Pics for A-kon 24

A-kon 24 was HUGE!

New hotel, new bigger rooms, and with it being the first year at the Hilton Anatole, new chaos! And we were able to make it back in this year. These are only a tiny fraction of all the costumes you could see there.

So dark and mysterious!

Tons of awesome detail!

The lady with the Grrr suit even had a piggy backpack! Hee!

You'd not believe the amount of detail on her dress. Amazing!

Lucius Malfoy.

I don't think he he has my best interest at heart here. Heh heh

Black Butler!

Costumes from all over the place.

Just amazing!

Mouths, teeth, and eek!

Bird lady

Like an evil Chinese sorcerer straight out of a Kung Fu film. Yeah!

Ninjas for the win!

New earrings my daughter created at the con - Chibi Chains!

I especially liked these! Look like an insignia for an anime or something. :P

Princess Tutu!

I love the inflatable unicorn! They all looked great too. Loved the long horned weapon thing.

Gargoyles! (She looked fantastic!)

Mustaches for everyone!

She was so adorable! She even had deer freckles!

Merida from Brave!

Nooooo! A Creeper! Hissssss

So bright!

Is this awesome or what? 

My second attempt at a plushie. heh (Dragged him along for fun)

There were a lot of awesome statues and art at the hotel. Didn't get to go looking around though. :(

Pagoda by the front desk.

Pre-reg line on Thursday night. This is but a small section of the humongous line. Hopefully they will figure out a better set up for registration next year. Eek!

Across the isle artist neighbors before the halls filled up. :)

Horse head!

I fell in love! This dragon is MINE! Mine mine mine!

Got us an Alain Viesca print this year. YES!

Bronys were in attendance. The backpack was so cute!

Steampunk Megaman!

Awesome figures and toys were available for sale.

Hawkeye, Thor, and Loki. They looked great!

More Black Butler peeps!

Totally loved her android costume! 

Unexpected battle - Rafael vs. the Foot Ninjas! Woot!

More hotel art!

He even had shells sewn into the costume!

Lee Martindale and other author/editors at A-kon.

Love his pipe gun! It just looked awesome! :)

Ursula from the Little Mermaid. Totally rad!

As you can see, there was a ton of costumes and stuff going on. And I probably saw but a small fraction of it all. Mind boggling!

Angry Birds - The Star Wars Edition

Oh yeah, you heard right...Angry Bird Star Wars!

Not a combo I ever expected, but it's actually quite fun. Here's a few pics to show you what I'm talking about.

1st opening screen. You can see the Angry Birds version of all our favorite Star Wars Heroes. Hee! 

A sligthly wacky but ever so recognizable theme song starts here. Wish I could take a zoomed pic of this as the tie fighters have snouts and piggy ears. Heh heh.

Tattoine is the first puzzle world. Also, you can see the Deathstar from here. Love the creativity of making everything look pig like. Too cute!

These are all the Tatooine levels. You can see a Sand People Pig on the right. On the left are quick movies. The levels/planets are playing in actual sequence to Episode 4. 

One of the Tatooine puzzles. Click the link to enlarge the pic to get a real nice look at the Pig Storm Troopers. Hee! As their armor takes damage, you can see the real pig beneath. 

The baddies get lasers on some of the screens. Which is only fair as the characters get powers!

Luke starts out as just a plain Angry Bird (Like the Red bird in the original games). Later on though, he gets a lightsaber!!!!  A big sweep attack you can activate during his arc. 

Obi Wan has a Force push, time slow thing. That one is tricky to use.

Han Solo, when triggered, will shoot 3 laser blasts. They introduce metal walls around that time so you can actually do bank shots!

I've seen R2-D2 and 3-CPO in a bonus screen. R2 shoots lightning and 3-CPO blows up into shrapnel. 

On the space puzzles you get gravity thrown into the mix, so the thrown birds will curve or go straight depending on the celestial bodies. 

Needless to say the game is totally cute! And Chewbacca really IS a fuzzball! lol 

Here's the dramatic trailer for the game - recreation of Obi Wan and Luke at the Bar. Heh heh heh.

Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving!
