About the event ...
With a wide selection of talks and seminars on gaming culture, Licence2Play is targeted at professional and casual gamers of all ages and competency levels.I love playing games and played lots of Maple Story in the past, so I decided to go to the fair to take a look. Knowing that the event was going to have cosplayers gave me extra motivation to go there heh. So on Saturday, I forced my group mates who were going to do our group project in my house to stopover there before heading to my house. I was excited, I wanted to take many photos of cosplayers and post it here, but at the end of the day, I can only post one photo lol. Notice that the title of this post is "Licence 2 Play Cosplay Pic and Videos" and not Cosplay Pics ha ha. If you were expecting to see lots of pictures here, pai sei .... tricked ya!

Anyway here is the only clear picture I have out of the 5 pictures I took lol ... but there is a boy blocking the girl .... I must be the lousiest photographer ever!
Reason (ahem excuse) for only having one picture:
When we reached the License 2 Play fair, it seems like most of the cosplayers were having a break. Though there were still quite a few of them around I felt a little pai sei to take their pictures as the other guys taking seemed so pro with their big ass DSLR cameras. I only had a normal digital camera which I borrowed from Shawn and was a little reluctant while being surrounded by professional looking photographers lol. You know it's something like going to a gun fight with a sword or driving a shitty car in a car race against super cars. It's not like I'm Takumi from Initial D.
The cosplayers probably prefer to pose for those carrying the pro looking cameras anyway as they will look better in the photos (you spend so much on your camera, sure at least have some standard right he he) and maybe some of the photographers are from the media heh. So at the end, I only took 5 pictures, all of them taken without the presence of pro photographers. It was at an Asiasoft event where most of the people around were kids.
