Wow. Just read John's Otakon 2002 report. *whew*

Just have three comments:

1) No 't' in my last name!
2) You forgot to say that you thought I was stalking you back to your room. Heh heh heh. And "great?" Damn, that's embarassing! I think, "I was sorely disappointed at the complete exhausted mess of an AMV creator that greeted me at my door" would have been more accurate. :oops:
3) That WAS a kick-ass costume.

Thanks for the feedback Scott, one question though. Is it ok if I leave the "t" in it for now, cause it took two days to write the thing (11 pages long), and it would take hours just to go through again and change it?

I will go it tonight if I remember, but I just don't have that kind of time right now.

I think you missed the whole concept here. This video took place in an alternate reality
Well, yeah, we got that much. We understood the whole story and exactly what you were trying to convey. The only thing is that we couldn't figure out why. But alternate reality or not, most people I knew viewed them as Spike, Ryo, and Myung. Three characters from three separate shows who were, for some unknown reason, thrown together into a love triangle.

Hey, it's just our opinion. I still think it was an awesome editing job.

And thanks to everyone who gave me links to/names of videos I saw.

Kung Pow

Post by hackerzc » Wed Jul 31, 2002 4:04 pm

Hey guys, I just finish watching the movie "Kung Pow" for the first time and I all I kept thinking was "this could so be an anime fan parody". Well, if it was done to anime anyway. Very funny. Check it out.

I just did it to do something very different and try to tell an original story using familiar characters. Thanks for your comments...

I've just discovered this forum from an email I received, I attended Otakon 2002, I had alot of fun and I really liked some of the AMVs I saw during Otakon 2002. I hope that Otakon 2003 will be a lot of fun, let's hope it won't be very hot at Otakon 2003 like it was at Otakon 2001... It was very hot at Otakon 2001...
