Solidad attends Yaoi Con

In my endless pursuit of finding a non traditional convention. It has come to my attention that aside from commercially driven, cosplay enriched profit oriented event, such as Ozine Fest, Toy Con, or other well known “Anime” conventions spewing on the radar. There is one small, yet interesting (for fujiyoshi that is) convention will take place this April. Unfortunately, it happens that it will be their last as well. Alas such spectacle should never be left unnoticed.

Lights Out, the 6th and final Philippine Yaoi Community convention, will take place this April 24, at the Lepanto Penthouse of the 21st floor of the Lepento building. Slots are limited, and ticket priced at an interesting 300 pesos. The ticket is inclusive of  their well renowned butler cafe, called Cafe Le Mirage.

Other activities (incentives) include film screening, a manga library, a doujin dealers room, and raffle prizes. expect that most of the contents are geared toward BL, yaoi fanbase. (This might be the only convention that i may actually spend money).

However, take note, that admission is limited. In order for you, or your group to enter such a fine unique convention, is to email their moderator. For details, and for the original link to the event, click here to see.

If you’re wondering why i would attend on such an unusual event? It’s because: A)Sick and tired of crowded conventions, flooded with too many cosplay people. B) I appreciate Yaoi/BL/Shota genres, because of its exotic storyline. Something that has more effort than traditional/conventional adult anime genre.

I almost forgot. This is an adult convention, so 18 and above only.

Are site time widgets important?

I’m no web design guru. But I can tell efficient design to somewhat waste full. I’ll say that this opinion may come of personal reference. Yet, I would like to share this point to my dear readers. Certainly, websites usually put some kind of time telling apps, which enables readers to check whether their respective times. Honestly I find that somewhat, unnecessary. Here is why.

A Post-Apocalyptic postcard from Sin City

Surely anybody who hears the city of Las Vegas, usually thinks of gambling, and all night party. Surely, the city has been dubbed as the sin city, and what comes in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Unfortunately, the people from Bethesda are not keen in keeping the secrets of such a sinful city. Obsedian Entertainment, known for its Neverwinter Series, has released its first gameplay screenshots of their new venture title (not necessarily new to most of the employees of Obsedian). From critically acclaimed successful comback cult classic, action adventure, open world, 50’s post apocalyptic reference, Fallout 3. Comes a new Spin off (more likely a better 3rd sequel) Fallout title coming this fall 2010, called Fallout: New Vegas.

The people at Joystiq was able to obtain such preview to the upcoming game. Which somewhat, sadly resembles their old game fallout 3. There is nothing bad on using their old engine, but i would expect more from the people from Bethesda, and more so the people from Obsedian; where most of its workforce were former employees of the famous Black Isle studios. Responsible for creating the 2 cult classic fallout games. Nevertheless, we hope to see the ambiance and the feel of a western apocalyptic wasteland which surrounded the first two fallout games. I would expect that Playstation release of this game will be as buggy as its predecessor was. I just hope they prove me wrong.

Lastly, seeing a super mutant on a blonde wig, and heart shape sunglassess…priceless.
