So, I just got back from NYCC/NYAF and decided to post pictures from the journey there and the awesome experience we had. There'll also be some pictures from my friends who went with me, as well as some from the very awesome Tagball.
Anyway, here they go:
Xspyhunter24 (AKA Jagade) still asleep.
Just picked up I Resurection I (AKA Galen) who's still quite asleep.
Picked up DC.Justinian (AKA Luke).
After picking everyone up:
Jagade fell asleep almost instantly after beginning the trip.
Galen's more awake now (thanks to the soda at 8:00AM).
Luke's practically wide awake (but refuses to look at the camera).
Not even an hour into the trip we got lost and spent 15 minutes trying to find our way back on course. The GPS was completely useless but eventually we found where we were supposed to go.
Sadly, we forgot the camera in the car so there's a good few hour gap in between those pictures and now. Once I figure out how to get pictures off my phone and Galen posts pictures, this gap will get filled in. Here's what it consisted of though:
Upon finally arriving and finding parking me and Jagade got into costume (Ivan from Golden Sun and Louis from Left 4 Dead, respectively) we got to the Con and waited in line about 20 minutes (if that) redeem our receipt for passes.
We got in and the first thing we did was find the Escapist booth to deliver the cake we had baked them (there will be pictures of it eventually). We talked to them for a few minutes and got some mad extraz (loot/swag) before checking out the rest of the con. The Escapist staff are awesome people and we each got an Imp plushie from them (Thanks!).
Found somewhere for lunch around 1:00 and spent about 45 minutes eating (damn lines). We finally met up with my mom and I retrieved a camera.
Afterwards I went back to the Escapist booth with Galen while Luke and Jagade drank a couple too many 5 Hour Energies. I wanted to get pictures with Greg Tito and Susan Arendt. Susan sadly wasn't there at the time but Greg was just as (if not more (Ooh, office competitiveness))cool.
Me caught mid-laugh (terrible face, I know. How do you like my red eyes?) with Greg (who was really awesome). Also, the only picture of my costume.
Greg Tito was wearing one of these and I had to buy one. I love it.
It was at that point that one of the women from GamePro (I think) approached us with this poster. Saying that it was one of kind and asked us if we wanted it. Who wouldn't?
I decided I didn't have enough room for it in my room so Galen got to take it home with him.
After departing from the Escapist booth we met up with Luke and Jagade (who were well off their rockers) and decided to head towards Artist's Alley. There's not any pictures from there though as nobody bought anything and there was nothing that I just had to take pictures of.
However, we did meet a really cool Blade cosplayer on the way there.
Luke and Jagade ran off again (this time to do the Vitamin Water Roulette thing) and me and Galen shot off a few more pictures.
A Michael Jackson dance game for the Wii. There's a Batman and Batwoman up there, but they're hard to see. Here's a poster for the game:
A crazy expensive statue (it was huge though), available for the low price of $24,000. I don't even know what it is (if anyone can tell me, that would be awesome).
Some very weird mascots for "Ugly Dolls". I don't know what those are but the costumes were weird enough to warrant pictures.
We also got to see some stuff from the Green Hornet movie. Specifically, the motorcycle and car (with chain guns). Sorry for the blurriness, the caffeine was kicking in (finally).
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn poster (which I got to play the demo of). The game was pretty awesome. Can't wait for it to come out.
Lelouch and C.C. I chased after them to get this picture.
And finally:
Kingdom Hearts re:coded. There was a demo too (I think) but we didn't play it.
I took this just for you TimeLord [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/TimeLord]!
Phantasy Star Portable 2 poster, if you can't read it.
A Yoshi plushy my mom got for my younger sister, sitting with one of the girl Imps, on our stove (only spot with decent lighting).
All the bumper stickers my mom got. She said that these alone made the trip worth it for her. She really likes Wheel of Time.
If you want to see some of the pictures I didn't post (mostly just extras). Here is my Photobucket Album [http://s332.photobucket.com/albums/m329/error_on_page/New%20York%20Comic%20Con/]
Please post any pictures you have. The more the merrier.

I started taking pictures like crazy. Most of these pictures were taken in the last 2 hours of the Con.
I bought this shirt and then almost regretted it when I found this:
Awesome Code Geass shirt! There was text under the picture that said "Obey". I had just blown money on the Portal shirt though, so I wasn't able to get it.
Cobra Commander was giving out free hugs! How nice!
