Fandom: MCM Comic Con London (Oct 2014)

So this weekend was once again the return of the MCM Comic Con London (obviously October 2014). I attended this event and once again it was great fun - lots of shops, panels, cosplayers and general stuff to see and do...as I've wrote a couple of reviews on it before I thought this is getting a bit samey...so thought this time instead I'd show you a vid of some of the photos I took of all the awesome cosplayers...enjoy...

...and so they are finished...

I've just finished updating the rest of my Unofficial Nosgoth Signatures in the newish style and uploaded them...the final ones I've added tonight are - Hunter, Prophet, Scout and Tyrant.

Please feel free to download and use at your leisure. If you'd like a customised one then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Enjoy!

Holy Hell-fire I updated the signatures....

Just a note really to say that I've finally had a few spare moments to update my Unofficial Nosgoth Signatures with new sigs for Reaver and Alchemist. More shall follow shortly - so stay tuned!

Fandom: EGX (Euro Gamer Expo) – 26 & 27 Sep 2014

From the outside...Earls Court

At the weekend I got to attend the Euro Gamer Expo (now known as EGX) at Earls Court in London – what to say about this event????...

I got to hang out with some amazing Legacy of Kain/Nosgoth people :D – oh you all know who you are – who were super! I got to play a fair few games...including queuing 30 mins to play Nosgoth – man the wait was longer than the wait in a Lobby back in Alpha lol

View from upstairs

Anyway onto the show – I managed to attend both the Friday and Saturday. The atmopshere was great – the people and design – layout and well just the whole thing was pretty awesome and what you’d kind of expect from a convention if you’ve not been – loud noises – cheering – matches on big screens – stalls – games – games and more games...oh and not expecting overly priced food and drink – but it’s Earls Court so you know what to expect.

Cosplay stage

The only thing I was hoping for and was a little disappointed about was the amount of cosplayers – yes there were a few and the quality was great but there weren't as many as I thought there would be...well compared to MCM Comic Con there weren't many...but I suppose they've only had cosplay there for a couple of years so it takes a while to get going. They did though however have a cosplay stage – and stuff there going on...such as the masquerade, games, panels/guidance etc which was cool.

Winners of the cosplay masquerade (Friday)

The Friday was the less busy of the two days at the convention but it was still pretty manic – the queue to get in the doors was pretty huge but they managed to get people in pretty quick which was damn good...if it would have been raining it would have sucked. The queue time for games though wasn’t as long on the Friday as the Saturday but average waiting time for games was around 30 mins or so – so it was a lot of standing about but it could have been way worse.

There was a little free evening event at a local pub which was kinda cool to – it was free and you got a free drink (I luv free stuff!) and could take part in a gaming quiz...it was great to hang out with some people from the day and generally geek out about games and stuff...I’d recommend popping down if they do one next year – it’s not a banging party (like the Sony one) but a nice chilled out pub gathering.

Great cosplay

Anyway back to games...I don’t think I can remember all the games I went and played – but I'll try to name some: Alien Isolation, Nosgoth, Mortal Kombat X, Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, Lego Batman, Bayonetta 2, Lords of the Fallen, Super Smash Bros (for WiiU), Hyrule Warriors...yeah that's all I can remember right now – and they were all great in there own ways! 

My three top highly anticipated games are:

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris

Bayonetta 2

Mortal Kombat X

...wait Lucinvampire – why isn’t Nosgoth listed in the top three games???? Surely that’s just rude! Heh I’m only not adding it because you all know it’d bump something else out of place – that it’s great – and how much I love it – so thought I’d better be fair and give chance to some other games for once.

Prophet and Alchemist @ Nosgoth

Well in round up – overall it was a great convention – with great people – games and overall awesomeness :D I’d highly recommend visiting it if you haven’t so far...the price is bargain to get in – and if you like games you’ll LOVE it :D

Fandom: Nosgoth Signatures Updated 10 Aug 14!

Fandom: Hyper Japan – 27 Jul 2014

On Sun 27 Jul 14 – I went up to Earls Court London to check out the Hyper Japan convention – which is a Japanese culture event. It features everything from anime, manga, music, clothing, food, cosplay, games and cool stuff like that.

The event itself was well organised – queue wise etc – well laid out – and very spacious…really well planned and organised…though I did go on the Sunday which was less chaotic than the Saturday apparently…the thing that put me off on the Saturday was that everyone was kicked out of the event for two hours over lunch time…which seemed a little meh to me.

I didn’t really get chance to look at the stalls and stuff too much though – but from what I saw the things you could buy were very cool. The music they had going on was absolutely great – there was a really interesting talk on robotics I listened too…and one on Japanese wrestling which was a little strange lol.

The main thing I went for was the cosplay (and to see friends) there were some absolutely fantastic costumes – and I met some really awesome and friendly people – such a great community! There were two cosplay stage performance/shows – one was an international competition – and the other was an event parade…it was a good couple of hours of seeing people do some great skits – in awesome costumes!

…I hung out with Marmite_666 who made an awesome Prophet cosplay and we had a bit of a scuffle...

...and yes I had great fun scaring the hell out of people in and around London lol...

If you’re into Japanese culture – or just fancy and different day out – then I’d recommend attending this event – it’s not too extortionate (though the food is a bit pricey) – and it is a fun day for all the family...

Fandom: Nosgoth Youtube video stuff...

Are you new to the world of Nosgoth? Have no idea about the legacy left from the series of games that pre-date the world you currently see? If so - or if you're old school and just need a refreshing crash course in all things LoK - then go check out Count Eyokir’s Legacy of Kain Lore video! It's a quick guide to the series – which explains the lore of what leads up to the events of the Nosgoth game…

Want to watch a bit of epic Nosgoth gameplay footage? If so be sure to check out Woelfchen’s channel - she's a German gamer who has been a participant of Nosgoth since Alpha. If you're lucky - well unlucky - you may even catch me playing with her - or dying whilst she points and laughs...

Here are a couple of her video's to get you started...

Fandom: MCM London Comic Con May 2014

The 23-25 May 2014 – saw the MCM London Comic Con come around – and fly by at the speed of light!

I had a great time once again – meeting and making friends with some amazing people…it was a fab experience to see all the amazing cosplays and all the great things the event had to offer. I went to a couple of panels, Bones and Falling Skies which were both fantastic. Geeked out a hell of a lot at people's cosplays! I also spent a bit of money wandering around looking at all the amazing stalls the place had to offer. It was a wonderful experience I would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates, movies, games, comics, TV shows and any type of media really. The atmosphere is brilliant – and the friendliness of the people make it a great experience for all the family.

As some of you are probably well aware…ok you probably all are – I’ve been working hard over the last few months creating some cosplays for this event (one of the reasons for my lack of presence in Nosgoth)…and now has come the time to share them with you all…

...and here's the main project I've been working on - I present to you - Lord Kain! 

And for good measure here's a couple of amusing ones...

"Damn these trousers”

“This cape is unruly”

There were a couple of other Nosgothians at the event – who made themselves some amazing costumes…

Marmite-666 as Lt Raziel and Sylvastreak as Lt Rahab…

Here's the stage performance from Marmite-666 as Lt Raziel taking part in Euro Cosplay 2014 Competitions (with Rahab assisting). Make sure you go and check it out as it's so worth seeing!

Do you want to be more individual and stand out from the crowd? If so and you'd like your username or something altered on a signature then please just either drop me a PM on the SE Forum (my username is lucinvampire) or wing me an email at lucinvampire@hotmail.com. Please remember kiddies to title your email as something sensible so I don’t accidently set it on fire with a flame thrower shouting “death to the vampire scum”…uh well you know accidently delete it thinking it’s spamalot!
