Went to see the “The history behind Desucon”-presentation, with Espen and Alejandro, it was pretty entertaining, especially how Alejandro shows his utter contempt over stuff like Naruto, Bleach and especially Twilight, everytime they get mentioned.

Half an hour after that, I, nekoflaa, Sindre and Ole decide to go relax at Ryko’s (Ryko89 on youtube) AMV lounge, after about 2 hours watching AMVs with Ryko, me and Nekoflaa leave to do some stuff, I went to buy some stuff from Otacon (from japani.no), which we had decided on earlier.
To be more spesific, this:

‘Kimi Tsunagi Five M’, Asian Kung-Fu Generation’s first full-length album.
It’s not their best in my opinion, but it’s still pretty damn good. :3

And also, this:


Genshiken, awesome series.
There’s 9 volumes, so I’m still missing the two last ones, but I’ll get them in the near future most likely.
This is about otakus and comiket, if you like reading about stuff like that, I’d recommend these, or at least the anime. (Same name.)

Then we went back for one more hour of AMVs, before we decided to go do something else.
After that we just walked around everywhere, with no particular goal in mind, until the auction started.
Not a normal auction though, you could bid to keep or to destroy stuff.
With Alejandro (Which hates everything ) as a host this couldn’t be more perfect.
All the money went to a good cause ofc.
There was three really good parts, one can’t be explained though.
The other two was when they cut a twilight poster in two with a katana, and when some (obviously crazy) guy bid 1000kr (about $160) for destroying a $15 hello kitty doll by himself.
That is, first beheading it with a katana before shredding it to pieces with his own hands, that was some pretty strong hate right there.
The twilight poster thing is up on youtube.

After that it was pretty quiet until the ending show, which had stuff like caramelldansen on stage with Maid crew and organizers, and some coplay event were people had to introduce themselves as the characters they cosplayed, ‘Shookie monster’ (Cookie monster) won, with especially Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez doing a good job aswell in my opinion, but Elmo was awesome, so incredibly in-character.
Edit: Video

After that it was pretty much over, I went over to Neo-Tokyo’s stand where Kenneth had something which was kinda a surprise for me:


Yes, the newest game in the Touhou series (Touhou 12.3th) Touhou Hisōtensoku.
Oh and it has an actual character printed on the cd, I think that’s a first. (Though, I don’t have every Touhou game yet, only about 2/3 of them, so don’t take my word on that.)

After that I went home and to sleep, which I really needed.
Money used in total: 3800kr ($670)
Now I’m eagerly awaiting (My wallet isn’t though ) next Desucon, which will be in the summer 2010.

Pictures from the event itself will get it’s own post when I get them (and upload them).

Starting of with: (Everything will be named from left to right, starting in the top left corner of the picture)

Gallhammer – Ruin of a Church [DVD] (I still don’t like them that much though, it’s just that I have their previous stuff )
Apocalyptica – The Life Burns Tour [DVD] (Apocalyptica is just awesome, or atleast unique)
Apocalyptica – Enter Sandman (Live in Düsseldorf)

Some Beatles documentary, I like it.

Dir en grey – Uroboros [CD] (Their newest album, it’s pretty good, not my favorite though)
Dir en grey – It Withers and Withers [DVD]
Dir en grey – A Knot Of [DVD]

I found a lot of CDs from MUCC, so here:

MUCC – 6 [CD]
MUCC – Homura Uta (葬ラ謳) [CD]

MUCC – Kyutai (球体) [CD+DVD]
MUCC – Kyutai -Sphere- (球体 -sphere-) [CD+DVD]
MUCC – Shion (志恩) [CD+DVD][Limited Edition]
I’m not completely sure what’s up with those Kyutai albums, I figured they would be Edition A and Edition B, but it seems like they are 2 different versions of Edition A. (I think?)

Pendulum – Hold your colour [CD] (Their best album in my opinion)
Pendulum – Live at Brixton Academy [CD+DVD] (Haven’t seen it yet)
Pendulum – In Silico [CD] (Honestly, not that good, in comparison to Pendulum’s other albums)
That means I have all their releases as of now
Pendulum – Slam

Girugämesh – Girugämesh [CD] (Only missing one album by Girugämesh now)
D’espairs Ray – Mirror [CD]
An Cafe – Harajuku Dance Rock [CD+DVD] (Harajuku just reminds me of that shitty Gwen Stefani who stole the name of the most awesome style in the world and made some shitty crap out of it oh why, why couldn’t you just fuck off. An cafe on the other hand, is awesome)

Eluveitie – Slania (Tour Edition) [CDx2]
Metal with a bagpipe, how can you not love it
Eluveitie – Inis Mona

HORSE the band – The Mechanical Hand [CD] (HORSE the band – A Million Exploding Suns)

I randomly bought these, Decay just felt….broken (I don’t know how to word it) and monster-0 was quite boring.

Mana

Live at Wacken ’07 (Limited edition) [DVDx3+backstage pass+one of those thingies you can sew to your pants, I don't know what they're called] (Wacken… need I say more?)

Well, that’s about it, atleast for the music. the rest will be following tomorrow.

Now I have videos of Taiko, DJmax and Stepmania, I’ll probably do Beatmania, Guitar hero and possibly Ouendan sometime.

And I got a few games from the bargain bin at gamestop, WC2 Battle.net edition, Diablo 1 (Which was 7kr, about 1$ :3) and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell – Double Agent.

And I got a PSP to Component\Composite cable, I tried it out on my TV and it works just fine
I filmed it, I’m uploading it to YT now.

I’m trying to contact the guys over at surround.no, because I’m gonna a buy some new speakers, but damn, those guys don’t pick up the phone, neither do they answer their email.

The end of TG09.

Got my Dreamcast to work again :3
I finished Rez and I’m starting to get decent scores on Triggerheart exelica. (Never played any of them)

LVL’ed to 10 on DJmax 2 portable

Oh, and I’m on my second playthrough of RE5 :3
