Short synopsis, Kid plays a mean pin ball…. and a lot of other stuff to.

September 9 · 9:30pm – 11:30pm
ParkLane Empire Theatre

Thrillema is screening the 80s classic. Find yourself a nintendo power glove and lets all go to California! Well not actually, but will pretend at Parklane theatre Sept 9th!

Remember the days when you had to blow into your Nintendo to get it to work. Remember how angry that made you, now we just deal with machines that get a magic red circle that just cuts your system and fun off. Well I wish I could still blow into my machine, t…hey dont make machines like they used too, and they sure as hell dont make movies like they used too.
Thrillema is going to be celebrating the good old days by playing one of my favourite childhood films from the 80s THE WIZARD!
The movie that taught you how to get the warp whistle in Super Mario Bros 3, how to mac on a Red Head, and how the Power Glove is so bad.
Expect some Super Mario Bros 3 action to happen before the show.

Tickets $7. are available CASH ONLY

Time: September 6 · 11:00am – 4:00pm
Location: Starting in Victoria Park, Moncton NB

It’s Labour Day, and that means summer is nearly over! As somewhat of a last hurrah before fall begins, Picnicon will be holding a small get-together of whomever can come to have a small picnic and photoshoot.

Unlike Picnicon, this will be more loosely organised. Everyone is encouraged to come in costume as we will be having a photoshoot. We will be starting at Victoria Park and moving to other locations, weather permitting.

This …is an OC PICNIC, meaning you must be dressed as an original character! Preferably, your OC should be from something of your own creation. The theme is steampunk, meaning you are encouraged to dress in steampunk fashion but not required.

Brad, the Picnicon photographer, will be there to take photographs. $2 will get you a private photoshoot with him, and will get all of your pictures sent to you by e-mail. This $2 is going to go toward next year’s main Picnicon event. We will also be selling Picnicon buttons for $2 each, and we’ll be accepting contributions to the Official Picnicon 2011 Sunscreen Fund.

We suggest you bring food for yourself as this is a smaller picnic. However, if you want to bring something to share then please feel free! Bonus points if you make gear-shaped cookies!

There is only one rule for the OC picnic: NO MARY-SUES!

Snacks for sharing are always welcome, cupcakes are the official Anime @ Large meeting food of choice but other stuff is welcome too

Location: The Last Game Store – Lacewood Terminal
Date : Wednesday Sept. 1
Time: 7pm – 9:45 ish

7:00 pm: Let the games begin!

In honor of the release of the latest film in the Resident Evil franchise “Afterlife”, this AVM will not be an Anime Viewing Meet but an Awesome Video-gaming Meet.

The theme is Resident Evil/Zombie genre video games/Zombie themed games in general; so please, if anyone owns any Resident Evil video games, zombie video games and/or zombie board/table-top games, and if on top of that, you’re able to attend or (if you cannot attend) are willing to have someone bring your game(s) with them to this event, that would be awesome.

Also, if you could let us know in the comments section of this event page so we have a general idea of how many people are bringing games and who’s bringing what, that would be most appreciated.

If folks would also like to attend in cosplay as zombies or Resident Evil characters, you are very welcome to do so (in fact we encourage it, for we shall bring our cameras for some awesome photo-ops). Lay off on the fake blood though, don’t wanna get it all over everything.

Shoot #8: Hydrostone Market

So here’s how we do this thing. Every month we meet at a different location within the HRM. You can come dressed in cosplay or not, or you can come with a camera or not, it’s your choosing. Once there, those with cameras take pictures of those in cosplay and afterwards, they post them on Facebook.

Once there, the pictures can be voted on. What for you may ask? We’re doing a group calendar for 2011, w00…t! Sound like fun?

Sometime probably late December 2010 we will be putting out the Calendar to be ready for the new year Awesome huh?

Location this month: HYDROSTONE MARKET. We’re meeting on the grassy area in front of the shops. For those of you traveling by bus, you can either catch the “#7 Robie” from Downtown or the “#80 Halifax” from The Village at Bayers Road or Sackville Terminal.

Here’s the map: THE MAP

If you think you might be late, we’ll be from 1:00 PM until 1:45 PM before we start the shoot. If you’ll be later than that, please contact Marsha or Trevor so we can give you our phone number and so you don’t get lost.

Theme: Summer Shopping!
Time: 1:30 PM – 4:30 PM-ish

The event is open for everyone, cosplayers and photo takers or just the regular joe who wants to exist near awesomely cool people Make sure you come out! the most important thing is to have fun!

- Be Prepared for the weather: Umbrella, Jacket, winter coats whatever applies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We’re going to start y’all off with a few games, but the rest of the stations will be entirely open for everyone to bring their own games! We’ll announce a few systems that will be available, but if this is going to work we really need you guys to bring us the games you want to play! With that said, we have:

Tekken 6 (360) – There has been some interest in… getting a Tekken scene started so we decided to help these guys with some exposure. Try it out if you never played it before and even if you’re not a fan, give it a second chance. You never know, right?

Super Street Fighter IV (360) – Who doesn’t play a little Street Fighter, am I right?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (NES in the video challenge machine) – Catchy music and jump kicks for everyone!

Shmup station (360) – Deathsmiles, Raiden IV, 1-Up and more! See all the unique shmups local reviewer Serraxor has to show off!

Scott Pilgrim vs The World (PS3) – If the following video doesn’t explain why this should be awesome, then I don’t know what else to say ha ha. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAY4vNJd7A8

On top of those five games, we’ll have a Super Nintendo, a Nintendo 64 and a Dreamcast set up for people to bring and show off their favourite games. We might even have room for another system so let us know what you want and what you’re bringing!

See you all on the 15th!
