I think it was meanrock, EvilMaverick, and Mizu came on Saturday.

[Atreus]

Friday: EvilMaverick, meanrock, Cloud4905/Skragnoth (and his girlfriend), Me
Saturday: EvilMaverick, Mizu, Me

I have posted a bunch of pictures and news about it to twitter, as I was able to do so from my cell phone. My plan now is to get the pictures from everyone rounded up and post them all in here for you guys. I have mine and Mizu's so far. Once I have Meanrock's and Mavericks', I'll begin posting them. Right now, I'm just damn tired

[Atreus]

meanrock' V2 pictures (eg. resized and formatted) and EvilMaverick's pictures will likely be done tomorrow. I hope you guys like 'em - it took me a while to properly resize, reorient, tag, and format everything!

[Gezeppi]

To answer your questions on the "Who are these?" pictures in Mizu's: The original Silk Spectre, Juri from Super Street Fighter 4, and a Helghast Trooper from Killzone. Atreus, I am disappoint. ]:

EDIT: Missed one: Looks to be Poison Ivy. More disappoint.

[yyler]

I love that the first Link has a plastic juice bottle on her belt.

[DestroAnt]

The one with the soldier i believe is from killzone 2

Also, when my sister went she said the mythbusters were doing some kind of event where adam dresses up in a costume (this year was a storm trooper), and the x person to recognize him would get an ipad


Also really cool pictures. I'm jealous that my sister went this year (Without telling me...), she said next year she would take me with her for all four days.

[Atreus]

A few people were asking me how I managed to so awesomely format all those images perfectly into the ost without spending hours. I went ahead and explained it in IRC, but thought I'd pui t here as well, edited into paragraphs instead of man IRC line entries

Normally, if I was doing them by hand, I'd need to:  Re-orient any picture which is oriented wrong (eg pictures taken with the camera turned). Then, resize each image once for posting. THEN, make a resized duplicate for thumbnails. Thennn, I'd need to take every image and make it into a thumbnailed link (eg [url=theimageurl][img]thethumbnurl[/img][/url]). After that's all done, I'd need to make a list entry otut of every single one, add line breaks, and surround it in list tags. Which, as you can imagine, would take a really long fucking time. That's actually why i offered to do it for everyone (mizu, meanrock, etc) - (a) i know how to do it awesomely and (b) they're lazy :V

Instead of that huge kadeel above, I got an awesome batch renaming and resizing program. I set it to, for any selection of pictures, properly reorient, resize, and make a resized thumbnail all in one fell swoop Then, I used Directory Opus to copy the filenames of everything relative to the folders (eg mizu's, mine, all linked right). Lastly, I pasted the resulting filenames into my notepad program I use while uploading them. This entire process before, despite saying it lengthily, only took about 5-10 minutes due to he wa i set up the batch . After all that was done, i setup a regex pattern in the notepad program to take the image links (eg "sdcc2010/mizu/IMG_2694.jpg") and transform it into the following, which you can see when click on the quote button on the post

Code: Select all

[*]Space for a caption!\n" (where \n is a new line).


A nice, clean list of properly sized and oriented pictures with space for captions, which can be done in about 5 minutes for an entire batch

[Fried Gold]

Here's more picture label fixes:

[*]A Yu-Gi-Oh! card[/list]


[Atreus]

Okay, all the fixes mentioned so far are done

[flak]

I think that random panel in the second set of photos must be Hellboy-related. Pretty sure that's Ron Perlman on the left.

[Gezeppi]

The big blue monster doll thing is an Ugly Doll.

[Atreus]

Thanks, zeppi. Fixed!

[Atreus]

And, here's EvilMaverick's! Only one more set to go, once Meanrock sends me his originals

• The awesome Scott Pilgrim ad thingy on the front of a Hotel
  
  
• Picture from when EvilMaverick and I saw the "Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds" (Part 1)
  
  
• Picture from when EvilMaverick and I saw the "Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds" (Part 2)
  
  
• Star Wars: The Clone Wars display
  
  
• Iron Man action figure thingy
  
  
• Bumblebee from Transformers
  
  
• Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood display at the Square-Enix Booth. You can also barely make me out in the bottom right!
  
  
• The Life-size Al, minus his best Alchemist friend, Mizu: The Loli Alchemist
  
  
• Another angle of the nicely done Tenth Doctor we found
  
  
• An accidentally awesome shot of a Spy we saw!
  
  
• Community Booth during the signing period (Part 1)
  
  
• Community Booth during the signing period (Part 1)
  
  
• Fullmetal Alchemist display (Part 1)
  
  
• Fullmetal Alchemist display (Part 2)
  
  
• Pyramid Head -- very nice shot of it
  
  
• Anyone have any idea what this is from? Spink says: Guys with Topgun Flight Suits - Maverick on the Left, Goose in the Middle, and Iceman on the right. I'm assuming it's correct:)
  
  
• Big Pikachu, out to rape all the children! Pedochu, if you will.
  
  
• Mizu with Giant Raping Pikachu
  
  
• EvilMaverick with Giant Raping Pikachu (though, I think in this case EvilMaverick would be the top.)
  
  
• The best picture we got of Torgo & The Master. Super awesome
  
  
• That same scout from the end of my picture set
  
  
• Look at the License Plate that we found for EvilMaverick
  
  
• Make you hungry? I bet it does. It was delicious.

[Atreus]

Some people are telling me that this picture of a Chun-Li cosplayers is Olivia Munn. The resemblance is striking, and I'm inclined to agree--I have no way of confirming it though! Anyone have any thoughts?

[spink]

This picture is what makes me think it might be (is) Olivia Munn for reals.

http://www.oliviamunn.com/wp-content/ga ... li-win.jpg

[yyler]

no way

the cosplayer has different eyebrows, different chin, bigger breasts, etc

[CyberMonk]

Agreed; not Olivia Munn.

[Fried Gold]

Agreed; not Olivia Munn.

[Oz.]

I think that random panel in the second set of photos must be Hellboy-related. Pretty sure that's Ron Perlman on the left.

I think that panel may have been for Sons of Anarchy, I'm pretty sure the guy with long hair is the lead. Yup.

[flak]

I thought Sons of Anarchy for a second, but seeing as it's a comic book convention...maybe Hellboy?

Also, yeah, definitely not Olivia Munn. Interesting to imagine celebrities disguising themselves, but it makes sense.

[Fried Gold]

I'm assuming it's a common practice. Also, Comic-con is for pretty much anything nerdy, I don't really think Sons of Anarchy is nerdy though

[Oz.]

True enough, Sons of Anarchy is not nerdy in most sense, but apparently they did have a panel there. Now those two actor's uploaded pictures on Wiki are now from Comiccon >>
