All on cosplay news, convention coverage, nerdy bits and bytes. Plus a look inside the lives of various content creators!

CosplayBytes

I wanted to make this impromptu episode to sort of vent about the frustrations I've been having with my show since the last episode. Difficulties in booking guests and immense feelings of being unwanted in the cosplay space. I also talk about the possibility of having this new season of the show be its last depending on the content output I'm able to manage. I apologize if this does seem like I'm whining a lot but I've just had these feelings for awhile and wanted a space to let them run free.

Where Do We Go From Here

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 :)

MAGFest 2025

Thank you for joining me for today's episode. While convention season is still very much underway, I wanted to take some time and talk about my trip to Japan that just happened a few weeks ago. It was quite the experience and something I'll never forget. Hope you enjoy, and thank you to those that watched live on Twitch!

Japan 2025

I got the opportunity to not only play Good Story Guild’s first ever game—Cat Secretary—but also a chance to interview the devs describing what they wanted to bring to the table with this game. Did you know they also do podcasts? Learn about what they took from that outlet and apply it to their game!

PAX East 2025: Good Story Guild Interview

Oh man did we cover a lot in this episode! My annual catch up with Emris Coscept is here and we had so much to say. In addition to the teases of my eventual PAX East episode, Emris went into detail about SakuraCon and how it was done this year. Questionable details aside, she talks about how her cosplays were a surprise hit, the scope of Artist Alley and other cosplays seen! Then I ended up going over my Japan trip for them as they've been previously and we compared notes on what we did. Again, it feels really good to be creating content for this show again, i hope you all enjoy this near 2hr long chat!

Emris Coscept & SakuraCon 2025!

It's been a really long time since I last had KarnageCos on the show and let me tell you how amazing it was! Just us going on about the various conventions they've been to since pretty much the start of last year. Mostly focusing on the ones where she was invited as an official creator/guest but it was still a TON! I was really amazed at the type of conventions she attended. We also go into a lot of convention comparisons and even comparing the various states/areas of Australia to what their U.S. counterpart would be. Bet you weren't expecting to hear a lot about Australia's own Texas right? I get all sappy when it comes to having super long episodes with friends I really cherish so enjoy us catching up for 2.5 hours <3

Catching Up With KarnageCos!

I'm happy to share my full PAX East 2025 recap episode! Joined as always by my friend & cosplayer/streamer Mink the Satyr, we go over pretty much everything we can think of. From stand out booth designs, the mainstays and of course the games. We also talk about panels, the cosplay space, Red Bull sponsoring the Creator/Media areas, our respective swag and FOOD! So much food consumed in the span of 3 days. This convention always feels like home to me so I hope you guys enjoy this talk I got to have with Mink :)

PAX East 2025

In this Episode, Mink the Satyr and I talk about her times at PAX East along with reminiscing about past shows. Many tangents, technical difficulties and a new format debut here! Panel discussion as well as the state of the con and how the gaming industry appeared there.

Katsucon 2018

For this episode, I'm joined by my downstairs neighbor Munkey as I picked his brain a bit and described what it's like traveling to conventions and dressing up for various weekends. Having never been to a con, Munkey is certainly interested in breaking that barrier and seeing what makes conventions so much fun. I chat about my trips to cons like PAX East and NYCC briefly alongside his origins being into pop culture. Funny enough, it all started with Ninja Turtles for him! We also do a mini game of sorts in guessing the powers and affinity of Marvel characters we've never heard of :D.
