MegaCon 2010 = Awesomeness (Part 2: The Videos)

So here are a couple videos from my MegaCon experience. The first is of the sword fighting going on. You'll remember the picture from part one of the guys sword fighting. Here's 2 videos of them doing it.

You'll notice in the first that at the end, they argue over where Backpack got hit. Tubby believes it was on the upper shoulder, which as everyone knows is a fatal blow. Backpack thinks it was lower, on the upper arm, which is of course only a flesh wound causing Backpack to finish the fight with only one arm.



Now Tubby has a new challenger: Mr. Time-Confused. Notice the 21st century red t-shirt and jeans and the 18th century samurai pants (which ironically were made in a 21st century factory).



And last, but by no means least, a video of the "Capital Battle Ship Game". I believed upon entering MegaCon and seeing the sword battles, that nothing in the world could possibly reach a level of geekdom higher than what I had already seen. Then I saw these guys. I do a pretty good job of explaining in the video, so just watch, enjoy, and roll on the floor.



If that wasn't bad enough, check out this picture I took shortly after. Its a little difficult to see, but that yellow strip on the ground that they are staring at is a tape measure. Apparently, starships are only allowed to attack if they are within so many inches of the main ship.

There's also the geek side of me that would like to point out that having a starship battle in two dimensional space is somewhat pointless. You would think the ubber geeks would know that.















Until next time, Nice Gravy to you all.
