GNA Chronicles: May

Hey home skillets, this has been filled with so much geekery and yet I've had so little time to partake. I have a feeling that this wont change in the next week or two as I have two events to go, but best believe these events are going to be awesome. I'm really excited to check them out; you'll hear more about them later! Here's my GNA Chronicles for May.

Video Games
Rune Factory 4
This game is soooooooo good. It has pretty much all of the video game genres I like in one from farming sim to elements of Pokemon and RPG goodness. I actually stopped playing it to give Story of Seasons a go. Now I want to stop SOS and got back to Rune Factory. I'm gonna hold off a little longer because I feel like I haven't put enough time into SOS. 

Story of Seasons
A few of you know that I have been waiting for this game to come out for awhile. While I have enjoyed the game so far, the prologue is dragging a little too long for me. I believe I'm on the last day and will get my farm soon. But I've actually taken a break from playing. I need to pick it back up >_< I bought Boba Witcher 3 yesterday, so I'll most likely resume this game tonight while he plays.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
Not too much to report on this game right now. I've heard great things about the Monster Hunter series, so I decided to give it a go.

Anime
Ore Monogatari
I blame Tiffany for getting me addicted to this sugary goodness of an anime. This anime, oh man this anime has drop kicked my in my feels it's soooooo good! It follows the story of Takeo Goda's first love. I really love all the characters, and it's great to see someone's first love blossom. The unconventional story line is amazing. It's also really hilarious! I remember hearing about seeing art from the manga prior to watching and really didn't pay it any attention. The need to watch it was so bad that ya girl signed up for Cruncyroll which to be honest I should have done a long time ago. We also watched an episode of Gekkan Shojo Nozaki kun and The Rose of Versailles after we binge watched Ore Mono.

Comic Books
Jem and the Holograms
I decided to pick this up on Memorial Day because I am a huge fan of the cartoon. This comic is amazing and I read all three in one day. I can't wait for the next comic to come out. Everything about it is really good. I wish I could actually hear the songs because the lyrics are awesome. I wonder if they'll actually make the songs and provide links to them. I recently bought the first trade of the Bee and Puppycat comic and they was a story in there about a music box. They added QR codes for each music box that would take you to a link for the song on YouTube.

Cartoons
Steven Universe
Tiffany is also to blame for this one haha This show is so amazing. It's often on my Tumblr dash, and I hadn't paid it any attention. I really should have watched it a lot sooner. The characters are amazing, and I'm really excited to catch up.

TV Shows
Daredevil
Netflix is winning with their original shows. Their take on Daredevil is amazing; I love the main actor and remember watching him in Stardust. Boba and I haven't finished it yet, but we plan on finishing it soon.

That's it for me! I'm gonna enjoy the rest of this day, and I hope you all do as well^^

New York Comic Con 2014| Photo Heavy

Hi everyone^^ Work has been kicking my booty due to a trip to Florida. I didn't even really get to enjoy the weather as it was chilly down there, and I wasn't properly dressed -_- Anywho, I wanted to write about my experiences at this year's New York Comic Con. It was a lot of fun! I opted not to cosplay because I was so burnt out from trying to secure tickets which was a nightmare. I was only able to go on Friday *pouts* but I'm still happy that I was able to go. Let's hope next year isn't as difficult, but I'm not holding out too much hope for that considering the conventionis getting more and more popular. I'll be going to Anime Next in the summer which will only be my second convention, so I'm really excited. So far I've only been to NYCC. Warning there will probably be a ton of pictures in this post lol

They had these really huge blow ups outside from Teen Titans. I thought it was really cute and definitely set the geeky atmosphere.
I went with Boba and his sister, and it was lots of fun! This was my first time going on a Friday, and I was really excited We were going to meet a few friends once we got there, but it was the three of us for a good bit of the time. We all rocked nerdy tees.
My Ninja Turtles tee
Boba and his sister Ana in their nerdy tees; Also, he is so freakin adorbs!

We made our way over to one our fav booths. It's for a modular bag designer; the brand name is Equilibrium and their bags are awesome and super comfy. Boba bought one from them last year and he still loves it. He even wore it to the convention; we ended up switching bag because my bag was a little rough on my back and his Equilibrium bag feels amazing. He's such a sweetie!
Boba and Rae

My bestie Rae (she's the gf of my wifey Laura) met up with us around 11:30. I actually attended my first panel with her. I've only been on Saturdays and never wanted to attend a panel because you usually have to fight to get in and fight to get out. And since I would only be there one day I didn't want to spend it waiting in line for panels. There was a huge turn out for this WOC of color in Comics panel which was a great surprise! The women on the panel were amazing, it's a wonderful first panel experience.

Swag alert!
I bought Boba this really cool Nintendo controller case. It was only ten bucks which was a steal. I looked on Hot Topic's website and it was $30 bucks. You can actually press the buttons^^ And Boba bought me a Cat Bug plushie!
There were some really awesome cosplayers as usual. I know a lot of people go hard on Saturday, so I can only imagine the level of awesomeness. I actually ran into Heir of Glee in her Storm cosplay. She is really beautiful and nice, and I can't believe I forgot to ask to take a pic with her.
When you're tired at the convention, hit that geek squat, hit that geek squat

We actually ended up staying at the convention for the whole day. If anyone decides to do this I highly recommend going out for lunch just to get a break from the convention. We went to the a nearby burger place, got off our feet for a bit, and then went back. I don't think we would have lasted all day if we had pulled a marathon.
Me and Ana
Can we talk about how I freakin loves this show and need to continue watching it. I am seriously slacking on my anime and Asian drama game.
So ready for the live action of this anime
There was actually someone inside of this. They would just stand there and wait for kids to come up and pose for a pic. Then they would move and scare the kids haha
Come and get your bag of yaoi!

The last thing we did was attend the Sailor Moon panel at 8 pm. I thought that it was going to be a cool discussion about the show, but it was just a screening for the new dub. I wish they would have wrote that, but I didn't mind too much because I haven't seen any of the show.
It was the best NYCC I've been to and I can't wait to go next year. Let's just hope people find the chill when hunting their tickets because this year was cray at the stores. I will not be doing that again, no ma'am.  The vendors and the guest list were amazing. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us in 2015.  Thanks for reading!
