Although the Games Convention Asia (GCA) 2009 ended last Sunday (20th September), I didn’t have enough time to post on some of my pictures I took during the 3rd day of the event.. Hope you guys like them.. The cosplayers were really awesome and I thanked them for their great effort in making and cosplaying their respective characters well.. ^^
Like previous years, I’ve decided to pay a visit to the Games Convention Asia 2009 held at the Suntec Convention Centre.. The event was held at Hall 401, at the far end of the convention hall.. Although I was kind of expecting something epic from this year’s event due to good experiences from previous ones, I was however disappointed.. More on that after the jump..

At last, the cosplay. It’s sad I have to use a borrowed picture for the header image.
Then again, I didn’t go outside to take pictures of the cosplay, so I never actually saw her. She’s earned “t3h cut3n3ss” award from me. orz
I met up with Feidamu and we scour around for any signs of cosplayers.. Fortunately in the wee hours of the convention, we spotted a Lich King cosplayer who is apparently, Fei’s friend.. So I took some shots of the Lich King with his “short-handed” Frostmourne..
Well, the photographers thinks the same way too.. This might be one of the good loli cosplayers around since Loli Haruhi from CosFest.. ^^
Examples are the Head-Crab character from the game “Half-Life 2″..
And some of the audience favourite’s, Lelouch..
4th Place: Kasumi for “DOA”.. Prize is a Gaming Chair..
Then there was the Soul Eater group.. I saw Death the Kidd and the Thompson Twins.. Though not synchronize.. Pity didn’t have a shot of Tsubaki..
The convention was partially covered with cosplayers who want to show their outfit and also to join in the CosCon competition which I will show you all later.. So anyway, I went there with my brother, Infestor51, together with his friend, TX at about 10.30am..
We continued walking around and took more pictures of cosplayers who started to stream in at about 12pm.. Enjoy the pictures.. ^^
Well, I expected Loli Illyasviel von Einzbern cosplayer or Illya for short to return but what I didn’t expect was that there is a Loli Saber too.. O.o
Yes, you heard me right, there are now two Lolis from the Fate/Stay Night series.. Their dress looks nice and pretty that they got praised by some people when they walked around..

Well, even the SWAT team and Delta Force group were there to show everyone their stuff.. I like how their weapon looks, so accurately real..
Ok at about 2pm+ it was time for the CosCon competition.. Well, I didn’t expect the cosplayers to be great but I was slightly wrong.. Well, lets move on to CosCon copmpetiton..
CosCon Competition:
There are about 20 cosplayers who took part in the competition.. There were some weird and downright ugly cosplayers but there were some that was unique and interesting..
The Blood Elf from World of Warcraft..
The Knight Templar from the game “Hellgate London”..
FOR THE LIVING!!
So firstly the 20 cosplayers are cut down to 10 finalists.. After that, the 4 winners are chosen from the 10 finalists.. The Top 4 winners are as follow:
3rd Place: Blood Elf.. Prize is a Gaming Chair too..
2nd Place: Lich King from WoW.. Prize is a Wii..
1st Place: The Hulk in Armour aka Thrall.. This is the best prize EVER!! The prize is a ticket to BlizzCon2008 at California..
After that, its back to cosplay photoshoot.. Enjoy.. ^^
Well, at least my my question have been answered when I saw some decent Vocaloid cosplayers.. There were the Kagamine Twins..
But thanks to Ruby-san, I finally saw the best picture of Miku-chan.. She was there during the convention.. Although I took my own pictures of Miku, the pictures weren’t as good as the other better photographers..
Picture taken from SGCafe..
Best shot during the convention.. Panther with CI and Akabane..
And the result?? xD
Picture of Hinagiku from Hayate no Gotoku.. Looks great.. ^^
Well, if cosplayers aren’t enough of you, there are the models in the convention.. if you want to see more, do check Panther’s blog.. That lucky Panther.. xD
Well, this wraps up the post about the cosplay event.. Hope you get to enjoy the oics in this entry.. If you want to see a full collection of the pictures I took during the convention, do check it out here..
It is a pity that Ruby-san couldn’t finish her costume in time for CosCon @ GCA08.. Well, there are upcoming events in the coming months.. More later on.. As for now, I shall go do on my Wordpress page..
Treating GCA as an entire event instead of separate days seems to be the best approach now, so I’ll do just that.
This part will continue covering gaming and gadgets where part 1 left off (duh), while cosplay’s reserved for the 3rd part.
Once again, because I can’t help but collapse at night after my daily nightly prayers at the mosque, I couldn’t blog about the first day of GCA, so I guess a double blog post will do.
