*Omigoshomigoshomigosh... I STILL can't believe I'm here!*
* M.E.G.A... the Massive Expo for Gaming in America... the MECCA for Geeks, Hackers, and L33t gamers alike... or at least for those of us who couldn't make it to E-3. I've been up since before dawn, prepping and re-prepping, making sure that I have everything I need before heading out. I'm now standing in line, semi-patiently waiting as I re-check everything for the 3rd or 5th time, ready to begin this nerdy pilgrimage to begin.*
*I'm so wound up I am practically squeeing here!*
*Question is where do I want to start? I do have detailed floor-plans illustrating where everyone is at.... do I do this efficiently or do I make a B-line for the 360 to see what sweet gamage they'll be giving us? OOOH... Microsoft's also got some new apps they're ready to...*
*... wait... what?*
" No... we can't just upload to all of this stuff without buying it first ... WTF??? We can't do THAT! What do you think this is... Grand Theft Auto!? Why? WHY?!? omg... Well Duh... we're the GOOD GUYS here."
* Not like I'm really one to complain about this, but... man Kanti can be SO melodramatic sometimes... not the kinda 'tude I'd expect from a Guyver suit. Well not that you really know what a Guyver Suit would be thinking in it's down time... or when it's ripping monsters in half... they never explored the weapons point of view in there... or in any of that genera. It's all centered around the whiney teenage pilots as they stop whining and grow up*
* You'd think the girl talking to herself would get some odd looks, but aside from the fact that I have congregated myself among fellow nerds... I have my headset on. For all anyone knows I'm talking to someone over the phone, and not having a semi-telepathic conversation with my Guyver suit.*
* wait... where was I? Oh right, spazzing over the con.*
* I DO have everything... Right? It's not like I've been re-checking it incessantly. Pre-paid Con-pass? Check. Official Hetalia wallet containing 500 US dollars? Check. Fashionably stylish Ash Ketchum baseball cap? Check. Cell-charm adorned backpack containing PC... Check. Guyver suit? Well DUH. It's not like I could be talking to him if I didn't...*
"What? No... no there's no way I'd forget.... What?? NO! I wasn't planning on ditching you or anything it's... oh wait, the lines moving!"
* FINALLY! The con is starting! The rabid Fan-boys and Fan-girls can rejoice as we pile in to the convention center and get a chance to look over all of the goodies! The games, the movies, the Tech, the Spartans...*
* OH! We have cos-players! Cool! Spartans, Elite soldiers from the Halo franchise. Man these guys have really gone all out... perfect replica's of the soldiers body armor and everything. Not a single imperfection in their A testament to the methodical hard-work of an obsessive-compulsive nerd's mind.*
*Waitasec.... why do I smell strawberries?*
* Oh well, can't worry about that right now... on with the convention! The first few booths fly by... nothing peaking our interest any until we get down a ways, like all the way to the nosebleeds. OMG... they have Robotech cell charms! OH they would be such a wonderful addition to my collection! I look up but... nobodies there. Srsly? This guy has had all morning to goof off and now he takes off. I'm almost kinda tempted to not buy this!*
" No kanti... I didn't mean steal it..."
* Wouldn't you know it... I fumble on the goal line... the little trinket slipping out of my fingers and bouncing down underneath the table.*
"Quiet you..."
* I deadpanly grumble as I get down, crawling under the sheet to pick it back up. Man it bounced far. I sure hope that guy doesn't show back up right now because this would be really embarrassing! Finally! I got it, when all of a sudden a loud noise blasts through the convention center, the surprise of which causes me to slam my head up on the table. I crawl out on the dealer side... peeking my head over.*
* You've gotta be kidding me*
* Those Spartans I talked about? Yeah... they just whipped out Machine guns, M-16's if Call of Duty serves me right, and are presently herding everyone to the center stage. They remain silent, letting their guns and brute force to the talking for them. Due to my position they didn't see me... letting me watch, and listen, as some know-it-all sounding cackling echoes over the loudspeaker's. The voice instructs them to gather round and give her a round of applause... before the skylight opens, and this pigtailed white girl in this AWFUL pink outfit comes repelling down to the stage on a zip-line that... wait...*
* I tap my phone-bud to get my scouter out and zoom in...*
*is that licorice?*
*BLACK Licorice?*
*Ewww.... I don't know what's more disgusting... black licorice or that HORRIBLE Pink-striped flash-dance outfit she's got on.*
* yuck... yuck...yuck...*
* I didn't wait around to listen to any pretentious monologue to duck down and slip under one of the booths... not that I really HAD to with the candy-striper broadcasting her innate superiority over the loudspeakers. I couldn't really worry about that right now... I had to find myself a phone-booth. Someplace secluded so me n Kanti an upgrade and...*
" Yes Kanti... it's Pwnage time."
* Finally, I spy the perfect outlet. One of the speaker booths just out of sight is all tore apart, the inner housing being taken out for maintenance. More than enough room for me to safely and comfortably guyver-up... then we can teach this con-disrupting, black-licorice liking, long-winded fashion nightmare a couple of hard lessons....*
*... NOBODY hijacks my Con and gets away with it!*
