@RyuuzakiRue98 Cosplaying for your first time? Oooh, it'll be memorable, especially since it'll be at the biggest convention on the east coast!! Awesome things happen at Otakon, just by watching the videos and from me going for the first time last year, it's amazing. You'll have tons of fun! And you should cosplay. It's totally fun. X3

[Vickster122162]

The day before the con

=]]

[FlamingHeart82]

yea i kinda figured that XD but thanks so much anyway! sorry to inconvenience u with my stupidity =3

[SuperOtakuRu]

Nice Muse mix @ 7:00 ...

[kidneyguy]

hey, for the guy that was "advertising" shaq fu, what techno group's cds was he selling? they sounded pretty good (in my opinion). i would have bought a cd, but i had already bought other stuff and didn't have enough money for one.

[DJdarkshadow7]

Last year was my first year, and it was amazing. I hope this year is even better :D

[DREGARB]

can someone tell me in the part where it says for registration IN THE OTAKON WEBSITE, only one person needs to register and pay, and that person can bring all his friends, or each person attending needs to register? Someone ANSWER ASAP PLEASE!

[akitochan696]

Only one person, your friends have to register as well

[DREGARB]

arigato gozaimas! btw i bet u have attended this event before so, is the line pretty long to get into the place, and is it really worth it to go to this evnt?

[akitochan696]

Actually this will be my first line, I just know each person must register for themselves

But my friend has went many times and I asked her the same thing and she said standing in line is just more fun added to Otakon :]

[DREGARB]

ok thank you for telling me this

[kidneyguy]

DREGARB: I've been going since '06, and yes, the line is long to get in, but it's DEFINITELY worth it. if you've already registered, go on thursday night to get your badge. the line goes much quicker that night than on friday morning.

[DREGARB]

thank you, i've another question though, since the event is for 3 days, does that mean that in order to get in each day i have to be in line the nigth before for each next day?

[kidneyguy]

DREGARB: no no no no no. just get there at the time the doors open, and you'll get right in!

[DREGARB]

ok thank you

[Tailschu]

[lauren6984]

what does, "you lost the game" mean? people at cons like to shout this out but i'm left in the dark - i don't get its meaning

[RichTheRiver]

Do you want to play the game? :)

[Terra7x]

gah! you made me loose the game XD

[Terra7x]

the game is very simple...

your always playing the game.

you cannot win. you can only lose.

when you remember the game, you have to say out loud 'I lose!'

when you mention the game to anyone else, they begin to play too...

best way I can describe it ^_^v

[josuda100]

if you pre register do you have to wait in line

[RichTheRiver]

What I filmed was the pre-reg line. :)
