I totally geeked out this past Fourth of July weekend, by the way.
Hung out in Orange County at Daespring's house and played Halo 2. It had been a while since I'd played versus another player in a first-person-shooter, and boy did I suck! (Well, it could've been the beers.) I thought the Socom skills would translate, but I was wrong. Like a newbie I blew myself up with my own grenades and fell off cliff edges to my death.
The next day, Gosh and I went to the Anime Expo in Anaheim. I got some pictures of cosplay. Some of my favorite anime/video game characters are pictured above. I couldn't figure out where these kids came from:
They're Japanese school kids armed with various weapons. I thought they might have come from Battle Royale, but they're not wearing the famous exploding-decapitating-neck collars.
