It’s amazing the kind of stuff you can read online nowadays. 4chan’s /cgl/ is an example of  a cosplay cesspool, FranDan/Yaya/Alodia get all the hate. Then there’s the whole Otacool 2 thing. But just when you thought things were getting quiet! We have our own “local” heroes(when I say local I actually mean somewhere down south. Singapore seceded on the 9th of August 1965 from the Federation of Malaysia).

But we too have more ‘local’ flavours of rage and disgust. So much so that a new thread sprang up in a local event forum, Comic Fiesta. As a mod, I will refrain, which I try to do most of the time, by trying to offer a not too biased opinion. But this is no bias, just pure DRAMA involved.

RUSSIA SUPREME! SOVIET MOTHER RUSSIA WOMENS IZ AWESUM!

And to think they come from the same country as Comrade Premier Romanov President  Putin and Prime Minister Medvedev.

Ever notice how some friends(because they’re friends, see. Else why would you add them in the first place?), particularly couples, love to leave each other heartfelt messages on Facebook? No? Just take a quick look, particularly when a notable is upcoming(try Valentine’s or some sort of birthday, religious celebration etc) and you’ll quickly see the messages couples leave each other.

I’d sooner call it ‘MEDAL OF AFGHANISTAN’.

From the trailer… it’s set in Afghanistan, or what looks to be Afghanistan. Ala CoD4, the trailer also shows some scenes of the protagonist, i.e. YOU, driving a vehicle, flying a helicopter aaaaaanddddd *drum roll* in the hot-seat of what looks suspiciously to be a AC-130 gunship.

Trailer can be viewed here.

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!
