Today has been a day that I shall remember. I visited Earl's Court Exhibition centre for one of the biggest game convention in London. Since I'm a weirdo, I cosplayed a Spartan from Halo and many thought it's pointless, but I got a lot of positiveness from people when I walked around. People took photos, gave me free stuff and allowed me to play a game on an epic huge screen. I lost though.
The food at the place could not be more expensive. I brought a small bottle of Sprite and a portion of chips which cost me almost 5 pounds. I was ultra hungry however and didn't have much choice. It was possibly the only let down of the day.
I got to play 2 matches of Halo 4. The 1st was Free-for-all and the person who played before me messed up the controls and I couldn't play at all. Came 4th in the end. The second game was team slayer and my team won with me being the MVP. The controls were set right that time. I also got to play some random PSVita games, Minecraft, The walking dead, PES 2013, Random racing games and more random games. The queues were long for some of these, but the wait was worth it.
I also got to meet Mater Chief in person. A 2 metre tall cosplayer dressed up as my favourite video game character. It was like a dream come true. I got some pictures taken as well as a video. I had a friend of mine record for me which I'm really glad for. I give him credit for that. With the photos/videos he recorded, I made a montage of what I saw during this day. The video can be viewed here --> London Eurogamer September 2012
The next convention I'm heading to is MCM expo on the 27th of October.
