Last weekend we went to a huge "geek-con" MCM Expo. I went to a couple of anime cons in Russia, but those were really tiny comparing to this one. It was really amazing. Many people were cosplaying, and I spotted a lot of really cool costumes. What I liked in particular is that there were disabled people wearing wonderful costumes. You won't see one at any of Russian cons, and that's sad.

Now a tiny bit of squee. I've seen Gareth David-Lloyd, the actor who played Ianto in Torchwood. He smiled to me and posed for a photo (especially for me as well). The worst part of it is that I forgot to take my camera with me, and my mobile phone only takes good pictures if you don't zoom in. I forgot about it, and as a result I've got a terribly blurry picture. Oh well.

Another bit of squee is that I've finally got the first Hobby Base Urd figurine, the one from the initial OVA. How I wish that my other "big" figures were here with me... It's a bit odd, but I feel attached to my small collection. I don't miss my manga or anime, but I do miss my Urd and Hild figurines.

The game was stolen by pirates and released on torrents. My first thought was "Oh, what a pity that I can't download it", but then I saw players' screenshots and those were just ugly. Pictures provided by EA games were carefully selected, and now we can see how bad things really are. I guess I'll buy the game eventually, but it doesn't impress me at all yet.

Yesterday I installed Oblivion and Shivering Isles again. This is the "open world" Sims 3 should have, not that cardboard imitation.
