well thats creepy that u want to commit mass murder

I think we should move our conversations to a different thread.

Where did I ever say that? :p

Killjoy.

NDK in Denver CO.

oh :(. sorry i wont make it then

Neat, I'm in the Springs.
I can't make it because I have no form of transportation, but it's neat to know that it's possible :lol

Have you ever been to the convention at all?

he's 17, probably not...but lord knows when he hits his first con...I know *I* went nuts, spent too much and loved every minute lol at my first...

Unfortunately not...

Wait, are you talking about me?

Yeah, it is a A LOT of fun. Myself, my girlfriend, and a few of our friends have made friends with some of the voice actors that have been coming on a yearly basis, so we usually spend a lot of time on the hotel's patio hanging out with them on Friday and Saturday night. In fact, I watch them all get drunk together and laugh since I do not drink. That is by far the highlight of the convention for me. I mean, the dealer's room is cool, but I can buy all of that stuff online if I really wanted to, I cannot meet the VAs online.

In fact, last year Tony Oliver was there and we were chilling with him, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (voice of Motoko in Ghost in the Shell), and Clarine Harp (VP of Funimation's marketing dept, who will be back this year) on Friday night for nearly 4 hours just talking about random nonsense and having fun with it. It's also easier to get their autographs then rather than missing out on the convention to sit in the autograph line all day on Saturdays. :-p

The next fun portion is doing my panels, because I don't have to wait in line for 40 minutes to get into the room.

Unless you're willing to swing by the Springs, I'm probably not gonna get to go :lol

But that does sound like fun. VAs are often hilarious and super awesome from what I see in videos ^^

Yeah, sorry, we live in Aurora, and that would be way too far. Plus having to take you back. :D

Yeah, most of the VAs are great. There are a few bad eggs who either hide in their rooms the entire time (which makes you wonder why they are there) or are rude (like one of the VAs last year got annoyed because we sat down to talk to some of the others).

Wow, some people just do not know how to have fun. I got a message from a user asking why am I doing a panel on Kamen Rider when anyone can just look it up and watch clips on youtube. They obviously have no idea what the concept of fun is.

Anyway, all of my clips are done, put together, dramatizations have been added :), the comedy has been added too, so now I just have to wait a week and a half for my panel.

I'd love to see people look up a panel's worth of stuff on Youtube at the rate Toei take down videos :lol

Not to mention my clips are not just straight up clips. I have things inserted to them whether it be subtitles or a pony beating the crap out of a monster while the leader of Shocker is talking to Hongo. For example, last year, during the Legendary War footage I showed for my History of Sentai panel, we placed subs across the screen that said, "It's like Lord of the Rings, only in spandex." This year the jokes continue like having scenes from A Clockwork Orange spliced into the Saban's Masked Rider opening.

People like to forget the stuff that happened between the "So, this Skullman thing is neat, let's do that again" phase of production and the finished product. Namely a series of premises and character designs that apparently Ishimori (he added the "no" later, not sure why.) thought were too heroic looking, and that instead they should have the hero also be a monster, hence why Hongo is a cyborg just like the monsters from the show.

All right, tomorrow starts my convention, which means tomorrow is my Kamen RIder panel and Saturday is my Sentai panel. As such, I won't be around on here most of the weekend, but wish me luck. :D

You should include the more memorable Kaijin from the shows. Starfish Hitler from Kamen Rider X would definitely shock most people, not because of the Nazi imagery but because I doubt anyone could come up with a villain concept so dangerous than the Fuhrer and giant Starfish.

I did. I asked if anyone could tell me the name of an infamous monster and only two people knew it and I gave the one that told me an Ouja vinyl.

They are Common... Riders...man.

FORCED joke man...

Hey it's a Ridah man!
