CosplayBytes – Details, episodes & analysis

It's my favorite time of the year where I get to hang out with Mink the Satyr for an hour plus & talk about our time at PAX East! Join us for a fun conversation about what we saw, what we played, who took all our money and other fun stories. From cosplaying as obscure characters to odd times at dinner. It really is a treasure getting to have Mink on again when we do these recaps. Not to mention other topics like the cosplay room/repair station, standout booths & the cosplays that dominated the Expo Hall. Really hope you all enjoy this talk :)

So we didn't really have a topic to discuss but I love any chance i get to talk with Saturnxne so we jumped through a lot of topics! More stuff about my Japan trip (which we later found after recording that the last time we did an episode, I had gotten back from the trip!), the games we've been playing, her convention hopefuls over in the states and a whole lot more. Seriously can talk with Saturnxne about so much and I already can't wait to have her on again later this year at some point :)

I can't recall if I've ever done an episode regarding MAGFest, so I'm extremely excited to not only have that for you today but with a twist! I'm joined by Lance/Toaster as he details what it's like staffing the event as part of the A/V crew. Particularly going into detail about the arcade section of the con. Learn what goes into a job like this with controlling a myriad of lights as well as his thoughts on how the convention scene has changed from when he first started going to now. This was a really insightful conversation and I hope you all enjoy :)

What better way to kick off June than with some swimsuit fun times! I'm joined by my friend Azumii Cosplay as we talk about her time at Colossalcon this year. Based at a water park, it's essentially a giant haven for swimsuit versions of any character you can possibly think of! We also go into detail on some of her past cosplays PLUS go on a Blizzard rant! :D
