Been a fan of egoraptor since he was rocking Metal Gear Awesome videos at Newsground. He’s written an album featuring songs about Nintendo characters (and a few from other consoles like FF7) and they are fun to listen.

MCM Comic con 2013: Boners, naked people and raging nerds http://www.crazybobbles.org/2013/10/27/mcm-comic-con-2013-boners-naked-people-and-raging-nerds/ http://www.crazybobbles.org/2013/10/27/mcm-comic-con-2013-boners-naked-people-and-raging-nerds/#comments Sun, 27 Oct 2013 12:24:09 +0000 http://www.crazybobbles.org/?p=2587 Naked sim

Yesterday I went to the London MCM Comic con event. Essentially it’s a RAGING nerd fest where you cosplay, play video games, meet stars and spend money on junk you don’t need.

The start of the day wasn’t so good, first fail was that I forgot my 3DS XL. This place is a street pass magnet (not going to explain if you don’t own a 3DS) and there’s an achievement for hitting 100 street passes a day which I couldashouldawoulda got. Second fail was this queue:

MCM Comic Con: The 2+ hour queue

That queue lasts for 2 hours. Last few years I have waltzed into the place without waiting. That in addition to no street passes made me sad.

So things to cheer me up. How about rocking the Nintendo booth and winning a £15 eShop voucher? The rules were simple, you play 15 minutes of Wii U AND 3DS games and you get a nice card you use to “spin the swag wheel”. This ranged from Pikmin stickers to the elusive £15 eShop voucher. Here’s Lauren winning a sonic hat which everyone seemed to faff over.

Lauren and the Nintendo swag wheel

Afterwards we looked around and I shot a few cosplayers (not much this time since I had company)

Here’s Batman (the black knight) and Snow white

The Black Knight and Snow White

Here’s Franziska von Karma from Phoenix Wright

Here’s No-face and the person from spirited away

No-face and Lauren

Here’s Iori from King of Fighters fighting Ryu from Street Fighter (bitches love crossovers)

Iori Yagami and Ryu

I also ate tasty fried chicken with japanese mayo, that was tasty.

Also managed to stumble on the Cyanide & Happiness booth where Rob (one of the artists) was there to sign books and draw sketches based on topics you’d suggest or ones written and placed in a box

Rob DenBleyker from Cyanide & Happiness

I asked for “Guitars” (because you know, I play them)

Cyanide and Happiness: Guitars

Was a fun day and Lauren got her 100 street passes

Lauren and the 100 street passes

We then took a cable car to enjoy the view of the o2

and proceeded to advance to Meat Mission for dinner. We had burgers, bingo wings and chilli cheese fries

I also had a tasty grog

Sun, sea and peasant sodomy http://www.crazybobbles.org/2013/09/30/sun-sea-and-peasant-sodomy/ http://www.crazybobbles.org/2013/09/30/sun-sea-and-peasant-sodomy/#respond Mon, 30 Sep 2013 12:50:06 +0000 http://www.crazybobbles.org/?p=2559 Feet

So before we enter October I thought I’d quickly summarise my holiday in September. Booked a cheeky week off work to do a number of things. Here I go…

So not really the start of holidays but Friday ended up eating a GIANT 20 inch pizza, that was tasty. Bitches love coriander

Homeslice pizza

Then Saturday we had some tasty Byron burger.. no photos for that since you know.. I’ve taken it countless times…

Sunday we took a trip to Ikea for some furniture ideas and to consume some long overdue meatballs, they were tasty

Ikea meatballs

Monday was fun, we went to Hampton Court palace to check out the maze initially. We ended up going inside and soaking up some history. I loved studying about Henry VIII back in primary school so it was amaze balls to actually check it out.

Here’s Lauren pointing to a maze:

aMAZEing right? And here’s Lauren challenging a swan

Here’s Lauren up a chimney

In the hole 4/4

and here’s Lauren sleeping on a peasant

Sleeping around with the peasants

I did something else to another peasant, but I’ll keep this post SFW and spare the details. Oh and here’s Lauren being a water fountain

Ocean spray

Was fairly tiring at the end of the day so we went back and had some tasty thai food in Wimbledon

Mae Ping - Pad Thai and chiang mai chicken curry

Tuesday we took a trip to Brighton to visit friends. We had a sushi lunch at my sushi place near work

Papaya sushi

met up with people and ate at a japanese place called Pom Poko (like the Ghibli film). Those gyozas were amaze balls

Pom poko

Nearer the evening our bed and breakfast place had a special guest by the bar. If you don’t recognise him then you’re too young

Bodger and Badger (and Lauren)

MASHED POTATOES. The next day we went out and roamed by the beach. Also had a lovely breakfast by the sea which was soon devoured by seagulls. This is Lauren eating her breakfast (not a seagull)

Breakfast by the beach

Back in London we went to Bob’s Lobster to try out a lobster roll and Lobster mac and cheese. Tasty

Thursday we went to our favourite dim sum place Golden Dragon which was closed for refurb. Here’s some crispy deep fried stuff

Vietnamese spring rolls and paper wrapped prawns

We then took a sneaky trip to the natural history museum and saw a dinosaur

In the mouth

Friday we went to a zoo! Here’s some boring wildlife photos

Some weird horn things

I like this guy

Red handed

and tapiers

Tapirs

There was a maze in this zoo too. Was more fun to escape than Hampton court (mazes are cool)

Lost

and that’s about most of the holiday. I think the last few days were spent recovering from all the events mentioned above. We have Florence to visit next. Flights all sorted :)

Lounging in Green Park http://www.crazybobbles.org/2013/07/08/lounging-in-green-park/ http://www.crazybobbles.org/2013/07/08/lounging-in-green-park/#respond Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:39:21 +0000 http://www.crazybobbles.org/?p=2468 Lauren and I met up with Karis and Eda. Played with my camera, talked about cameras. Here is Lauren playing the 3DS XL when we were boring her with camera talk

Lauren with 3DS XL

We then went and ate at Eds Diner. Food looks vile but tastes good, I had a baileys milkshake and a chilli dog. Can’t really beat meat liquor chilli.

Unphotogenic hotdog

Bill came after the waitress knocked over glasses over my lap. Cute message, even cute when you can see what it originally wasIf you are afraid of change

Then we saw some dudes dance to Gangnam style…

Walk to St James’s Park http://www.crazybobbles.org/2013/07/05/walk-to-st-jamess-park/ http://www.crazybobbles.org/2013/07/05/walk-to-st-jamess-park/#respond Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:36:08 +0000 http://www.crazybobbles.org/?p=2422 So recently I’ve changed my route to work because I needed more time to kill monsters in Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. The battles are about 30 minutes long so I just need to sit down a LITTLE bit longer and save afterwards.

SquirrelSo yeah, St James’s Park, it means if I find a seat in the underground I can sit there the whole time unless I need to gain pregnant points. The park is pretty scenic, loads of raging tourists, pelicans, squirrels and more tourists.

Mirror custom

After 18 off months of waiting I’ve finally got my dream guitar. It’s very nice, technical jargon includes dual nantucket bare knuckle pickups, fernandes sustainer, kill switch button, ibanez lo pro tremolol, ebony fretboard and maple neck, mirror finish with black binding and silver sparkles. I’m getting close to finishing my Manson guitar collection, one more to go

ML-1 Sparkles & Mirrors

A 24-70mm lens

Useful for small gigs and all, not sure what sparked me to get it, got it in grey markets, because you know, I’m cheap.

Most expensive lens purchase to date

Saw a few Muse gigs

Muse @ Emirates

Hot pots

Loads of hot pots. Just dunk various bits of meat, tofu, cabbages, noodles into a raging hot spicy pot and consume until you collapse with meat sweats and a warm soup belly.

Hot and herbal

This camera

Probably going to push me to take more photos as well as post more on my blog. It’s still in dire need of a redesign AGAIN. I want something more photo centric.

Fujifilm X100S

That’s about it.

Game acquisition syndrome http://www.crazybobbles.org/2013/01/17/game-acquisition-syndrome/ http://www.crazybobbles.org/2013/01/17/game-acquisition-syndrome/#respond Thu, 17 Jan 2013 01:43:20 +0000 http://www.crazybobbles.org/?p=2029 Game acquisition syndrome

I’m addicted :( the thing I hate myself for is the fact that I can probably spend the entire year playing games solid with the games I own, unfortunately completing or fully juicing the game has been sparse as I tend to look for the next game deal and get the joy from purchasing and less on playing the game itself.

I’ve now put myself in a game purchasing ban until I complete a giant list of games which includes the following:

  • Skyrim (PC)
  • Jelly defense (iOS)
  • Gravity Rush (PS Vita)
  • Super Mario Bros. Wii U (Wii U)
  • Mark of the Ninja (PC)
  • Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)
  • Final Fantasy: Dissidia (PSP)
  • Boktai 2 (GBA)
  • Kingdom Hearts (3DS)
  • Kid Icarus (3DS)
  • Dishonored (PC)
  • Castlevania: Lord of Shadow (PS3)

I just completed Super Mario 3D Land so things are shaping up on the finishing aspect.
