When it comes to Conventions

I'm just going to be honest here, I love going to them. They are so much fun!

One of my hobbys is cosplaying, & I'm pretty good. I consider myself an amature at cosplaying, but I enjoy doing it.

At The Convention  <--- click the link and watch this video.

When it comes to conventions, I'm alot like Rarity. I try to choose a character and cosplay them to the best of my ability.

it's like I have a split personality. In RL I'm shy and seem to be really stand offish, I hate crowds. AT conventions it's a different story. I cosplay, I take pictures of other cosplayers, and just take in the experience.

Saturday was the 2013 Chico MiniCon and it felt like it lived up to its name. It was a Miniature Con and my roomie and I cosplayed as Diego Armando and Phoenix Wright

OBJECTION!!!



Lizzie as Diego Armando/Godot
Me as Phoenix Wright
Mr. Godot, that coffee's really hot! -.-;;


This year it was held in the BMU and just that location alone helped it immensly. Last year MiniCon was in Tehama Hall, it was okay, but it felt crammed in classrooms. 

This year they had a karaokee room along with the game room, vendors, panels, and other things you find at conventions. 

I only went to the Cosplay Overdoing it panel, and what Adam (the panelist) said was right on the money.  my blog Purr About Cosplay is about my cosplaying tips and advice. 

One memory is Phoenix Wright singing "Man I feel like a Woman" It was in the Karaoke room & the song was one I knew, so...

a shy Phoenix Wright sang that song. 

More people cosplayed, and the con was a huge sucess.

Can't wait till Next Year.

KIFF:I'm Queen of the... wait, What?... & how does W101 inform the public and gain new wizards? 6/12

Just a note before we begin, the planet Antario was created by my Venture (writing class for dyslexic students) teacher & me way back in 1995. I'm using this as an example of a fictional nation. Also this blog will attempt to stay bias free.  Outside the Spiral More than likely you're fed up with the way things are run in RL (gamerspeak for real life) and think you can do better if you're handed the reins. Or maybe you just want to escape reality and create your own city/world/planet/universe where you are the ruler/deity/sovereign. There are games for that. On Facebook for example, the Zynga games of Pioneer Trail, Castleville, Cityville and any other *.Ville that the red dog logo'd company can come up with, allow the player to create their own virtual "Homestead" (Pioneer Trail), "Kingdom" (Castleville), "City" (Cityville) where with the help of free gifts from neighbors and the friendly NPCs giving you quests to advance the st...

KIFF: gamers can be game-changers, and safety first young wizard 5/12

Just a side note before we begin, any entries that have KIFF: as the first word are part of Keeping it Family Friendly.  This week we'll be in and out of the Spiral. Outside the Spiral Gamers are able to help scientists come up with cures for cancer... there is a game called Foldit  where gamers can use their visual spatial skills, honed by many hours of gaming, to fold proteins. Since diseases and a slew of other organic stuff is made up of protiens, one tiny change in the structure of the protien could alter the molecule and change a disease into a cure. you have to download the client to start playing though. (for more detail please click on the word Foldit, it will take you to the website)   Last year, the horrible earthquake and tsunami attacked Japan. The Zynga game Farmville let you plant Daikon radishes on your farms. Each daikon planted raised money to help the Nihon-jin (Japanese people) it was part of the Japan Earthquake relief event  (n...

KIFF: charting your wizard's history is as easy as dipity dopity do. 3/12

Disclaimer: Kingsisle and Dipity.com are not affiliated with each other. This week we won't focus as much on the game play of Wizard101 but on at least one way to write your character's biography. Wizard101 doesn't require its players to keep bios on their characters. It's a children's card game based game after all. Kids generally don't like to have to keep time-lines or journals on virtual characters. One website that could help is  http://www.dipity.com/   Dipity lets users create timelines about absolutely anything. The dates range from 9999BC to 9999 AD You just input the date an event happened, and any video/pictures that go along with that event. It's similar to the time-line on Facebook. For example, if I were to create a timeline of my first wizard Jessica Starweilder, lvl 70 Storm. event #1: Started playing Wizard101. event #2: Jessica Starweilder is born...  I would keep adding events pertainent to that wrizard's life. The mos...
