no i never actually went either

NOOOOOO!!! Sad Abe is Sad :blink:

What is AVCON and who is Cosplay?

AVCON = Anime & Video-game Convention, its actually Adelaide Anime & Video Game Convention - can't entirely remember, been ages since I volunteered there.

Cosplay = Costume Play, ie Dressing up as an Anime/Manga/Video Game Character.

I think I mentioned something about AVCON last year in the wasteland, lol.

EDIT: Anyone not feeling like working tomorrow, go to PJ O'Brian's tonight, AVCON should be having the after party there, mainly the volunteers and committee members. They used to have it there other years when I went, not sure about now.

Just happened to find these on my pc from 2006

For some reason, I could see female Ninjas :P

Fark how is it I have been to pretty much every brand lan ever held in Adelaide and am a bona-fide games geek, yet have never heard of this?

Can someone please give me a heads-up before it is on next year? Wouldn't mind going for a look at upcoming games technologies and smashing some n00bs at Starcraft II.

In that vein, who has pre-downloaded Starcraft II ready to activate when their key is released on Tuesday?

You won't really find that there, its more your retro games and consoles etc...however last year when I snuck in, they had a LAN tent (20 odd pcs, playing CSS). If you want games and tech, check out E-Games in November in Melbourne, been there twice, wasn't bad. Both times Sexpo was on nextdoor, so if you get bored of one, go to the other...but you will have to pay another entry fee.

Ok, so who's up for a end of Oct Melb SAU geek road trip? I could drive our comfy CRV over, all stay at my sister-in-law's place ....

edited - end of Oct, not Nov

Manifest!? Sure, why not.

They also have ban sticks :(

A group of 4 could easily do it leaving Fri evening 6pm, take turns in driving/watching movies/sleeping and arrive Melbourne 3am. Sleep until 10am and then head in to the Con. If it a 2 day pass could also go for a look on Sunday morning, then leave Melbourne 2pm and get back 10/11pm'ish Sunday night.

Sounds like a good weekend.

My GF sells her artwork in the Artist Alley every year at AVCon. She does very well and has attracted (as she puts it) “AVCon stalkers” who apparently go just to buy her artwork. Unfortunately I didn’t go this year due to other commitments but would have liked to go :) She’s planning to head to Manifest next year so I might come along with her.

    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
