WTF Fridays - 孔明の罠 - Kaizo Trap

A Kaizo trap is a type of video game Hope Spot: You have just finished a difficult challenge, such as defeating a boss, completing a level, or even winning the whole game. The battle is over and you breathe a sigh of relief. Then the game kills you during the victory cutscene, and you have to do it all over again.

The player has to find a way to defuse the trap before completing their actual goal, as their fate is otherwise unavoidable after triggering the cutscene and losing control of their character.

This is what happens in the video. A courageous girl fights 8-bit hell to rescue her man in Guy Collins' animated dubstep adventure.

Otakon 2013 Recap

I totally forgot I didn't do a recap for Otakon last year. Anyway, here's the link to my photos. They're not much. Now on to Otakon 2013 Recap...


Pre-Registration (Thursday)

I worked from home on Thursday. Since I work in Virginia, it just makes sense. I worked extra on from Monday to Wednesday last week so I could take off early on Thursday. I already packed most of my stuff the night before. I just did some last minute checks and I was on my way to Baltimore.

I stayed at the Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore Hotel, about half a mile from the Baltimore Convention Center depending on where you walk. It's a nice hotel if you get lucky with the elevators and peak check-in/out time of the guests. They were also doing renovations, though it didn't really bother me. Probably some people. I parked my car on an outside garage just across the street. This was a good decision on my part which we'll find out later.

After I got comfortable with my room and put everything away, I went to get my badge. The line wasn't long. They just made everyone go the long way inside the convention in case it rained. Not long after I was inside, it rained.
