K-on! Houkago Live!!

More K-on stuff. Previously, was the anime. Today, would be on the K-on game! Exclusive only for the psp console, so those without psp.........sadly you wont be able to play it. The game focuses mainly on the attraction point of the anime, the songs!!! However, it only covers all the songs from season 1 and the additional of several other songs from the members, that were not showcased in the anime. All-time favourites like 'No, Thank you!' and 'Utauyo!!Miracle' etc. would not be present. Simply put, season 2 songs would not be in the game . This game was released in late 2010, right after season 2 finish broadcasting. For those who have play 'Project Diva', you will find it pretty dam similar to this game. For those who didnt, dont worry i will explain the details later on in the post. In my opinion, a really fun and addictive game!

Gamefaqs rating : 8.5/10
My rating : 8.5/10

Goods : Simple and fun gameplay, decent number of playable songs, 5 different tunes for every single song (providing fans more choices for every song), features adapted from the anime (Mio's being left-handed etc.)

Bads : Only available in the Japanese version (Those do not know japanese are at a disadvantage etc.), ridiculous flow of notes in certain songs (either too fast or too slow etc.)

Gameplay wise, its awesome! Its really simple, following the theory 'Press inputs accordingly to what you see'. Yeah, i would say its 100% based on your eyes-fingers coordination. It may be difficult in the beginning, but actually it is very easy to adapt once you get the hang of it. Music games always take on the trend 'Follow the rhythm', this game is no exception. Songs are played according to their rhythm/beats, what the player has to do is just to play along with it, get used to it. It may sound complicated, but in fact its actually really easy once you get the hang of the game.
Songs!!! At the start, you will only have like 4-5 songs to play. Dont fear, thats not all. Songs are to be unlocked along the way, so yeah just keep playing!! As you keep advancing, unlocking more songs, the difficulty is raised. This can be easy noticed by the number of stars of the song for each character. The more the stars, the harder the difficulty. Overall, decent number of songs. You will also realise that almost half of it, were not showcased in the anime. Dont be afraid, give all the songs a try, you will tend to love at least some of it!
*Difficulty is also based on the modes. There are 2 modes, normal and hard.

The thing that differentiates this game from other music games, is the presence of the different tunes for every single song. This game offer 5 different tunes for every song, since there are 5 members in the light music club.

Let me state an example....

-Given that you choose the song 'Cagayake girls', you could then select 1 out of the 5 different tunes

-These 5 tunes would be Lead guitar(Yui), Rhythm guitar(Azusa), Drums(Ritsu), Bass(Mio), Keyboard(Tsumugi).

-Selecting any one of them would enable you to play their parts. For example, if you choose Ritsu, you will get to play the drums part of the song. If you choose Mio, you will get to play the bass part of the song. That goes the same for the rest of them.

This provides a more fun experience for the players rather than just playing only 1 fixed tune for every single song. This is probably the main attraction of the game.

Perhaps just a random fact, but i will still say it. I am pretty surprise they put in features from the anime. For example, Mio being left handed. In the game, her tunes are also played mainly left-handed, most of the notes for her tunes could only be inputted with the D-pad. Yeah, so basically you are playing left-handed for Mio's tunes as well. Pretty cool eh...........not when you play her hard tunes!

Other than just the gameplay that attracts fans, there are also other features from the game. For example, the costumes. At the start, the only available costume would be school uniforms. Just keep playing, and you will unlock more costumes along the way, like the maid costumes and casual costumes etc. A encouraging point that keeps you playing! There are more other features, but i did not know how to get access to them, given it is in Japanese. Those who know japanese, good for you. Those who dont, you can explore if you want.

Now, the flaws of the game. Pretty damn minor, but i will still mention it.

1. Japanese version only. Thats pretty damn sad, miss out certain features of the game as i dont understand the language. But still, the main feature are the playable songs. Its easily accessible at least, so i guess i am fine with it.

2. For certain songs, flow of notes are just plain ridiculous. Either too dam fast or too dam slow. To me, slow notes flow is still fine. However, fast notes flow is just WTF!! Some of you may find it okay, as you could adapt to the different kinds of flow, yeah good for you. For those who cant or are slow, good luck to you.

So yeah, thats about it for the review. This game is definitely worth a try, music gamers should never leave this out! Anyways, heard of rumors that the K-on game for season 2 will be released, but not anytime soon. Nothing is confirmed yet, so dont get your hopes up too high!

Have a nice day!

K-on!! Season 2

Relaying from my previous post, here comes season 2. You guys should already had figured out while watching season 1, there arent any solid plot or whatsoever. K-on! is just all about characters having fun, and how music brought them together during their highschool period. Well....in season 2, its more or less the same, just some minor differences in humor and stuff. Season 2 was released in early 2010, with a total of 26 episodes.
In my opinion.....
- Season 1, 70% comedy and 30% friendship.
- Season 2, 40% comedy and 60% friendship.
This will be the difference i would list if any of you were to ask me what is the factor that differentiates season 1 from its sequel.

My rating : 7.8/10

In season 2, these girls begin their final year of highschool. They would still be doing their usual stuff, having teatimes and hangouts etc. Nothing much a change in their story from the 1st season, maybe a few minor changes. Like the addition of the underclassman, Azusa Nakano into the group, which adds on to the fun and activities these girls would gonna have. Season 2, focuses more on friendship bonding of the girls other than humor, thats what i think at least. And of course, expect more great songs to be revealed!

K-on, as a whole is awesome. However, there is something about this anime that bugged me. Its just a personal view about this though.
1. Its about the timezone between the 2 seasons. In the 1st season, 2 years of highschool passes just like that in 13 episodes. In the 2nd season, the last year of highschool lasted for the entire 26 episodes. I wonder did Kyoto Animation did this on purpose or whatever reason, but yeah it just feels so weird watching the anime while having this thought on my mind.

Concluding of K-on as a whole, its a great production along with a huge fanbase! Personally, i prefer season 1 over its sequel. Reason is simple, season 1 is more funny. Season 2 is good as well, but just not as much humor as season 1. Anyways, K-on the movie will soon be release, date confirmed to be 3rd of december 2011, get hyped poppers!!
Opening songs, there are 2. First opening would be 'Go!Go!Maniac', by Aki Toyosaki. Second opening would be 'Utauyo!!Miracle', also by Aki Toyosaki. Both are great, prefer the 1st opening over the 2nd though.

K-on!

Yo people! First of all, let me apologize for myself being inactive, been having increased gaming/anime sessions, so yeah i kind of lost track of blog posting. But dont worry, since i have been rushing these sessions, do expect more reviews coming up! Anyways, lets move on to the topic of the day...........K-on!! Name of anime doesnt tell much, so what genre does K-on actually belong to?? Well, i would say neither a solid plot nor a lousy one, as its plot is so mild that many people would just considered it a 'free-roam' anime. Hey, dont misunderstood me yet, this anime is great. I would say its more towards to the "anyone's random everyday activities", to be exact......highschool lifestyle! Just imagine yourself attending school everyday ,doing your usual stuff (Hobbies/study/hang out with friends etc.). Thats what K-on is all about, everyday highschool lifestyle for the characters in the show! This anime was released in early 2009, there are 2 seasons. As usual, i will only be talking on season 1 in this post, season 2 in the next. 13 episodes for the 1st season. Great anime, and definitely a MUST-watch for any J-pop lovers!!

My rating : 8.3/10

Everything begins with the main character, Yui Hirasawa, one that just wishes to enjoy everyday without the need to worry about anything, basically one with no goal in life. She wakes up late on her 1st day of highschool, but still manages to make it on time, looking forward to what highschool is all about. Its was only when she knocked into 2 other freshmens, Ritsu and Mio, then she came to know them and about the disbanding of the light music club. The light music club would be disbanded if no one jions. Ritsu and Mio does not want the light music club to be disband, hence they take the lead to be the first to jion the club. It was only afterwards that they came to know Tsumugi, a freshman passing-by, and succeed in persuading her to jion the club. As you all might have already guessed, Yui jions the club as well, but for some lame reasons. That forms the light music club, hence it would not be disbanded.

Season 1 will be all about how these 4 girls spend their first 2 years of highschool together. Hanging out, performing, celebrating special days, going on vacations together etc. Its just how any students would spend their years of school life with friends. As the next badge of freshmen enter the highschool in the following year, do expect more people to jion in the fun of light music club!

There is really nothing much to talk about this anime, given that it is a really simple one. Dont get me wrong, this anime is simple yet awesome! Tired of action anime?? Take a break and watch this!!

Opening song is 'Cagayake girls', by the group 'Sakura Kou Keionbu'. Its great, pretty damn suitable for this anime, given the enthusiasm and liveliness of the girls. Thumbs up!

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (Character impressions part 3)

Monday 19 September 2011 00:47 Posted by desmondykw
, 0 comments

Here comes more Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3! Few days ago, 2 more characters were announced in the recent Tokyo Game Show. Who do you expected it to be?? I was freaking amazed myself, when i first saw the trailer. As it turns out to be Iron Fist and Vergil!!! Both of them were my most anticipated characters to be announced after the official addition of Strider and Ghost rider. As i thought game producers will always follow the phrase 'Leave the best for the last', and so i thought both of them will be released pretty dam late. I guess i was wrong. Anyway, some of you might disagree with me saying that Iron fist is being anticipated as a playable character in UMVC3, i will respect your opinions. Vergil anticipated in UMVC3...............HELL YEAHH!!!!! Probably the 1st most anticipated character to me among all the 12 new addition of characters! Guess i had get your hopes high by now, enough of me talking crap, lets get down to the real deal!

Starting with the marvel side first, here comes Iron fist! Never heard of this guy before, until i saw him in mvc3 Ryu's ending. My impression of him back then, a short-ranged combat fighter similar to Ryu. Impression of him now, a fighter with slightly longer range for fist fights. Possesses decent OTGs and certain techniques similar to Shehulk and Dormammu (Hitstun and skills-switching etc.) Probably a much better close-range fighter than the rest. In UMVC3, hes capable of changing the aura of his palms, granting him different strengths during the fight (Colours for his palms aura- pink/blue/yellow). Yeah, a really potential character to explore for extending combos.
Hes hyper's varies with the aura of his palms. For example, when his aura is yellow, his hyper would be similar to wolverine's berserker barrage, punishing the opponents across the screen, providing a wall bounce as well. When his aura is pink, his hyper would be some kind of pink hurricane, punishing anyone near him. Iron fist, possesses a level 3 hyper as well, similar to a falcon punch, but still pretty cool! Character design is all right. If your asking me whether do i look forward to using this guy, my reply would be a Yes! Potential characters everyday bitchess!!!
Iron Fist official trailer-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn8nNdaH2rk

Capcom's side. The real deal starts now, bringing to you, Vergil from devilmaycry3!!! I was so dam amazed when i saw him back then in UMVC3 leaked list. And now, his official trailer got released, adding even more excitement to the tension! Gameplay wise, hes fast with decent teleports and OTGs, pretty similar to dante and strider. Dont get me wrong, i am not saying hes just a clone. He has his own unique playstyle, fixing mostly everything with just his katana. Expect many fancy stuff with Vergil, another highly potential character. I would take that you all already know that dante got nerfed seriously bad in UMVC3, i could say that Vergil would be a very well good replacement for future combo madness!!

Vergil's hypers, there are 4. One of his hyper, which i think could only be done in air, which is when thousands of blades just spin and hit full screen. Another hyper, where blue blades could be seen circulating around Vergil upon execution, damaging anyone around him. He could also control this blades to be shot at the opponent, or remain at its position. A really powered hyper, in my opinion. A devil trigger hyper, is of course present, which i guess shares the same effect as dante's devil trigger, or perhaps better?? And finally, a level 3 hyper. Pretty ass stylish, perhaps the most stylish level 3 i have seen in the whole game! *Friends told me it may be a level 4 hyper, as the level 3 could only be executed in devil trigger mode, as seen in various gameplay of Vergil. THIS IS JUST AN ASSUMPTION. So yeah, nothing is confirmed yet, so lets just wait and see. Nonetheless, i will be anticipating Vergil when the game is released! Stylish much!!

That concludes part 3 of character impressions of Ulimate umvc3. 4 more characters to be announced. Let me make a wild guess, the next 2 characters to be released would be Nova and Frank West. Leaving Phoneix Wright and Rocket Raccoon for the finale. Anyone agree with me?? Anyway, thats just my wild guess, so for now, lets just wait for more news about characters and perhaps more modes!!!

Have a nice day!

Left 4 Dead

Thursday 15 September 2011 21:35 Posted by desmondykw
, 0 comments

Anyone who play shooting games, should at least heard of this game OR i should say anyone who love shooting games, would definitely play this! Judging from the title alone, anyone should have already guessed that it has something related to the dead, or should i say.......the Undead! One of the first zombie games that managed to made its debut into consoles. However, i played it on the PC since its free! Left 4 Dead, was released in late 2008 for the Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360. Thats also another reason why i played it on PC, since i do not have a Xbox. It is a first person shooter as well. Some of you might think, vampires made humans became undead. So do we expect vampires to be in the game??? The answer is NO, as the presence of undead is by another cause. However, there will be further-mutated zombies, making them more deadly than the common zombies. There is a story plot in the game, unlike those kinds of just mindless zombies-killing. A pretty decent game, in my opinion.

Gamefaqs rating : 8.5/10
My rating : 7.5/10
Estimated playtime : 5 hours +

Goods : Flexible and fun gameplay, creative zombies (Smoker etc.), different modes that provides a better experience rather than just campaigns

Bads : Unclear and rather plain story, kind of little weapons (melee/ranged etc.) Can be hectic (When being overwhelmed by zombies etc.)

For a change, this time i will begin with the plot. All takes place in Pennsylvania, a state in USA. The outbreak of a highly contagious virus, which can cause extreme aggresion and malfunctioning of the brain. It did not take long before the whole region was infected, leaving no traces of a healthy being. It was then 4 humans emerged from the crowd, appearing to be immune to the virus. They fought and resist the infection crowd, hoping to escape from this deadly apocalypse. The story goes as the 4 of them fought the infected crowd, constanly moving forward, all they could do was to survive!

*Its like your everyday zombie story, pretty common. But still, this provides the purpose of the game.

Gameplay, one word to describe...............FUN!! Bursting heads and mass melee-ing were never as fun in games as compared to this! It can be a very thrilling experience for anyone who first started this game. You, play as 1 of the survivors, the other 3 could either be AIs or human players. What you have to do, is just to blast your way through, survive and make it to the safe house. Sounds easy eh?? Its actually pretty easy until you raise the difficulty.

Gameplay is kind of flexible as well, as you can kill zombies in any creative way that you can think of. For example when dealing with a witch, you can throw a Molotov at her/Snipe from far or just spray like free. There is no fixed way to kill anything in the game, so be creative, kill zombies with style!

*Friendly fire is present in the game, a pretty good tool to pissed your friends off xD

Zombies......just walking-dead human beings only?? Nah, there are more. As mentioned above, there are further-mutated zombies rather than the common ones, who are far more dangerous, deadly and unpredictable! For example the Boomer, a obese zombie that spits decaying slime onto you that reduces your vision and attracts hordes of zombies. The other is the Smoker, one that possesses a long tongue to strangles and drags you towards itself. In my mind i was thinking, which fucking zombie has a fucking long tongue!?!? So yeah, variations in types of zombies are pretty innovative, which spice up the gameplay, rather than just fighting fools that just charge at you mindlessly!

The availability of other different modes, such as the cooperative campaign/versus and survival. Cooperative campaign is similar to Single-player campaign, however this time, all survivors are human players instead of AIs. Enjoy killing zombies with friends rather than dumb AIs! Versus mode, each team of up to 4 players, choosing either the zombie or human side, goal is to hunt down the opposite species! Survival mode, where 4 human players have to fan off the never-ending hordes of zombies, for as long as possible. Its a time challenge i would say, may sound stupid but actually its pretty dam fun!

*All these modes were played through my LAN experience with friends.

Games have its flaws too. Here are some of them.......

1. Unclear story, actually it does not really bother me. When i first play this game, i didn't know what was going on, all i know was to shoot the fuck out of zombies and make it to the next stage. However, that alone satisfy me and i didn't really give a shit about the story. All you need to know, is that the 4 survivors are trying to escape the apocalypse while facing the rest of the infected population. Its that simple!

2. Lack of variety of weapons. In the game, primary weapons would be just be your everyday shotgun/rifle/sniper etc. Pretty dam common for any shooting game. Do hope for weapons like the crossbow or ak-47 etc. Secondary weapons and grenades wise, are good. Crowbar/baseball bat/pipebomb........hell yeah!!!

3. Can be really messy, when the rate of large number of zombies rushing at you is higher than the rate you kill them. They will just start to overwhelm you, crowding around you, you totally cant move a shit! I would just say this applies mostly to survival mode.

Concluding everything that i have said, this game is good. A good start for anyone yet to play a zombie game. You guys might think, i am reviewing this now, so that means i am still playing it?? The answer is NO, i even stopped Left4dead 2 already, so yeah its pretty late for me to review this now. But still, for future gamers!

Tired of killing humans?? Zombies are your next menu!!!

Have a nice day!

Resistance 2

A greater plot with better in-game features than the previous, presenting Resistance 2! It is a sequel from the ending of Resistance: Fall of man. A followed-up story after Nathan Hale destroyed the Central Chimera Tower back in 'Fall of man'. It was not over, the Chimera's were still carrying on their operations, war was still going on, basically nothing major has changed. In Resistance 2 opening, Hale was seen mindlessly wandering in the snow until SRPA soldiers spotted him, and thus brought him in. Resistance 2, released in 2008, 2 years after the release of 'Fall of man'. Expect more alien action, new weapons etc. to be revealed as you advanced through the game. Several new features were added in (weapons etc.), old features were taken out (disappearance of health bars etc.), providing a newer experience for players to play and adapt in. Nonetheless, gameplay was still as great or i would say even better than its predecessor. The 2nd Chimera apocalypse was just about to begin......

Gamefaqs rating : 8.4/10
My rating : 8.5/10
Estimated playtime : 12-16 hours

Goods : More towards reality (limit on number of weapons acquired etc.), Clearer explanation of story (more cut-scenes, lesser talking etc.), better graphics, new weapons, challenging AIs, new online modes (Skirmish etc.)

Bads : Disappearance of health bars, Pretty long loading times, Online play allows 60 players in 1 match (Can be real hectic).

-As usual, lets begin with gameplay. Resistance 2 gameplay, i would say is as great as its predecessor. Tense shooting action as you exchange gunfire with incoming aliens, constanly prompting you to look out for the surroundings, keeping your mind in the game. Its definitely not a walk in the park, as AI aliens are as dilligent as they were in the 1st game (hiding behind blocks for cover etc.). Along with the increased number of alien types, the difficulty is raised. Different types of aliens would approach/attack you in different ways, which kinds of forces you to explore different ways to deal with the various incomings attacks. Thats a good thing in my opinion, which increases the intensity and excitement in the Single-player Campaign rather than just mindlessly mass firing of bullets.

-Resistance also moves from a previously empowered version to more of a balanced kind of game. This could be noticed from the limit they put on the number of weapons Hale is allowed to carried.

>Previously in 'Fall of man', Hale could carry as many guns/nades as possible.

>In Resistance 2, its limited, seems to me thats Insomniac's moving to being more realistic. Hale could now, only be able to carry at most 2 guns. Number of nades carriable is also limited.

People might dislike this change they made, however i am fine with it. In 'Fall of man', Hale is always seen moving around with just a primary weapon. Yeah, its fine that he may pull out another primary weapon from his coat. But it just seems weird, when he is able to pull out a Rocket Launcher, followed by a Carbine, and then a Sniping Rifle, along with a large number of grenades picked up along the way. Hes able to fit all these weapons in his coat/pockets, without even affecting his action and movement!?!? Unbelievable. Anyway, its fine if you might disagree with what i say, since it was just purely my opinion.

-Story-wise, its great! Solid plot, easy to understand, anyone should be able to grasp onto the storyline pretty fast once you adapts to the situation. Explanation of story is clear i would say, several cutscenes instead of words, are shown to visualise the situation to you. Yeah, i find this to be more effective in conveying the story to the players. Others might find words to be more effective. Well....self-opinions again.

-An improvement in graphics, higher definition which appeals more to players.

>In 'Fall of man', everything is mostly grey, feel with dust, destroyed and abandoned.

>In Resistance 2, i find the atmosphere slightly 'brighter'. I would mean air being less dusty and it feels like early in the morning.

But dont worry guys, the creepy feeling, the fear of Chimera's hunting you down is still there. Keep your heads up, never let your guard down!

-A major factor of shooting games, the weapons! Weapons that Resistance 2 have to offer are pretty unique and awesome. Examples would be a Magnum that shoots explosive shots. 'Marksman' that is similar to a sniper rifle that shoots multiple shots at a time. Grenades with special effects like releasing a flame web to eliminate hordes of aliens etc. All-time favourites like the Carbine and Bulleyes are still available to be used.

-Boss fights are epic! Let me do a comparison between dealing with bosses from both 'Fall of man' and Resistance 2.

>In 'Fall of man', most bosses are to be killed by just pure spraying of guns/launchers.

>In Resistance 2, its a more balanced fight between various bosses. Some bosses required to be killed by guns spraying. Others could be killed only by following specific instructions and do as you are being instructed.

-Moving on to multiplayer online, there are new modes like the Cooperative and Skirmish etc. Cooperative mode allows up to 8 players in a map. Objectives are to be met while facing hordes of aliens in the process. Skirmish mode allows up to 60 players in a map. Players are split up into groups of 5 to complete assigned objectives (Defending bases, hunting down targets etc.). Players can choose to be either on the human side or the Chimera side.

Basic online modes like Team deathmatch and Capturing bases are still available. Overall i would say Insomniac provides one hell of a great online feature. No lag, creative modes along with the ranking system!

-Now i will talk about the certain features that i am not really happy about it. The disappearance of health bars.

>In 'Fall of man', there are 4 yellow bars at the bottom left of the screen, indicating your health. Health capsules can be found all over the areas in order to recover lost health.

>In Resistance 2, health bars for Single-player Campaign are gone. This in turn, makes this game feels like COD, where hp will be recovered a while later when your out of enemies range.

Nonetheless, i still prefer the presence of health bars, which makes the game more challenging as full health can only be recovered once you find the capsules.

*There will be health bars for Online play, but they would not recover once depleted.

-Long loading times. I would not complain about long loading time for online since that depends on the number of players in the room. However, for offline play, loading times were still long. Yeah, i understand its because the scale is large thats why its takes time. But still i hope they could make loading faster.

Concluding everything i have said, this game does not have any obvious flaws. They are just minor factors that affect me. Overall, this game is great, definitely a good choice for any gamers looking for a good shooter. I would say Resistance 2 is slightly better than 'Fall of man', given the improved features.

Anyways, Resistance 3 is coming out..........like TOMORROW!!!! You can bet i am gonna get it as long as the price is resonable. So Yeah, thats all for Resistance 2!

Have a nice day!

STGCC 2011 Top 5 cosplayers

Friday 2 September 2011 06:15 Posted by desmondykw
, 0 comments

Its again time for MY top 5 cosplayers, which i have selected from this year's STGCC. There is no ranking as usual, as i will be biased towards the girl's cosplay and put the guys in last ranking. As i did mentioned in my previous post, the number of photos taken in STGCC wasnt up to my standard quantity, which means there will be lesser choices for me to choose my Top 5. So yeah, it was a tough choice for me to decide for my top 5. Here comes the cosplayers......

Dont really know who is she cosplaying as, but looks game-related to me. Pretty good one i would say, some kind of holy maiden cosplay?? Anyway, good pose over there, pretty much gives off the aura of 'elegant-ness' of what a maiden should possessed. You might think i am exaggerating, maybe i am, but she indeed fits her role pretty dam well! Thumbs up!

Angel beats once again! This time round, its TK! If you still remember from the anime, hes a funky guy who dances around speaking random funny english phrases wherever he go, awesome guy!! For this cosplayer, he indeed looks pretty alike to TK. Having his bandanna covering his eyes just like TK and with his similar-like funky style, thats TK for you! Great cosplaying skills!

More angel beats, this time its Yui! Anyone by now should already know i am angel beats biased, so yeah! Cute girl, proportion just great! What i mean is, just compare her and Yui!! I would prefer her with the guitar, nonetheless still great cosplaying by her! Would definitely look forward to her cosplaying again!

Yuri nakamura once more! Slightly taller and more mature-looking than the original, but still one of my best to me. She's the only Yuri cosplayer i have seen so far in all the events that i have attended, so yeah, i was pretty excited when i saw her. Pretty girl, nice pose, just wonderful! Sadly, no sight of Kanade, but hey dont lose hope. Theres still a chance to see both Yuri and Kanade in AFA!!

Here comes the best cosplayer so far in STGCC! Really cute girl, cosplaying as Rin from Vocaloids. Just the perfect proportion in my opinion. Cute and adorable, way similar to Rin herself. Yes i know i may be over-exaggerating, but i guess i cant stop it since i am a lolicon!!

So yeah, that concludes my top 5 cosplayers for STGCC 2011. Overall, STGCC 2011 wasnt really a great event to me, just a averagely fine one. But still, i will look forward towards STGCC 2012, just hope they show more love towards the anime side!

Have a nice day!
