Ok, let me first introduce you to what
MegaCon is: Mega Convention (read: giant nerd fest). It's held every year in the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. They have something there for just about everyone: comics, manga, anime, movies, artists, collector's items (action figures, figurines, etc...), video games, swords, dice, clothing, and plenty of miscellaneous stuff. One of the things you'll also notice before you even get in is that there is a lot of cosplay; there's even a contest for it! Now that you're aware of the awesomeness of this convention, I took plenty of pics below for you to see what it's like.
Note: any times are GMT-5.
My friends and I left my house at about 09:30 for the Convention Center. As we got closer, the traffic stopped moving, so we just walked the rest of the way.
We eventually got bored of all the walking and walked the wrong way on the moving sidewalks. xD
Oh, look! We're inside the building!
We arrived around 12:00 and got lost inside the building. After several minutes, we finally reached our destination: Hall D...almost. I was in a group of three people; one had an advance ticket, but the other and I had to wait about an hour in line.
Once we were finally in, the first thing I took a picture, of course, was cosplay!
We started exploring and found some cool shirts and messenger bags.
Next we come across the booth of a professional model, cosplayer, and costume designer: Yaya Han. She dressed up as Scarlet Witch for MegaCon.
She even let me get a pic in with her!
Further on, I found some awesome looking Legend of Zelda posters.
There's always plenty of blades being sold.
Oh, look! It's Link! I didn't see any Zelda's, though.
There were plenty of furries there!
There were some cool Lego creations, including Yoda!
Dark Helmet and four assholes were there!
Wow, if there's a companion cube in Portal 2, I sure hope it looks like this!
Superman even showed up! His eyes are eerily blue...
I was almost killed by some girls from Soul Calibur! :O
I'm sure you recognize Cortona on the left. I'm not quite sure who's on the right, though.
You've gotta catch them all...in the pokècar!
I only escaped these
Klingons by an act of mercy!
Krishna, maker of PC Weenies.
So i herd u liek them...
Thank goodness it's not a Yaoi paddle!
Someone from Avatar and Wolverine fight it out!
Someone outside let me borrow a Hollow mask and a Zanpakuto for this picture. My friend beside me has a finger blade on my neck, if you look closely.
This is the person that let me borrow the mask and sword. He goes by the name "meow", if I recall correctly.
This is me, with my new Tai Chi sword and Hamtaro in my other hand.
Well, that's it. I took many, many more pictures than this, but I'm not putting more than 200 pictures in a single post.
I hope you enjoyed the sights!
