I went to Otakon and all I got...

[Coltess]

Ehm... I do believe if you were to fire this weapon using a real cartridge, you would end up hurting yourself more than anyone else.
Look at the alignment between the barrel and the firing chamber. There is no way for the bullet to get from the chamber (which is at the top of cylinder) to the barrel (which is at the bottom of the cylinder)! Pull the trigger and the gun will explode in your face.

Of course I could be missing something since I absolutely nothing about whatever it is you are discussing

[Firia]

the bullet in Vash's gun is fired through the bottom cylinder. ^_^
The top area is for some nifty power thingy that makes angel arms and blows up citys. ^_^

[Ichyro]

Funny how Vash waited for Knives for an entire YEAR, outside the crashed ship..

Then what Knives said. ^_^

"You shot me...YOU SHOT ME?"

And starts rambling on. He hurt so many, and never was hurt till then.

Then I think the firing hammer needs to relocated. Seems to hit the top chamber from where I'm sitting

[Firia]

~I~ never said it can fire real bullets. I just know how it fires; from the bottom of the chamber. ^_^

[Firia]

But yes, the coat? Only for about $350 american...

I'm sorry, it's $600 ^_^;;

[Tacz]

Id pay 600 for a Vash coat.

If I had 600 dollars.

Yes, Im just that irresponsable.

[Tacz]

How much would people pay for a lifesize toy Wolfwoods gun?

Airsoft version would be even better =D

[Tir_McDohl]

Well, managed to find two more pictures of me from Otakon...I must have had a few hundred pictures taken of me(not exaggerating), and this is all I've found? ...makes me wonder what those other pictures are being used for... Anyway, I hope this works since it's off-site and all.

Sorry for the size in advance.


That was near the end of that costume's life...and it shows. The thing took a real beating(see next picture for an example). Only good things about this picture..it shows off my white/gray streak, and it shows my shoes, which is hilarious if you think about Jesus wearing Airwalks. I've had them for about 6 years now...yes, they last that long.




Now this one I remember, obviously. Refuse a hug, and you'll pay for it later in a massive uber ninja stealth glomp. Who's complaining though? She was pretty cute.

[Tir_McDohl]

Oh yes, and for those who've seen Chobits...I now present the best Chii cosplay EVER.

[Ichyro]

Yeah Tir, you seem to be a mini celeb.


I asked around to ones who went and they heard or saw the Jesus Dude.

Thats....uber Chii cosplay.

[Nexeus]

Wait, lemme see if I get this straight, some random chick just decied to glomp on you?

[Tir_McDohl]

Well, almost...I got a lot of those, but this one actually has a bit more history. It's a common practice at cons to offer free hugs, and at Otakon it's usually done with signs. Now, I'm a bit weary of giving hugs, but I have no problem with them as long as someone else initiates it...

All con long, I was getting random glomps(a few by guys...), but I made sure they started it. Three girls demanded that Jesus hug them, and I told them I didn't give hugs, but took them...they kind of whined a bit, but seemed to accept it...at least 10 hours later, I hear "JESUS!!!" followed by rapid footsteps...then I was glomped. Uber ninja stealth glomping.

Oh, and as far as the mini celeb...I'm nowhere near the likes of Cid(who ranted like Dennis Leary) or the recently dubbed "Card Captor Brother". Oh well, I got glomps, and that's all that matters.

[Firia]

If I ever cosplay (and go to a con) I'm definately going as Vash. Definately. I just hope all the glomps I get don't ruin my coat. ^_^

(I'm a tall gal. I don't think I should give out glomps just because I'd destroy people by doing that. )

Personally, I'd not glomp because of the Vash thing...the tallness would be a reason TO glomp.

I'd just be too afraid someone would snap a picture and have me glomping someone that is apparently Vash the Stampede. Then I'd have to do a little suicide. Or a lot.

But all my future cosplays will be judged on how glompable they are... Right now I'm thinking Laguna and/or McDohl...

Straighten my hair a bit and I'm perfect for Laguna, and I'd be a good "older" version of him thanks to the gray streak. Also, given the number of Selphies(the first fangirl ever to be IN an rpg!) that are always at Otakon, glomping would be pretty assured at some point...not to mention camera shoots of Laguna, with a leg cramp, limping away from a glomping Selphie.

McDohl would be mostly unknown, as even people who played Suikoden 3 may not recognize him(or mistake him for the Fire Hero). I have yet to see a Kasumi(from Suikoden) there yet...so glomping is rather questionable. Though, most female Suikoden fans seem to agree that McDohl's the most glompable hero in Suikoden(well, besides Chris, but she's a girl, so she doesn't count). Bad part would be if someone went as Gremio... Nrrggh...

[Firia]

the tallness would be a reason TO glomp.

But I'm 5'11" of pure destruction!
Sure I don't weigh to much, but still, if I glomp anyone, they're gonna take a dive. And probably give them more than just a Laguna leg cramp.

I know a few local friends that would glomp me if I was Vash the Stampede. cause Vashy is yummy.

Taller than Meee.

If I see you or others at Otakon, may Orson (If I can cosplay him in time, look at the avatar or Record of Lodoss War, I can pull him off well now, more if I get in great shape) Glomp ya?

[Tir_McDohl]

First, I'm 5'11", and can handle women bigger than me(they seem...drawn to me ;.; ). You probably wouldn't be too difficult a challenge.

Second, no Orson will ever glomp me.

Though, are you going as the OVA or TV version of Orson? Either way...you WILL get glomped by at least one Shiris. Trust me, there's always a Shiris. ...ok, if you can get her off of Parn, that is.

Though, nothing's funnier than a white(very VERY white) person cosplaying a Drow...we had one this year and I couldn't figure for about 5 minutes that she was supposed to be Pirotess even though she was standing with the other Lodoss people. One Slayn, though...he had actual runes and whatnot carved into his staff. VERY cool looking.

[Ichyro]

I wanted to glomp Firia, silly Jesus.



I am going mostly as the OAV series Orson, I need to get my picture up, but I think personally and have been told I could do him.

-_-

I'll whup any parns ass...damn naive paladin.

But that'll be great to hear, I can pull Orson Off well (Serious but also funny), but being glomped will be a great thing to hear.


Best Pirotess I've seen so far...


http://fleur-de-lys.net/costumes/pirotess.html

[Tir_McDohl]

Cool, OAV version is probably the better one to do. Though, I wouldn't call Parn a paladin...especially in the TV version.

And the Pirotess that was at Otakon this year was MUCH whiter...hell, she was whiter than the Deedlit they had.

I'm just fighting the urge to dye my hair white and go as Ilpallazo from Excel Saga..that'd be pure 24 karot gold glompage right there.

I'd even rig up a cd player in his shoulderpads to play his theme song...
