Anime Expo 2013 (Los Angeles) - The Gaming Cosplay Part II

And here’s my other batch, folks.  These two sets encompass probably just 3% of the fantastic garbs I saw, but gimme a break, I was busy slinging t-shirts, man.

California was definitely an experience – I now know what “smog checks” are and I…I don’t know if I’m better for it.  The weather may have been super agreeable with its cool nights and breezy afternoons, but I’m glad to be back to my home state of Florida where a fine layer of sweat glues your clothes to your back eight months out of the year…

Actually, this place is a heap.  Time to blow this melted popsicle stand and return to the land where taxes are higher than the beautiful hillsides.  That’s right, I’m heading to San Diego Comic-Con.  On the off chance you are both attending and read this classy pimple of a blog on the internet’s back, come on down to the Glitch booth (right near the main gaming hub) and shake this typist’s hand.  Dressed in sweet gaming cosplay?  Bet your ass I’ll take an awful picture of you at no charge.

Pardon and forgive The Herb’s absence, friends.  It was a busy week for me and Glitch Gear what with our venture to the great West Coast.  Our destination?  The biggest anime convention in North America, of course; Anime Expo.

And, like my trip to Dallas, I turned a blind eye on all and every anime related cosplay, searching instead for those rocking their digital passion in the flesh: video game cosplayers.  As always, thanks to those who allowed me to tarnish their hard work by taking awful camera phone snapshots.

[Yes, I know Haruko doesn’t constitute as gaming cosplay, but in my defense, she was too awesome not to photograph.]
