Event Day

This year's C2AGE is special, for the first time, the event runs for three days. It was supposed to be superb to me.

I had actually planned to go all three days but on the very same Sunday, there was a scout activity I wanted to go to so I narrow it down to Friday and Saturday. But then my dad did not want to drive me down to Tropicana City Mall on Friday so I only went on Saturday. But I have class on Saturday, so I only went in the afternoon.

Saturday morning I woke up, got dressed and headed for college. I was excited and I couldn't wait for class to end. I was going to meet her so the more I wanted to class to end. Class went by boringly.

At 1pm, class was finally over. I rushed out to the bus station outside Sunway Pyramid to catch the bus down to Kelana Jaya. If I could reach KJ in time, I would catch the free shuttle to Tropicana City Mall at 1.30pm. Fortunately I got there in time, caught the shuttle and reached the mall.

She had informed me that she went to KDU after spending some time in C2AGE to see MGCC. So I waited for her to come back by looking for Antho, Cheryl, Misaki and Greg. Cheryl, Misaki and Greg were cosplaying Kingdom Hearts while Antho was just the cameraman. I was supposed to join them as a group but because of bad time arrangement I didn't get my measurements done for my Organization XIII cloak and also because of Saturday class. After chilling with them for awhile, I went back to meet up with her at Ninja Joe because I haven't had lunch yet and I didn't know what I want to eat and I only had Ninja Joe once in my whole life, so this makes the second.

Silly me, I thought I was fast enough and I went to the side entrance to wait for her. Turned out she got back faster than I had expected and was waiting for me at Ninja Joe already. After grabbing my bite and chatting with her, we went back up to the event because I didn't get a good look around when I got there. I was fascinated by the huge border-less television showing the DotA2 competition (Yes, I got hooked to DotA2 recently because I got the beta key). I bought a J-Rock Tamashii t-shirt and that was it. It was the end. There was nothing much to see because the whole event area was taken up by commercial goods (anime DVDs, anime merchandise, anime bla bla bla that I won't buy, etc.) and the games section. It's so compressed that the doujin booths are clumped together like sardines in a can.

There was nothing to see. I think it was because of the class I had earlier in the morning and the bad arrangement this year, I lost my enthusiasm for the event. Knowing that Kin Yen and Ang Yu are around, we asked them if they wanna go have a look at MGCC at KDU. After some hesitation, we headed there.

Earlier Kuui had asked me to see MGCC so I guess I had kept my promise? We met up with Kuui but turns out we were there late. The event ends at 6pm and it was closing in to closing time. Kuui came to get us after I called him and he lead us to the event hall. The event was small and it was more focused to the western culture of comics and games. She told me that when she was here earlier, Alodia was seeing fans. I was shocked because, a famous cosplayer is at a game convention instead of an anime convention? I only know Alodia by name anyway, not much of a fan so it didn't bother me much. I went around seeing the booths. Nothing much caught my attention. The thing that sure caught my attention (and pretty much everyone else with me) was the Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 game going on. It's free to play so Kin Yen and I got in line and waited for our turn.

She had to go home so she left. Anyway, Kin Yen and I waited for our turn but here's the juicy part. Some kid brat (about the age of 7?) was playing the game with some adult. Obviously the adult was winning like apple juice. I don't know what winning like apple juice is like but stick with that. After two games, the adult passes the console to the next person, a friend or brother or minion or gofer of the kid brat (around the same age as the kid imbecile?). The friend/brother/minion/gofer's body language was easy to read, he waited too long to want to play and he doesn't wanna stay here any longer. The friend/brother/minion/gofer/poor soul played the game without any enthusiasm. He kept getting owned over and over and over again by the kid imbecile. And that kid imbecile kept on his over-excited reactions using the same characters over and over again (Iron Man, Nova and Hulk or Ghost Rider). What made me even more annoyed is that this is freaking Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3! Which part of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 do they not understand?! The both of them keep using Marvel characters only! The same ones over and over! This is not Marvel vs Marvel! It's Marvel vs Capcom! Use Capcom characters puny imbeciles! Anyway, after five rounds, the friend/brother/minion/gofer/poor soul got fed up and put down the console. Kin Yen and I thought, "Okay! It's our turn!", but no~ The kid scum grabbed the console and passed it to a baby! A freaking baby! Like 3 or 4 years old! Or 5! The baby didn't know what buttons to press and started crying at the character select screen! I was going berserk in my head! I was wanted to grab the kid scum's head and holler in his face, "LET ME SHOW YOU ULTIMATE MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3!!!"and do a Senretsukyaku. Okay, that was a little mean. I just wanted to do a Shichisei Ranka. The kid scum got the baby to leave and the friend/brother/minion/gofer/poor soul/slave to play with him again. Kin Yen got impatient from the kid dunce and spoke up. An adult watching the game helped him out and talked the kid degenerate. He finally left. Bless the stupidity of my youngest sister!

Kin Yen and I got down to play. But crap. The last time I played MvC3 was on Xbox. I don't know how to play it on PS3! Anyway, we had fun (I finally got to use Phoenix Wright! So happy! Too bad I forgot to use Frank West...). It lasted only 3 rounds because the event was closing and time was up.

And that ends the event and this post.
