Old thread is finally saging after almost 2 months >>8758354

Are you guys ready yet? We still have a couple more weeks but there's much to discuss!

The official /cgl/ meetup has been scheduled for Friday at 10 o'clock pm by the river view in the convention area (more info on location shall follow). Only come if you're cool or otherwise not hated by /cgl/.

Let's talk about cosplay plans (if any), schedules, and general bullshit related to the con.

Posted this in the other thread, but it bears repeating:

No Age Wristbands this year, so make sure to keep your ID on you if you plan on drinking.
>>
>>8849584
Why
>>
>>8849722
I dunno man. If a gull asks me for a drink, theyre getting it.
>>
I don't drink at any other convention except magfest. It's kind of like a group mentality/peer pressure, but not as a bad thing. Magfest is the only convention I see people I may have not seen in a year. My friends talk about it all year.

It seems it will be a big cosplay year. I am still on the fence if I will cosplay. It's getting really close, so I am going to have to make up my mind very soon.
>>
>>8850035
Do it. I'm doing it for the first time in a year, and the more cosplayers, the better.
>>
>>8849554
Is this a real photograph or a 3D model? I can't tell.
>>
>>8850035

I'm going as con cancer, but hopefully I'll have enough time to slough off my makeup before the drinking starts.

>>8850358

I'm torn on the "more cosplayers" thing--one thing I love about Magfest is that it seems to be a larger con that has still retained it's "small, chill" atmosphere. If the cosplay scene gets too big I think that will take it away. Hopefully I'm wrong!
>>
>>8850836
I think 3D model, a lot of the trees look identical.
>>
>>8850849
I don't think MAG will ever reach stupidly large cosplay levels like Katsu or something. What con cancer are you going as?
>>8850836

It's def getting bigger then it used to be for sure. I don't think it's close to Katsu level yet!

Speaking of this is probably the most cosplay I've done for magfest. But I sort of split it into 2 fancy & 2 casual stuff

I'm glad one band I wanted to see actually returned to play this year. I don't know wtf is going on this year with the bands but it is a shit show.

Undertale.

Hey me too. But you knew that already.

>>8852511

And that's fucking unfortunate that you won't go away.
>>
Undertale...

Undertale Copslay Everywhere...
>>
>>8852909
And it's fucking unfortunate that despite your prayers and wishes, that I haven't committed suicide yet after all these years.

Isn't it what you really desire?
>>
>>8853105
I'm proud to be a malignant cell spreading to the very bones of every convention.

Also I'll have whiskey in my ketchup bottle for my Sans get-up. So I'm a step ahead.
>>
>>8853348
I'll be on the lookout for you. I've got a flask full of rum, but that'll go out pretty fast. Assuming you're >>8852782 , Sans isn't that cancerous. Now Frisk/Chara, THATS CANCER.
>>
>>8853765
Nah that's actually S/O. I won't spoil her costume if she doesn't post it herself. But it isn't Frisk or Chara.
>>
>>8853772
Adorable! Well, if you two show up to the meet up, the suspense will be worth it. I was super tempted to go as Asgore for MAG, but some surprises limited my crafting fund. Decided on Hoxton instead.
>>
>>8853839
It's actually my first cosplay, and I believe hers as well? Hopefully mine isn't too shameful. Thankfully aside from the head Sans is pretty straightforward.
>>
>>8853845
Sounds fun, and I like the group cosplay you two are doing. And yeah, I went as Sans to a halloween party, fairly straightforward.
>>
>>8853107

Yeah, I don't really see who would be losing in that situation. If you die everyone wins.
>>
>>8854439
That's not happening, mate. Try dealing with it once in your life. Besides I'm already packed for Katsucon/MAGFest
>>
>>8854439

Magfest is pretty fucking huge. Even if you do see your shitty furry ex chances are you can just keep walking and never see them again.
>>
>>8855584
>>8855600

Yeah, with about 20,000+ people expected, you can loose just about everyone. If you go with a group of friends, very good chance each of you will have a completely different MAGFest.

you do visit /cgl/ so you do fit the requirements for the /cgl/ meetup. Plus parties are always fun, seriously come hang out with us.

Hopefully this snow clears up soon, fuck me it's terrible out. At the Gaylord we've got a fee inches, but if your hotel is in VA, call them up to gauge the weather.

It's supposed to rain tomorrow be in the high 40s/low 50s the rest of the week. By Thursday the roads should be fine.

>>8865716
Thats good to know, hopefully the snow will be melted as well, so the nooks of the hotel arent slushy.

I have a coworker that I pretty much hate being around that wears Otakon shirts all the time. That's the main reason I haven't gone to Otakon.

I went to MAGfest the last two years, might just skip this year. Just spent a bunch of money on going to Pokemon regionals this past weekend, sooooooo.

this, this, a million times this. when i talked to the concierge on the phone a month or two before katsucon the woman basically admitted that they hiked the room rates purely to cover the costs of hotel damage that they anticipate. with magfest being literally the week after a particularly egregious display at katsu, we as magfest attendees really cannot afford to drop the ball because that may just be the final straw that ties the gaylord's hands and forces them to ban both cons indefinitely.

the problem is, telling people this on /cgl/ is preach to the choir. if i'm being honest, i'm almost certain all this hotel bullshit we see more and more of is a direct result of cons going mainstream and bringing in normies who don't give a shit about the community, but rather just use cons as an excuse to get shitfaced and hit on attractive girls.

Just be happy the hotels in the harbor haven't pulled any Dragoncon hotel antics like making people prepay the entire stay up front with no room transfers or name changes on the room allowed. And if you want a room outside the con rate? Pony up $599 per night at the host hotels. If you try to pull any I'm a "diamond/platinum/premium plus" hotel member card, they will politely tell you lol, nope.

Any thoughts on how MAG being after Katsu instead of before, and in the middle of Feb compared to Jan might affect things?
>>
>>8868738
If you mean Katsu specifically, we're under a microscope. For timing, its bot bad. Presidents day weekend is bad, but at least most jobs dont have time off blackouts for that period.
>>
>>8868738
There wont be any more Christmas decorations and fake snow. I liked them they made me feel cozy. MAG is gonna get too big to overlap with that stuff though so I cant complain.

>MAG is gonna get too big

uggggh stop reminding me that every con turns to shit once people find out about it. cons these days have such a short shelf life... just look at katsucon now versus katsucon 2010.

not really. all of the rooms for vidya, tabletop and merch are require a badge. you'd be stuck in the hallways and the hotel side, which unlike katsucon is not necessarily a great destinaton (unless you are a cosplayer just trying to do photoshoots that is)
>>
>>8868876
I'm pretty optimistic of MAG this year even though its gonna be a ton of people and looking at some of the panels made me cringe. Even with how this Katsu went I still had a pretty good time, though yes I enjoyed previous years more. The ultimate pain for me is losing my only truly local convention in Otakon this year.
>>
>>8868621

Dragoncon hotels are the ultimate in "con has gotten to big for itself" problems. Plus the hotel damages there make the Katsu issues look like messy bathrooms -- nothing like dented railings from thrown bottles three floors up

They don't advertise the prices for the concepts, you have to ask. For comparison, though, the biggest non-concept suite is 349/night during midseason July. It'd be reasonable to double that for one of the bigger concepts, especially for a convention.

So in other words, people in the concepts are probably paying around ~2100 split between them all.

Cinnamon was 1000 a night. Spliting it between 10 people.

Then I will be sworn to secrecy though straight up the show made it seem it would be a pretty big open door event. Like the anniversary show.

No matter what my goal is literally to meet Snacks, if we party after that would be legit as fuck too.

What vidya are you guys playing?

Kill me please I cannot handle this cringe.

Only 6 people showed up at the meetup spot. Dead board, dead con. We're at the 2nd floor bar thing. Look for the Sans head on a table.
>>
>>8874861
Let's set a meet for tomorrow evening. A time slot that isn't slammed especially. We can do this right, play a game or dick around, grab a bite or a beer after. I've got a few people with me already, wouldn't take much to make this meet legit.
>>
>>8874861

Well Senpai, I am watching you guys from the next level.
>>
>>8874877
I didn't notice anyone up there.
>>
>>8874890
Yeah like I am going to get caught
>>
>>8874897
Then come down here and hang out. Jeez.
>>
>>8874759
It was packed, but there is a password for randos
>>
Meet up was small but comfy. Saw fuccbois come and go before heading to the lobby. Nice meeting everyone, look forward to tomorrow.

But yeah, those coats are obnoxious of hell. My mistake for not seein it in my drunken haze.
>>
>>8874861
Figured that was the lot of you. MFW recognize the sakuya with you
>>
Where the food at?
>>
I bring 5 people with me this year and nobody makes it past like 1am before they crash and sleep. Fuuuuck my friends can't hang.

How'd everyone's Friday go?
>>
Are there more cosplayers running around this year than last year's Magfest?
>>
Not actually MAGfest goer here, but I have a question:

Uni student and timing is an issue for me because it's during the spring semester. If I went I would have to skip at least 2 days of classes so I could make the round trip flights work. Is it worth it for next year? And is Sunday worth it? If possible I'd prefer to leave on Sunday. I'd be more apt to missing 1 day than 2
>>
>>8875362
No.
>>
I have a really simple favor to ask.

Would any of you guys be willing to help a fellow gull out and take one random picture wherever you are at the con and upload it here? Game room, hallway, anywhere that makes it obvious it's at MAGFest or the Gaylord. Just a random snapshot. Nothing complicated.

I didn't get to go this year. I can't really explain right now, but this picture would help me loads. I will give you my everlasting love if you could do this for me.

During the day you see a fairly decent amount of cosplay. Then it tends to dwindle down to a few and kigus.

>>8875215
I made it to my room at about 2:30 and handed out water to a few drunks that passed by. Was gonna do more but my habits of crashing when hitting homebase kicked in. Comfy night overall. Plan on getting Grace's carry out for lunch while I pack.

Hangin out here. Am in the teddie kigurumi and sunglasses

Sans and Undyne from last night are at the bar if you guys wanna come up here. With a bunch of other friends.
>>
>>8876321
Although we have very few seats.
>>
>>8876301
The inside has several gorgeous spots like a fake brick paved street, fountains, a palm grove, the infamous gazebo, etc which makes it a destination location for cosplayers. The smart ones come during magfest do they don't have to compete with katsu cosplayers. The cosplay density has been easily 5% or less

Went to 2 Let's Play panels and neither had the necessary consoles the panelists requested ready to go.

Now that Katsu and Magfest are over, are there any other cons in the area besides Otakon worth going to?
>>
did anyone see the flock of luigis this year lol
>>
>>8877271
Was one Super Best Friends? That was an embarrassing mess.

I fucking hate you cosplaying queers. You're easily the worst part about Magfest other than the massive spergy autists, which half of you are in both demographics anyway.

Magfest somehow got worse this year and coincidentally the number of cosplayers went up. I wonder if there's any correlation...
>>
>>8878627
You could blame it on the furries
>>
>>8878633
Cosplayers are just as bad. All degeneracy is heresy.

Stay in your containment zone cons.
>>
>>8877979
Anime USA used to be based but I can't speak on it for I haven't been in about two years.
>>
>>8878633
There were a fuckton of furries (yiffton?) any particular reason is the pop high there? I know the big con is in Philly which is kinda nearby. One guy built furry eyes that looked like they were following you it was the only time I was legit creeped out by a furry.
>>
>>8878627
There was some girl complaining about how MAGFest doesnt really cater to the cosplay crowd at the feedback panel.

The con chair shut her down by saying "There are thousands of cookie cutter cons out there that cater to cosplay"
>>
I daytripped to Magfest for the first time, and the difference between Magfest and Katsucon was like night and day. Katsucon is filled with sullen cosplayers standing around murdering time in between photoshoots who shoot sullen, judgmental glances at anyone cosplaying from the same series as them; Magfest is filled with happy nerds. I liked the Jam Pods, too. I'm not going to stop going to Katsucon, because I like the friends and photographers who go there, but I'm definitely going to daytrip to Magfest again next year.

It was also fun to just see the marina bustling with cosplayers at sunset after everyone was cooped up in the Gaylord last weekend, but that's less of a difference between Katsucon and Magfest than it is a difference between 20 degrees and 50 degrees.
>>
>>8878627
I bet you don't even play video games and just went to mag for the partying. The selection at the arcade was bigger than ever while consoles were half sf5 and half improvement. Indie and dealers had a sizable chunk to themselves. The cosplay was great, more so about fandom and having fun rather than cosfame. Personally, I found the douchy team rockets more bothersome than the furries.

All in all it was another great MAGfest. The autism was a bit less than usual just because con staff was preventing a Katsu 2.0. On top of that, around 100 people gathered at the shore to honor Troy Murdock. See you faggots next year.
>>
>>8878874
They cater to cosplayers by having room for them to move around and get photo shoots and there was someone on the bottom floor by reg with a huge kit of emergency cosplay repair supplies that's plenty. We don't need 50 more Cosplay 101 or how to Worbla even though you shouldn't panels.

>on cosplay board
>complains about cosplayers at a con
Nah son, you're the autist here. I will continue cosplaying at MAGFest, and knowing how asspained it makes faggots like you will make it even more worthwhile. :^)

I'm all for MAGFest becoming Katsu 2.0 for cosplayers.
>>
>>8878981
It's probably someone from 1449. Which makes it even better.
>>
The programming and performers weren't really my cup of tea this year but I still had a really incredible time. I met so many new people and had some of the most fun since I started going to cons. Talking to Mark Jacobs at the Camelot Unchained booth about mmos was a highlight, that guy is the coolest. Also I was really stoked that Tokyo Attack brought 6 fucking Jubeat cabinets.
>>
>>8875448
That was the 5th floor R.A.... staff suites where you would find them nomming.
>>
Any good or amazing cosplays at MagFest that weren't Anime?
>>
>>8879595
Saw some good undertale cosplays. A fursuit fox that was cool as well.
>>
>>8879646
The red and the white fox? That one was amazing
>>
>>8879709
Him too, Renard it was? I mesnt Fox from Star Fox.
>>
I like MAGfest, and I always bring my video game cosplays there to show love for older game series that aren't as popular at anime cons. I was pretty disappointed that the game challenges corner was down for the entire weekend, though. That was pretty lame.
>>
>>8879595
Most of the cosplay I saw there was game related, just Japanese games.
>>
>>8879595
there were a shit ton of RWBY and comic cosplays there
>>
First MAGfest, working shopkeep, we made out pretty well. Observations for next year.

1. If I work marketplace next year, I'm closing down earlier or taking more frequent breaks. As much as I love how they have the main festival layout easy to traverse from Arcade to Market to Indie Showcase and so on, the noise gets unbearable.
2. Also, The wifi was occasionally being a little shit about running payments through square. At this rate I'll have to bring a router of some kind next year.
3. Got to see and try a lot of great stuff, undoubtably need earplugs next year.
4. Inadvertantly ended up at Snacks party where I met some pretty boss people.

The only drawback is losing a couple small things (which I probably got in the door of my house and dropped like an idiot, anyway), my mutated KatsuMAG con plague, and just NOT ENOUGH SLEEP . I needed to pace myself better.

Also I really fucking wish Katsucon and MAGfest could be in March or April so being on the river would be reliably nicer. Saturday this week vs saturday last was night and day, totally ridiculous.
>>
I think this is my last magfest mainly because every group I go with has some sort of drama and invites a massive cunt to the rooms. Also I got super sick and missed all of Saturday unfortunately but that isn't magfest's fault.
>>
>>8880375
Come by yourself and join us at meetups then.
>>
>>8879078
Hopefully it will, that way it will drive out all the elitist autistic neckbeards who think they are better than cosplayers.
>>
>>8880506
>elitist autistic neckbeards who think they are better than cosplayers

I had no idea this was even a thing until this thread. Here I was thinking we were all under the same "insufferable faggot" umbrella. :'(
>>
I'll be straight up, the con was great, the people were fantastic but the meet up was tough.

Further feel pretty rough about missing the Snacks party, it was the goal of this con and I just never got a single detail. Great job on their part for security but man I'm jelly of those who got to go. Next time amigos.
