Picture Kaleidoscope - AllCon 2016

This past weekend we were at ALLCon 2016!

Energizer bunny!

New setup we tried out for AllCon. Have an extra side table to give us more room. :)

Not your typical caped crusaders. :P

Umbrella Corp Security - Japan branch. They mean business! :P

Who said skeletons can't be cool? :)

Clockwork woman! You can see her gears! Eek!

Steampunk Scottish Soldier. He looks swank!

Virtual Tourist - COGS 1/26/14

Morning, all!

Stumbled over a new little puzzle game last week. Has an awesome steampunk look and feel to it. And it's terribly cute. Multidimensional yet at the same time old fashioned puzzles. The pipe ones remind me of a game hubbins and I played eons ago. This new game is called COGS.

You get graded on the solution, time it took to solve, and number of moves. Collecting the stars opens up more puzzles. 

In Invention Mode you get the list of puzzles on one side and then an explanation of the particular highlighted puzzle on the right.

Beginning of the puzzle

When I completed it. Many of the puzzles have a result - for this one, it's filling up the balloon.

A 4 sided puzzle! Each side affected the next one! Crazy stuff!

Make all the bells stop ringing - not as simple as it sounds!!!

Make the clocks move at the same speed. This one almost did me in. Some of the special cogs did not play with each other. 

Pipe matching goodness!

Is this game cute or what? Available for just about all electronic devices. We got the PC version.
Have a great day!

Picture Kaleidoscope 11/6/13 - The Octopodicon Edition

Electronic device issues have somewhat messed up my schedule. Work (RL) isn't helping much either! lol.

But this past weekend I took a couple of extra days off and slummed at Octopodicon!
Loads of neat things to see there.

The Embassy Suites had a lot of cool lamps and some neat architecture. Loved this one as it looked like an upside down sea anemone holding onto its top. 

Octopodicon trophies for various contests

Homemade miniature blimp

More cool hotel lamps

The Mushroom Peddler had some amazing figurines!

Aren't they all just adorable?

Dreamers Leatherwork had amazing stuff done in leather and partially painted. He doesn't have a website though. :(

Adorable figures for a game still in process of being created. Too cute!

I believe this gorgeous bracelet was from Steamer Trunk Treasure. 

Funky architecture in the hotel's restaurant

You could pay to have your friends put in jail. Heh heh.

Gotta run!

Picture Kaleidoscope 6/6/12 - The Akon 23 Edition

Prepare yourselves! A ton of costume pics to share from A-kon. The bar was truly high on costumes this year. Totally awesome! (And who knows how many I didn't get shots of too) (And my camera settings go bumped...so some of these did not come out as they should have - waaaaahhhhh! Deleted the worst ones out. Sniff.)
