Just got back from ICON, a video game/ anime convention I went to. Now, I went as Dean the gamer, not as Dean the hardcore Otaku, because when it comes down to it, the anime section is lacking to say in the least. However, this did not prevent tons of people from cosplaying, sadly, they all lacked originality. Out of everyone I saw, the majority were either Narutards or Ichigo from Bleach. I did see someone who was dressed as Ryoga, who, ironically enough, was lost.(he was trying to find the video game building) I kicked ass in the brawl tournament, but lost in the finals, so I just missed winning the prize. What scared me was the amount of old people there. By old people I mean like 60+ wearing cat ears and stuff like that. There was an animosity between the gamers and the cosplayers, and I really felt disgusted by like 99% of the cosplayers. After all, you can only see so much fail in so little time. In the end though, it was good fun, and I'll see if I can get some pics uploaded to show you.
