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 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 >_>;;;;;;
02:05:53 <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
02:14:16 <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
