ACen Adventures | ACen 2005 Pictures

These are all 339 pictures taken by the ACen Guys at Anime Central 2005. This year was very lackluster with the pictures, but there are some gems here and there. As every year, every single picture has a commentary from ACen Guy Brown (Matt) and occasional comments by ACen Guy EricB (Eric), ACen Gal Jill (Jill), ACen Guy Jimjitsu (Jim), ACen Guy Ronin (Joe), ACen Guy Masamune (Chris), ACen Guy Scarecrow (Kevin), and ACen Guy Zeltron (Bob). We hope you enjoy this years pictures and our gradual descent into pornography. Also please be patient as the pictures may take a while to load.

We were in line for about a half hour and we started to get bored. Then Jim (Jimjitsu) realized that he had a tape measure on him. So he and Bob (Zeltron) started to have a contest to see who could get it the highest until it fell over. It was pretty damn entertaining for a while, which means we must have been insanely bored.

Yeah, we were definitely running out of ideas here in line. Bob had been trying to balance things on his finger all day (like last year), and when we ran out of things in people's hands and pockets, we both decided to go for the whole, "Who can touch the ceiling first" thing. We had been competing inside Matt's kitchen, but the ceilings were too low.. so we had to give it a try here.

By this point they had moved us Pre-reg folks up in the line considerably. I remember looking back over the line and knowing exactly where the other guys were. Plus you know... the cheering and the "aww's" based on the status of the measuring tape didn't hide them much.

Most funnest game eva!!!!

I have lived as few men dare to dream!!!

This is a shot of Jim edging ever closer to the ceiling. I do believe this was the one that put him into the lead in their never ending contest. I think he got it to 102 inches. Around this time people started to notice this crazy ass contest and started to cheer and get pictures of it (like the guy off to the left taking one with his camera phone). At least people were entertained.

Yeah - people were getting into it, some just watching, some yelling things to make us fall. Bob and I kept going back and forth to see who's was the biggest...heheh.. Somewhere towards the end, before security stopped us, I think we got to like, 113 inches or so. Fun game, and it only cost a dollar.

For some reason, the con seemed more "abuzz" this year.

13
Some other people started getting in on the action too, like this guy. I'm not sure how far he got the tape measure to go. Not too long after this picture was taken, security told us to put it away. Which I can completely understand, since it was actually very risky. If that thing fell and hit someone in the eye with its sharp jagged end, it would probably blind them. Oh well, we tried to be as safe as we could, even catching the thing when it fell so it wouldn't hit people in the eye. At least people were entertained for a little while.

As we coiled around, this guy said, "Next time we meet, I wanna try" and we kept our word. I think his fell around 36 or 40 something inches. Not bad for a first try.

This jerk said he could do it on his first try, and he didn't even make it halfway. Ass.

Like it would have been that big of a deal if we blinded somone. At least it would have given us something to do, and the line would be like, one person shorter. I only would have felt bad if we put out that guy with an eye patch's good eye. That would be tragic.

We thought our journey would be coming to an end when we turned around the corner to enter the next room... but we were sadly wrong. This is what was on the other side of the wall. A twisted bunch of lines going every which way. At this point we had been waiting in line for about 2 hours. I guess I should mention that we were in the at-con registration line, and some others (like Chris (Masamune), Ping (Trainee Ping), and Joe (Ronin)) were in the pre-reg line. They got out much quicker than we did and went to hang out in the room waiting for us. The previous years it was the opposite. It was always the pre-reg line that took forever and the at-con line that was the shortest.

Yeah.. lines suck. They suck so bad that some people become demonic and their eyes begin to burst with evil. Like the chick on the cell phone to the right of the picture (next to the ponytailed con-goer) with those white eyes that burn worse than Sephiroth's nipples. If only we could knife the lines...

Thank god for pre-registering. I got to be out of that line like 2 hours or so before most of the other ACen Guys. Hurrah for waiting in the hotel room watching Billy Madison.

There were so many lines at ACen, you would think it was a convention for coke (The drug, not the drink, ass.)

Oh man, this was quite the brick in the face.

15
...still in line. I know you can't tell in this picture but we were getting pretty damn exhausted and grumpy. I think Jim (Jimjitsu) was just going insane and started beating Eric (EricB) with Jill's (Jill) cat girl paw.

Heh.. yeah. The line was making everyone fall a little to their worst.. I thought it would be fun to repeatedly beat the stalker favorite with fuzzy cat paws. I was right.

This is a picture of Eric getting punched by a giant pussy......cat.

Me-OW! Get it!?!

Ker-PLOW!!!
