MegaCon 2009 – Day 3 – The Shocking Conclusion

[Megacon Pictures: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3]


Sunday, the last day of MegaCon. To wrap up this weekend of nerds in costumes, I ended up browsing more booths/tables and got a few more gifts for you all you gamers who binge. Let’s start the pictures off with cosplay and then some brief coverage of what MegaCon was offering.

After that last picture, you could tell just about all the cosplay was done, so back to booths. One which I walked by caught my eye, a gentleman by the name of Kenny Durkin, you can see his table below.


I figured by that little Miss Sexy Pac Man in the corner, he might have a little video game background. I asked him if he would commission up a drawing I could giveaway, he was more than happy. More on that drawing further down.


To occupy my time, I attended a panel/presentation entitled “Year of the Fighting Game” that felt a little unorganized reminding me of VGXPO. Starting late by just minutes, the hosts “The MFK Legend” and “Luminous Kyo” open with Street Fighter IV talk. The audience, not full but still overall well attended, participated openly with the guys on stage, a little parry vs focus attack talk.

As unorganized as it felt at first, this was good presentation and amusing hearing so many people in one room talk badly about my precious first person shooters, even shit talking Left 4 Dead. No MK vs DC love. Lots of excitement over King of Fighters XII, GameTrailers videos were played on a big screen, even I have to admit the game is looking beautiful. Around the time the topic of Tekken got skipped over for Guilty Gear talk I headed out.

That is when I found one of my last cosplayer pictures. This character I had seen done about 10 times by now, and felt it amusing to see him playing Mario Kart.

Also going on in the gaming corner, a little surprise game called “Tatsunoko vs. Capcom” that I really don’t see hitting stateside soon, so keep modding your Wii’s people.

I noticed people playing card games, not unusual. Video games, also not unusual. However, the Lego’s being in full effect was weird.


Oddness was taken to another level when I see a sign claiming dodgeball when clearly people are just trying to kill each other with foam.

And thus ends MegaCon 2009.

Except for all that swag I have to give away…. including Kenny Durkin’s very iam8bit’ish bad ass Donkey Kong drawing..

How will I give it away. I’ll figure out something easy. (Like this)
