I'm moving there. I feel that Blogger is not keeping up with the times, and that its functionality is very limited.

I happened to be at the Games Convention Asia (GCA) last Saturday. I wasn't planning to go there, and in fact, I didn't realise that GCA was at Suntec, simply because I wasn't that interested. So I went with my family for lunch that afternoon (as usual), saw that bright yellow banner across one of the walls, and *poof*, I'm at the GCA.There wasn't really much interesting things there. The games with the biggest crowds is Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Saw someone playing Star Wars: The Force Unleased on the Wii, epic fail. Saw Need for Speed: Undercover too (not released yet), Spore, Warhammer Online trailer, as well as the Warhammer Online game, some free online games, F1 simulated racing, DotA tournaments, lots of cosplayers, a long queue for something I didn't bother to find out (the queue was like a wall across about a third of the convention hall), I saw the Frostmourne replica, and I saw Arthas walking around. Yes, the Lich King.
Since majority of you sad Singaporeans are all anime crazy and most likely wouldn't know who exactly is the Lich King. Most likely you've just heard of him by his name, and maybe that's all you know. I have no freaking idea what is so fun/cool/amazing about Naruto or Bleach, and since majority of the cosplayers were wearing suits based on anime characters, I guess they're popular here for some reason. The worst part? Its GCA, not anime convention.
I'm anti-anime for your info. And no, drawings with retardedly big eyes do not appeal to me.
For some reason, this turned into an anti-anime post. It wasn't supposed to be like this. Anyway, I took some pictures of and with the Lich King. Don't really feel like posting my picture up here, but what the hell.
I took the first 2 pictures with my own phone, decided the quality would be too crappy for one of my favourite game characters/lore, so I borrowed my Dad's phone. Speaking of Warcraft being my favourite lore, I think I'll go cram myself with Warcraft lore during the holidays. Blizzard games have the best storyline. Too bad I think Relic (makers of Dawn of War and Company of Heroes) has the better gameplay. Well, the Company of Heroes story was not bad, but its not a real story since its based on World War 2. Anyway, back to camera phone quality, the fifth picture is pretty badly blurred, no idea why. The auto focus must be screwed up or something. Sad, it had to blur when it was a good angle and pose.
Actually I took a fully body picture. For some reason, when I uploaded it to the computer, the colour became all screwy, with yellow, green, red, and blue
Here he's watching people play Guitar Hero. Lol.Then, he walked to the World of Warcraft booth nearby, and it became a photo taking session. The moment he walked there, about over 20 people started standing in a circle around him, taking pictures of him. You can see the Frostmourne replica behind him.
I know I kind of look like crap in that picture. If I knew I would be going to the GCA and that it was not a usual lunch outing, I would have worn something nicer. This is also most likely the only time you'll see my face online, so consider yourself lucky.
