well I guess I don't need Sidonia since I already have it on order >_>
02:14:00 [Cassian]Yeah
02:14:18 [Cassian]I don't know about From the New World
02:14:36 [Cassian]I guess I can get in the line when the con center opens <_<;
02:15:21 [Cassian]But we did get in right away when it opened last year
02:15:25 [nathanbp]I guess you're going to want to go right from the light novel translation panel to the autograph line anyways
02:15:50 [Cassian]Yeah
02:16:09 [Cassian]I should ask when it opens if that signning is ticketed or not
02:16:29 [nathanbp]well it says you can get in line up to an hour before
02:16:50 [Cassian]Yeah
02:16:57 [nathanbp]Vertical is immediately to the right of the dealers room entrance this year (with Kodansha)
02:17:04 [Cassian]Yeah , I saw that
02:17:46 [nathanbp]I'm wavering on if I want to get up early enough to get in line at 8 AM >_>
02:18:20 [Cassian]You don't have to <_<
02:19:33 [Cassian]I guess I have something for the third person at that signning too
02:19:39 [nathanbp]it's not like I have anything else to do >_>;
02:19:46 [Cassian]True
02:20:02 [nathanbp]It'll be good practice for getting to work at 8 AM Monday morning like I have to do >_<
02:20:17 [Cassian]>_<
02:21:15 [Cassian]Are you going with them to the Yoshiki concert?
02:22:11 [nathanbp]Probably not
02:22:27 [Cassian]Okay, I'm not going either
02:22:28 [nathanbp]Can't say I'm really interested, plus it sounds like tickets will be at a premium
02:22:33 [Cassian]Yeah....
02:22:47 [nathanbp]I signed up for the ticket lottery to increase their chance of getting tickets
02:22:51 [Cassian]I'd rather not have to wait in line 50% of the first day at the con
02:22:57 [Cassian]*time
02:22:58 [Cassian]Ah
02:23:14 [Cassian]I didn't realize the lottery is the only way so far
02:23:18 [nathanbp]did you see how they're doing it? no lines this year
02:23:26 [Cassian]Huh???
02:23:43 [nathanbp]You had to sign up for the lottery by noon today
02:23:58 [Cassian]This is just for the concerts right?
02:24:04 [nathanbp]just for the sunday concert
02:24:17 [Cassian]Ah, alright
02:24:53 [nathanbp]I guess I wasn't the only person to miss this information >_>
02:24:57 [nathanbp]http://www.otakon.com/guests/SundayConcertInfo.asp has the details
02:25:00 [Sacchi]Guests: 2014 Sunday Concert Information
02:26:19 [Cassian]Oh
02:26:25 [Cassian]That totally wasn't clear at all
02:26:40 [Cassian]I'm glad I let Emily know when they first announced it
02:26:51 [nathanbp]Yeah, I didn't see anything about it until this morning
02:27:07 [nathanbp]Emily claimed they put it on the sidebar on the Otakon website at least twice before that
02:27:19 [Cassian]Huh
02:27:56 [nathanbp]so the only line will be for a very limited number of tickets Sunday morning
02:28:05 [Cassian]Ah, mkes sense
02:29:13 [Cassian]I'm glad nothing I want to do is like that
02:29:23 [nathanbp]Yeah
02:30:16 [Cassian]Well I hear the VA from Mahouka you have to buy something at the Aniplex booth to get in but that at least means you get a good shot
02:31:14 [nathanbp]that's very Aniplex...
02:31:35 [nathanbp]They had a signing like that for the SAO author at Sakuracon
02:31:39 [Cassian]I hear its the same for all the con guests they bring
02:31:45 [Cassian]Oh
02:31:55 [Cassian]What did you end up getting
02:32:20 [nathanbp]It was only with the purchase of this SAO wall scroll they had
02:32:43 [nathanbp]so I got that signed by Reki and the 2 singers they had (from the 2nd SAO OP and ED)
02:32:47 [Cassian]Oh
02:32:55 [nathanbp]They had some regular signing sessions for Reki too though
02:34:21 [Cassian]Oh, good
02:34:28 [nathanbp]that reminds me I need to read the translation of his tweets from SAO II ep 5
02:34:36 [nathanbp]so I have volume 7 of SAO signed by him too >_>
02:35:14 [Cassian]Lol
02:36:10 [nathanbp]Thanks Reki: "Sinon! Pressed the Remove All Equipment button!"
02:36:58 [Cassian]Reki pls
02:37:15 [nathanbp]lol: The《preliminary》written in the window means 予選. There seem to be other words that mean 予選 like《heat}},《elimination}}, or《qualification}}, but I don't understand the difference in nuance even after looking them up.
02:37:35 [nathanbp](where words in {{}} were written in English in the original tweet)
02:37:47 [Cassian]Oh
02:41:55 [nathanbp]hm, I guess Emily isn't feeling well so they aren't going to head out until tomorrow morning :(
02:43:55 [nathanbp]hmm, apparently they revealed the VA for the hidden character in the ep 5 credits...
02:44:03 [nathanbp]not sure why they bothered putting it as ?? in ep 1 then...
02:44:11 [Cassian].....
02:44:13 [Cassian]:(
02:44:40 [Cassian]Bah, the guest blurb doesn't mention which Layton games Ishii worked on
02:45:04 [nathanbp]also, Kirito and Sinon are credited under their character names, I'm amused >_>
02:45:12 [Cassian]Lol
02:46:29 [Cassian]I guess if we get to the dealer's room early you can find something to get signed ny Yura if they're selling anything for him
02:46:58 [nathanbp]maybe this is actually a plot by Sam to avoid having to be forced to watch bad anime by me >_>;;;;;;;
02:49:12 [nathanbp]is there a better list of things Yura has worked on somewhere?
02:49:25 [nathanbp](in English?)
02:52:25 [Cassian]http://vgmdb.net/artist/4618
02:52:26 [Sacchi]Hiroaki Yura - VGMdb
02:53:30 [Cassian]Also Valkyria Chronicles
02:53:38 [nathanbp]thanks
02:53:44 [Cassian]No prob
02:56:09 [nathanbp]hmm, Steins;Gate movie, but I guess that's not out here yet
02:56:18 [Cassian]Nope
02:56:20 [nathanbp]and I'm not sure I care enough to get the OST just to get it signed >_>
02:57:11 [nathanbp]there was an Otakon theme song???
02:57:18 [nathanbp]http://vgmdb.net/album/20141 -> notes
02:57:19 [Sacchi]CIAP-1002 | Shackles of Night - VGMdb
02:57:26 [Cassian]Yeah
02:58:55 [Cassian]Apparently he has a special thanks for Xwnoblade
02:58:59 [Cassian]*Xenoblade
03:00:01 [Cassian]Oh right, Romeo x Juliet....
03:01:02 [nathanbp]It doesn't sound like he was really involved with Xenoblade...
03:01:09 [Cassian]Yeah
03:01:30 [Cassian]It doesn't sound like he was really involved in valkyria chronicles either
03:02:06 [nathanbp]maybe I'll just stick to getting Fire Emblem signed. Too bad I failed to get a copy of Disappearance when it came out...
03:02:12 [Cassian]Yeah...
03:02:24 [Cassian]He might have something there to get signed...
03:02:27 [Cassian]But I doubt that
03:11:05 [nathanbp]oh well...
03:11:13 [nathanbp]catching up on flashcards after otakon is going to suck >_>;;
03:14:06 [Cassian]DX
03:38:15 [nathanbp]hey finally nozaki-kun 4
03:38:22 [nathanbp]"Typesetting can take a while sometimes."
03:38:37 [Cassian]Hahaha
03:39:10 [nathanbp]4 MB/s download, I love my internet >_>;;
03:40:26 [nathanbp]Time to watch it
03:40:38 [nathanbp]This had better be the most amazing typesetting ever
03:40:49 [Cassian]LOL
04:06:15 [nathanbp]that episode was pretty amazing
04:06:27 [nathanbp]that was indeed a lot of typesetting >_>
04:09:04 [nathanbp]They did it word by word as the dating sim text was appearing...
04:09:20 [nathanbp]Don't think that was really necessary >_>
04:11:00 [Cassian]No
04:14:20 [Cassian]Maybe 5 will be out by the time you come back from Otakon
04:14:27 [Cassian]When 6 will have aired <_<
04:15:11 [nathanbp]yeah...
04:15:19 [nathanbp]they said 5 shouldn't be that far behind 4
04:15:38 [Cassian]Well they have until Sunday to get it out before then
04:15:50 [nathanbp]hopefully they aren't going to Otakon
04:15:54 [Cassian]Yeah
