If you’ve familiarity at all with the local and worldwide cosplay scene in general, you’d be familiar with all the hubbub that’s going around with the new Otacool 2 magazine. Otacool is a magazine feature for cosplays. In particular, Otacool 2 features cosplay from around the world.

Cosplayers are invited to submit photographs of themselves to the magazine via DannyChoo.com and from there, get picked to feature in the magazine and if lucky enough, featured on the front cover of Otacool 2.

But this isn’t what this entry is about. Having seen some of the “drama” on Facebook, I decided to take a look at the front cover features.

Do take note that while I do try not to take sides, the Internet… speaks for itself. More so when you go onto 4chan’s /cgl/.

In the line-up, amongst which I recognize are;

1. Danny Choo – No surprises
2. Kaname – Still no surprise
3. FranDan – Questionable reputation in /cgl/.
4. Alodia – Also has questionable reputation in /cgl/. Honestly, some cosplayers have BETTER costumes than her.
5. Yaya Han – Boob job, she looks quite unnatural due to bust size. Her feature photo is from an older cosplay set.

Luckily enough, I think we DO have some cosplayers from Singapore being featured on the front page. However, two other things have caught my eye.

Sakana Sashimi

Now if you haven’t already seen it, she has a “fan-site”, which is amazing after just one cosplay! Debuted after she was featured in DC for her submission of her meido cosplay in HiMM(He is My Master). Gained +4 to notoriety after leader of fansite creates thread to introduce her in CF Forums.

Saya

If you’ve not seen her galleries, do check out wakarimasenlol.com, Linkinstreet’s blog. He’s got a bucketload of cosplay just of Saya. Also featured on Sankaku(which counts for something I guess).

Now comes the kicker… IF Danny Choo doesn’t count, WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE MALE COSPLAYER IN THE ENTIRE FRONT FEATURE LINEUP!?

Having seen Kuala Lumpur in their line-up last year, I was wondering what the dates would be like. But the dates have finally been confirmed, ticket sales will start real soon.

VGL Timetable

Dust off those wax-blocked ears and put on your ghillie suits… VGL IS COMING TO MALAYSIA!

It sucks being where I am at the moment… missing a lot of stuff I’d usually do back home but can’t do here because of distance, money or maybe because I’m in the wrong place.

I just love the AG-Chambers for the shit they came up with.

Hot-pot/steamboat dinner last night with my flatmates and a few others. Carl, Carl’s wife(i can’t remember her name… think it was Hong Wei), Yan and our elusive flatmate, Lebona. Chris came over as well.

The menu included chicken pieces, fish, LOBSTER!(HAHA!), fishballs, meatballs, veg. Two soups, one spicy(which killed my throat) and a regular stock base made out of chicken and fish.

Long story short, here are photos!

Feeling overconfident of yourself?

Not getting enough of the hate from others because of your superiority?

Would you like the world to worship your feet even though you know they hate your guts and they won’t?

Well… you’ve come to the right place! Join us now on Facebook!

If others can be narcissistic, self-appreciative, conceited pricks, why not YOU?

Featuring a different climax and conclusion to the original TV series and first movie, Lagann-hen is in my opinion an altogether more satisfying conclusion to an already very awesome anime series.

Yeah… I bit the bullet, paid the money, squeezed my eyes shut and upgraded to Windows 7 which is happily running as I type this entry up.

First look at it… it actually looks niftier if not a lot smarter than Vista and definitely better than how XP would ever look. As a friend put it, “This is how an OS should look like”. Putting a status update on Facebaww has gotten me messages from, “Welcome to the club” and “/snorts at Windows” to “Now all you need is NO CLIPPING mode!”.

Decided to remodel Foobar and picked up an FCL find someone kindly provided.

I swear, modding Foobar alone when you don’t know what most of the code does is excruciatingly painful.

Also fooled around with some DSPs and WASAPI. WASAPI causes other sounds to be muted when Foobar is running so no annoying backgrounds when i listen to Foobar and play flashgames at the same time.

Total time spent customizing: 2hours
Total time spent trying to self-customize: 45minutes
When you pick a pre-configured FCL and change it to suit your needs: Priceless!
