I forgot to add in this to my "what counts" towards video game cosplaying...

#6. What about the soldiers. Like Call of Duty series, Battlefield, etc..etc..etc..
- I think that will be a no on that part... Cause you can easily wear camo and say.... I'm some soldier from (insert FPS game). but you can always do Naked Snake from MGS3? Just have the headband and eyepatch...

#7. Resident evil zombies???
I doubt that too... Cause any person say, I'm zombie from Resident Evil... -.-

DOH! EDITED! forgot to add this one as well..

#8. What about two costumes in one? Like lets say... I have a naruto head band, naruto hair cut, naruto shoes... yet... I have the Final Fantasy XI White Mage Suit, and pants... DOES THAT COUNT!?
- .... wtf?? All I can say is... I think it'll count.... but the "judges" will be like.. what the hell???

#9. MMORPGS??
- ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........... I think??? just prove it to me that the armor is in the game...

We all have to meet up at one spot to make this (unofficially) count....

On the cosplay.com forums... I said...

http://www.cosplay.com/showpost.php?p=2389...mp;postcount=49

..... Since we're going to try to get... 300+ peeps at one location for the unofficial record.... We need a place that can fit all of them without causing any major fire hazards....

The first one I'll suggest is the "North West" Entrance of the Convention Center. The only problem with that one is... we'll probably be blocking off the big garage door / fire escape doors... and the angle of the sun might cause picture problems????

Next is "East Outside Entrance" of the Hyatt. Yet again... same problems as well.. the same as above....

The third one is inside the Convention Center Lobby area... This one is a fire hazard waiting to happen... and since it's indoor... some pics might not turn out as well???

And the last suggestion... pretty much my last resort..... And my car jock friend will seriously kill me if we do this.. hahahaha? (yeah right).... Hi-Jack the Car Show. Since that took too much open space last year.. might as well fill it up...

if you have no clue what I just said.. and need a visual aid... look at my attachment that I put up..


Here's the locations that I suggested...

So yeah... I'm looking at the Saturday 2pm timeslot. At one of the spots that I mention above...

Okay, thanks for the link, I bookmarked that thread and will try to keep an eye on it; once there's a concrete official meeting place Private Message me through the ACEN board and let me know about it (where/when) if that is alright with you. This sounds like a great idea.

Hey Beryl, If you read this..

I say we seriously do this! as in MAKE the counting official.. I know we can do this.... I'm getting really tempted in throwing down $300 to $600 for the fast track application just to make this official and bringing in the Guinness rep.....

(I just need to convince the other video game cosplay group to join us in this attempt)....-.-

And one last thing...

I WANT US TO SHOW THE WORLD ACen's PRIDE!!! in making this attempt!!!

I was like.. WHAT? at first... Then I have to wikipedia it... and I just learn.. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure started off as a manga??? I didn't know that.. so therefore... I don't think it'll count to the numbers...

WHAT DAY?!? WHAT DAY FOR SURE?!?!?


I'm doing a VG character!

If I can make it on Saturday, it'll have to be crammed in between jrock and the Masq, but Dipp from Katamari will show up for sure!

EDIT: I just compiled my schedule--Dipp can show! Just let me know where!

How about going for an ACen official record? Or did we get an Guinness official to come out?

I haven't finished reading through the posts yet.

I'm gonna say this in advance. If we do this in 09, please let it be an outdoor area. I'm 2 days away from getting my motorcycle license & I'm getting a quote on a custom bike. It's gonna be the FF7 bike & I will have a Cloud cosplay if I can afford the bike.

I do not have any cosplays that involves a character in a videogame, but do you think Naruto counts since he's also in a videogame? If not, then that would mean I can't be a part of the gathering.

Nah, he said earlier that the character has to originate from a video game. If it is an anime/manga chara that was made into a game, it's a no-go.

No Naruto doesn't count because it was anime before it was a video game...It has to be from a video game before it was made into an anime...

That's it guys.. After looking at my calender .. Time for me to make some decision.....

I've decided..

-SATURDAY
-2PM to 3PM
-Inside the Rosemont convention center lobby!!
-And it won't be official since I'm not getting any word from the con chair...

So lets shock "The Con Down South" by whooping them with an unofficial record of (insert number)!!!

.hack may work, just so long as it's a character ONLY from a video game. The video game is the main media, anyway, because .hack//Sign was serving as a prologue. As for Digimon...that is a hard one... No characters from the show, but if someone somehow made a costume of one of Digimon themselves...maybe?

Though Brock would count in the games - he appeared as the Pewter City Gym Leader in Red and Blue (and Green) version before he was in the anime, remember?
