Old thread >>9012919
Con is over. Post cosplays and lolita here. Discuss about the Con.
>>9017498
Anyone wanna finish driving me home? I'm at a rest stop east of Madison.
That was some fucking good weekend. Embassy is the GOAT hotel. That video/arcade room too, fucking amazing. Acen just keeps getting better and better each year.
>>9017498
Is J-jim okay?
Interview anon here. Skype meeting went fine on Hyatt Wi-Fi and I have a classroom demostration/test interview set for sometime next week.
Thanks for all the emotional support seagulls!
friend and i went as Ico and Yorda, held hands the whole time, was cute
>>9017554
That sounds awesome.
I'm still a bit sad I couldn't meet the other anon that was going as Hanayo and Yozakura. I was looking forward to that
Apparently there was an Undertale themed orgy?
That is probably the weirdest thing I've ever heard.
The ball was really good this year, especially compared to the last few. Anyone else go?
Event-wise, Acen was fucking awful for the most part. All the good stuff was Friday.
Next year, I hope to meet up with some of you. Maybe that will change my overall shitty experience.
>>9017573
I mean one gull also going as Hanayo and another gull as Yozakura
Did anyone else see that shirtless Ocelot cosplayer? I wanted a pic but I was busy with some other shit. He was so hot, god damn (forgive me if you weren't Ocelot my thirst is strong)
>>9017574
If it's anything like the touhou orgy stuff (and I assume it is), it never actually happened.
>>9017583
I have a friend on staff who said she heard IRT talking about it.
For me, this year was way better than last year just because of the game room alone.
I was also excited that there were quite a few Konosuba cosplayers, but somehow no merch.
Anyone have shots from the Idol Aka Love Live shoot?
>>9017574
I know every year there's a Lolita Orgy at ACen.
Ico-gull, yall were cute
Post your hauls, nerds.
>>9017609
Yeah I saw a Minami last night doing a private shoot (?) I hope the photogs are gulls because fuck love live. Im@s is where it's at.
>>9017624
>overpaid for an aigis figure by $40
just cuck my shit up man
>>9017609
You talking about the Friday shoot?
>>9017575
I was at the formal! My uniform started to fall apart from all the dancing, but I had fun. Still can't waltz though, will need to practice a bit more.
>>9017634
You'll get the hang of it. Were you at lessons?
>>9017609
Any specific shots? I've got most shots besides Hanayo since I cosplayed her and idk if I got the other idol ones well, but I can get those from my boyfriend.
>>9017626
>went to the shoot cosplayed as Nico
>but im@s will always be my first love
>nearly cry when I see two im@s cosplayers Friday and then more Saturday.
>will def bring my Makoto & Iori cosplays next year
>>9017632
Yup. Friday in the ballroom area.
>>9017641
Missed out on the start because I forgot to bring money for the ticket and had to hurry back to my hotel. I made it in time for the tango steps.
>>9017645
Nico-related shots and the constellation outfits pls.
>>9017651
>makoto cosplay
Please do. Best girl deserves more cosplay and I'd have killed to see ANY Idolm@ster artwork in the artists alley
>>9017651
Yeah I'm hoping someone will post pics of that shoot. I was the crossplay Hanayo.
As for idolm@ster, I really am trying to get into it, but the games that are out (with fan translations) are idol Sims and I suck at those (also Ami and Mami's route has no translations). I did really enjoy puchimas and currently watching the Im@ anime.
Anyone get pictures of the Kongou with the ship gear?
I went to a Fetlife play party in a room rented at the ALoft. At the largest, it was about 20 people in the room at once. The person who hosted brought in cuffs, restraints, rope, etc.
I watched an Asian Haruhi Suzumiya crossplayer flog a woman in all black tied to the bed while a guy put ice on the sub's body while a crowd of nerds onlooked the scene, laughing and joking.
10/10
Freedom x Freedom
>>9017679
I debated going to that but I was just exhausted.
>>9017679
I know exactly what I'm doing next year
>>9017685
A lot of the music wasn't typical ballroom fare, though i am sure a lot of that was due to typical request line stuff.
>>9015857
That metal-head looking guy in the background is my friend's friend named Gothic Mike.
I found a group of Ping Pong cosplayers yesterday. You really can't see what the Peco cosplayer is holding in her left hand, but she had a bar of chocolate and some Japanese drink as props.
>>9017686
It was awesome. What a cool thing to go to at an anime convention. Def come next year, they do another one.
>>9017699
I probably will. My friend went and she said she enjoyed it. Actually, talking about it with her is what made me make an account.
>>9017624
Not much. The gold cloth is a kimono.
>>9017688
great now i know what's getting ruined next year
2016 my phone camera is still terrible but I just can't be bothered to invest in an actually good one.
>>9017714
Nah I'm not like that
I need to get into more series for next year so my purchasing options aren't so damn limited
$70 for a fucking Yukari nendo? Doubling the prices of all the SAS figures? I'll stick to amiami.
Plus I don't think this Mokou was worth $30, maybe $20
>>9017745
All the gunpla was overpriced, IBO HG for $20, every RG was $40, even my local model store has better prices than that.
>>9017679
>mfw I was supposed to go to that, but didn't go to the Friday meetup and was too bitch-made to just show up on Saturday
Maybe for Midwest.
>>9017755
Same. I'm still not exactly used to talking about my kinky side.
I should've taken more pics today but I was too nervous to interrupt the black D'va for a photo and nobody else caught my eye
>>9017765
>>9017767
Hnnnnnggg 10/10 would wife.
>>9017767

>>9017772

I'll dump what I have when I get them on my computer. My phone isn't letting me post pictures right now
>>9017773
>>9017780
>>9017780
There were so many good jojo cosplayers this year, but the Saturday photoshoot was so slow and cringy I couldn't sit through it. It's a shame too, I just couldn't sit through the memes that everyone was shouting.
>>9017785
The organizer ran out of ideas fast, which is odd for a SBR cosplay, could've had some nice panel recreations but no, "ALL JOESTARS AND BRANDOS WRY OFF AGAIN"
I had enough fun though
![tumblr_o7lthpgwEm1tcq5i5o1_1280[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/wiYEXcJ.jpg "tumblr_o7lthpgwEm1tcq5i5o1_1280[1].jpg")
>>9017787
I liked him
>>9017791
stellar photo
>>9017573
This is the only photo I have of my cosplay.
>>9017812
Absolutely amazing! How did you do her fists?
I'm so happy I was able to get a picture of this. I fucking love Symphogear and I only saw ONE cosplay of it.
>try to find pictures of self
>search MLP tags on tumblr
>shock images and /b/ posting
If anyone has pictures from the Friday MLP shoot I'd appreciate a link. I hate trying to find pictures of myself and nothing comes up.
>>9017779
Bless. I'm mainly looking for my Nico cosplay (and the constellation outfits are always gorgeous)
>>9017626
There was an unofficial im@s meetup on friday night
>>9017827
Oh you were the Rarity I kept seeing around. I think you mistook me for someone or I just couldn't hear you say the words /cgl/
>>9017554
Ah, I took a pic of you two! Great cosplay ^_^
>>9017824
A lot of glue, several layers of foam, some tears, and thinner craft foam on the outside. I dropped the ball and had to make them in about a week.
Curious if anyone got a pic of me in my Fallout cosplay from Friday. I was the vault dweller with the ushanka hat and the bladed bat prop.
>>9017836
I asked if you were from the thread. You may have not heard me clearly and I thought I mistook you for a normie. Whoops.
>>9017855
I took a picture with this guy! I shoulda took one with the Medic, IIRC Asian Medic, Even had the bird on the shoulder. No spys. Saw 2 heavy's, I would love to get a pic with an actual black demo-man.
Hentarmageddon head panelist here. Was missing in action this year, how'd my people do?
I'll be back with Friday's photos in a bit
>>9017867
I thought you died? They made us record a farewell message for you.
Now only if the Photos app doesnt crash I can look at the Rich HDR images on my phone. Many of them are from the Idol photoshoot.
>>9017882
Ha, oh wow, I couldn't tell what the hell you all were saying but it made my heart soar/hurt at the same time. Hope you enjoyed yourselves!
Anyone show up at the OPM photoshoots?
>>9017918
I was there. Waiting for a friend to post his sets since I didn't have my phone at the time. I want to befriend that one Genos with the black arms that lit up. Not the LED strips but the lights that dimmed at intervals.
>>9017772
Sup Gappy. We very briefly played SF 5 and I shilled to you
Playing Gilty makes me realize I need to practice more
McD's here.
Had a pretty fun Saturday, aside from the minor delay waiting for the rave it appeared everything went down pretty well, which is rare for larger cons.
Also, that merch hall was gigantic.
>>9017914
Did anything BIG happen at ACEN?
Like any fights? people getting arrested or people getting taken to Ambulances or anything?
>tfw you will never be this cute
>>9017933
HHHHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGG
>>9017877
What did you shill to me? Help me remember you.
>>9017932
I saw some cop cars yesterday and someone mentioned a heart attack
>>9017944
meant to ask >>9017929
>>9017944
I remember you asking people to praise the sun, that was pretty fun.
>>9017624
Survived my 8 hour drive. I bought way more prints than I was expecting. I can't wait to get these framed.
I'm sick a fuck, guys. I think I have strep. I'm sorry to everyone. On the other hand, the Japanese guy from the PonyCan booth gave me their Kuromukuro poster and I'm incredibly flattered since nobody else got posters from them.
I've met up with my mom every year of ACen I've gone to and I feel like such a child with her around, but I love her and she likes to buy me stuff, so it's okay in the end.
>>9017949
I'm not the solaire, just posting pics I took of everyone. That guy must've been fun
tfw you're pretty sure you caused the con plague...sorry my dudes..
>>9017951
The pony canyon guys were great, I really enjoyed their booth.
>>9017957
Dude...weak. I missed today because I felt too sick to go.
Anyone else feel like this is gonna be their last ACEN?
It was actually better than the last few years but I just feel so disconnected from the younger attendees and the overpriced merchandise...
>>9017948
one of the panels. Was just taking a break and was wearing a black Jacket. You were playing Rashid and I picked Alex if I remember
>>9017973
I only go because I get in for free, but yeah unless I get a room next year, I think I'm done. I feel like I've been hit by a truck and I just don't feel like putting myself through that again next year unless I can crash in a room and nap like the sad old fuck I am.
>>9017973
Yes but for different reasons. I'm branching out and trying new cons with hopefully better everything, staff included.
>>9017990
I sort of remember you. I think you stomped me.
We can play more online if you like
>>9018002

>>9017997
I'm not that tired of cons yet, but I know that feeling. I've never felt as drained as I have been just walking through the crowds than I have this year.
>>9017998
I'm actually planning on going to Anime Midwest because I've heard its much better than ACEN and to test if I am just tired of ACEN's garbage or cons in general.
Also that picture made me kek out loud.
>>9017772
Mangumin is a legend.
>>9018014
I wish I was going to Anime Midwest. They're sharing the space with Exxxotica this year so the worlds of weebs and sluts will combine to form a sort of, super cringe.
>>9018004
http://steamcommunity.com/id/one_combo_man/ isn't bringing me anything and searching gave me a taiwanese profile with no SF history and a private one
>>9018021
ah should have clarified. my steam name is baked_goods_king while my fighter ID on the capcom network is one_combo_man
>>9018022
found ya, looking forward to matches.
I might not be available this week depending on the network of the Texas house I'm vacationing in but feel free to ping me
>>9018027
Did anyone get Boku no Hero Academia pictures?
Heard there was an unofficial shoot for it.
I only got pictures of an Uraraka and a cute Tsuyu.
Anyone get im@s pics? From shoot or hall
>>9018032
got this one of Deku while waiting in the endless eternity known as the taco food truck
Am I going senile or was this the best year so far?
>>9018049
it was my first year, and I didn't get to do much, but the rave was the best of the dozen or so cons I've attended.
>>9018044
Thanks Anon, I only managed to see him partially out of costume.
any chance anyone got a shot of me as nyx from fire emblem?
>>9017676
What the hell? I was looking for boats all day every say and barely saw any. Last year I saw two destroyers with actual gins know their backs, tight as shit.
This was my first Acen. My home con is Ohayocon. Holy shit the level of difference between the cons. Acen was great even if I only made it up one day.
I cosplayed Madoka in her magical girl and a great artist in AA flagged me down and gave me a bottle of her Madoka inspired nail polish. It's basically the sweetest thing anyone has done for me at a con and more meaningful than any of the cosplay awards I've ever won.
I would love to do Acen again next year.
>>9018049
The lack of fire alarms may have made it good.
If anyone has pics of a Touhouvania Sakuya walking with a Tactical Clownpiece Friday/Tenshi with a Tactical Sakuya Saturday, post pics.
>>9018116
Different guy here, same reaction. I even went to the KanColle photoshoot and was vastly disappointed not even one shipgirl had riggings or guns.
>>9017826
I saw one more in the Hyatt but I was drunk and didn't wanna be a jag. Would have loved to see a Chris.
>>9018116
There was a Kongou that went up on during the Masquerade along with a Papi. I didnt see these cosplayers at all during the weekend so I'm hoping someone got pics of them both (mostly the kongou though because her gear looked cool)
tfw you took too many pics and have to edit them all to combat the shitty convention lighting...
>>9018131
I know right? Prinz Eugen is my boatfu but I wasn't expecting anyone to do her huge guns. It did suck because I was so impressed last year. Thanks for the pic, left before the T admiral showed up.
This guy made the shoot for me
>>9018092
Shoot, I should have stopped by there, I thought it'd be only their overpriced bds. Denki-gai was great.
>>9017679
Feels good to know all the work that went into that was appreciated.
Helped setup that party. Didn't know /cgl/ people were in attendance.
This ACen felt even more jackbooted thug about noise complaints than usually. Maybe I just had bad neighbors.
4chan thinks its spam but my facebook is claytonsomedude and may album should be public for acen.
Feel free to tag or friend whatever on my album.. I was the blonde hair model dude walking around with my pikachu getting pics with people.
>>9018230
You're a giant douche but at least you're friendly.
>>9018234
......why I am I a giant douche exactly?
>>9018255
Based solely on our friends in common, you're a douche.
>>9018270
....that makes no sense to me what so ever
>>9018271
Not >>9018270 but >>9018234
You walked around all con telling people you were staying in the Presidential Suite and you describe yourself as a blonde model.
It's not like you fucked my bitch or anything but dude you're a huge douche.
I still liked you because you were friendly so don't beat yourself up.
>>9018284
ummm because we were inviting people to come hang out with us we had a party there.....
Also I dont recall ever saying I was cool, nor do I think I am cool or better than anyone.....
Not sure why you liked me if you thought I was a douche in any kinda way. If you think im a bad guy in any kinda way you probably shouldnt talk to me. Have more respect for yourself than being fake I think.
>>9018296
Based on your reaction to someone calling you a douche I can declare you a douche.
Who walk walks around gloating about being a model? That's like Elliott roger level of creepy.
Like that one flannel hipster doofus that left in a huff because no girls were talking to him.
My group lold
>>9018296
Hey you asked. I'm not judging you beyond outside of how I felt meeting you. It boiled down to a complete lack of humility and a predator feeling.
That being said I thought you were a nice person outside of that.
Artemis Moon got tweeted by Viz. Seriously what's with con artists and the need to be right in the limelight.
>>9018301
I didnt gloat, I stated what I was. Ive had people come up to me before and know who I am and I didnt know them. Its not particularly bizarre just a fact. So who knows....Also just said I never claimed I was cool or better than anyone. And I dunno who you are referring to so the joke is lost on me.
>>9018308
lack... of... humility.... about what? Wtf lol ok well who ever this is, you can give me a clue as to who you are and I will try to make sure to never talk to you again so there will be no confusion lol
>>9018296
Reacting like this on an anonymous cantonese knitting forum makes you a douche, you douche.
>>9018322
No worries, I won't out your methodology of disarming introverted and impressional people with plushie pikachus while inviting them back to a room party to be intoxicated and cornered under the guise of cosplay photography.
Make sure to tag all your friends.

kek why're these statements so funny
you seem funny, let us beer together next year.
>>9018343
actually ive never told anyone to drink before, or get fucked up, and I dunno what this guise of photography thing is your talking about either. Actually I myself dont even drink as im sick and not allowed to. Or maybe you missed some of the scars from cancer etc all over my body and just totally assumed im a well... friendly douche with bad intentions it seems.
>>9018347
Beers are on me and I'm going to pressure you into drinking them.
>>9018351
Seriously, it's cool. I'm really not trying to upset you. It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm reading about hollow-core steel blade propellers because that's the kind of life I lead after con. So just go have fun and keep being friendly.

actually im gonna thank you. You know why? Ive been in and out of the hospital almost my entire life with life or death stuff. And every time I think that I might die, and there might be some asshole out there thinking the worst about others they dont know and out living me it makes me fucking sick. This is the kinda stuff that motivates me. So you know what, I want you to promise me as you go through out your life your cons, your hollow steel blade shit, if you ever get sick, cancer, whatever it maybe and see what its like to be dying in the hospital. I want you to think about that random dude that was friendly to you and you still thought he was a douche and shady. And I want you to go out and still be friendly to everyone you see no matter what despite the fact that you could still die, and theres no point of being nice to anyone anyway.
Good luck
>>9018402

Making a mystery box with a decorated box as its selling point was genius despite being a rip.

I figured mystery boxes were always just old stuff nobody wanted from previous years

Yeah seriously, I couldn't go two seconds without seeing one of those boxes. What the hell was in them?

If you're into the Patrick Bateman type.
Be careful not to end up in a crawl space.
>>9017812
If any other anons got my photo this weekend I would love to see it.
>>9018591
Nah. I'd rather float around and stare at someone that attractive not go after them. No harm in just being associates.
Speaking of, if anyone would like to keep in touch my email is [email protected].
>>9018590
Could be gintama maybe basedbin hair and clothing (alternate color maybe)

Hey gulls, I was Griffith on Saturday. If any of you happened to take a photo of me with a (very patient) Guts, please share! I'll post some hall photos I took in the meantime

its ok, no worries, you werent that bad. Ive had stalkers find out where i live, random people come up to me(even doctors)and grab dick etc before. Theres even some internet memes about me because of all the catfishing stuff. So im pretty use to it. It takes alot to weird me out you dont have to worry.
>>9018655
nope I just dont like people who judge others. Sadly im the kinda guy that use to protect the "nerd" kids in school they would get fun of. I think people need to take a look in the mirror before they judge others.
Was anyone else disappointed in Oregon Trail? Outside of my friend grabbing the cup of water and the one who went up drunk it didn't feel as good as last year.

Thanks for re-posting some of the Jojo pictures! I was the Kakayoin getting punched by the Dio on the left in >>9017796
Yeah the people hosting the shoot ran out of ideas and I think they kept suggesting "All Joestars" like 3 times. It was still pretty great though seeing everyone. Pucci was a bro
>>9018671
Oh shit. Best girl! I'm sad I missed her
>>9018677
They really fucked up by not fixing the full-screen issue. I only stayed for the first round of people. It felt like all of the panels I talked up and recommended fell flat.
>>9018702
Yeah. That happened with Hentarmageddon. Speaking of which did anyone go to that this year? Was it better than last year?
>>9018704
God bless you for making the ponies "real".
>>9018681
i was in the shoot and it was better than last year turn-out-wise but yeah the person running was too drunk to think of good prompts
that blue diego was so into it tho
>>9018704
Aforementioned missing in action head Hentarmageddon panelist here, also hoping to hear more about how it went. I worked my ass off on the video content and rode their asses on their powerpoint sections...
>>9018624
There was this one.
>>9018751
I missed you. The technical aspect of the powerpoint was very well done. There was a volume issue with the videos in general, but eventually people learned to be quieter so people in the back could hear.
Overall I was really disappointed. Last year was my first time going and I was blown away. But this year was really bland. No one stepped up to be the charismatic leader. The panelists were literally reading the powerpoint word for word even when points were left vague because someone was supposed to elaborate more. I kept hearing people behind me complaining that they had no idea what was going on or what certain types of hentai were at all even though they had just gone over them (poorly) in the powerpoint.
The energy was completely gone. There was one person handing out the group prizes which meant that giving the mass prizes away was really slow and torturous.
Big titties vs Bara titties was a really nice addition though. I hope I didn't rant too much.
Found and tagged some pictures of my friend and I. We were wandering around as silent hill nurses on saturday. I did the makeup for both of us. I think this is my favorite pic so far. I'm the one in back that's blurred slightly
>>9018797
Were you guys the ones doing the walk too? That was crazy good
>>9018803
Yep! That was us! Thanks. We were in two different videos and found a pyramid head all the way in the back of the vendor hall.
>tap his shoulder
>he fangirls
>puts on his helmet and we can barely move a foot without being bombed for photos
>get about halfway through the hall this way
>he has to bail to give his sister some keys
>still gets asked for photos while trying to get to the lobby
>my friend and i still getting photos like mad
Ngl, i know the outfit is overdone and i know i've used this same cosplay a few years now, but i'm always shocked at how few actually do the makeup for it.
>>9018803
Take that back those weren't us. My bad. Haha. Sorry.
>>9018803
We were walking like the nurses do but we tried to keep moving in high traffic areas so we didnt clog things up further or hit someone with our movements. But yea that picture isn't us, apologize on the multiple responses here.
>>9018791
>The panelists were literally reading the powerpoint word for word even when points were left vague because someone was supposed to elaborate more.
Agh, that one chaps my ass. We didn't get many chances to actually go through the powerpoint together in person this year. I've got some improv training so I'm comfortable expanding on smaller bullet points, I guess they needed some more practice.
>There was one person handing out the group prizes which meant that giving the mass prizes away was really slow and torturous.
Damn it. We should've gone with stickers again, at least you can safely throw them at people en masse (pretty sure the dinosaurs could blind somebody). Glad you liked the titties game though!
And no you didn't rant too much, I really appreciate the feedback. I'll be back next year and me and the crew'll have more time to work on it together beforehand.

>i know i've used this same cosplay a few years now
It's ok because you always look amazing. I got a friend who does the same thing and never improves. Same clothes, no wig, and never any make up or contacts. You on the other hand look like actual actors.

While we're talking about panels, how was Hentai Hell?
Anyone get to meet Dan Green at waifu wars?

Last year's had more energy, I think it was Saturday night not Friday and a few very enthusiastic drunk individuals riled everyone up.
I was thinking about trying IRT next year, are there benefits like free parking or no?
