Colosseum Howl-O-Scream!!! Typlo (x3m) Nov 3rd, 09, 12:56 PM #1 (permalink)


This is the 1st time ever the largest LAN gaming center in Singapore to hold a Halloween event! Lets check out what awaits us ahead.


Dressed up Doraemon and Pikachu awaits us at the entrance of Tornado
So devilish (erm cute at the same time?) and zombified


Instead of the usual Halloween tradition of scary costumes and trick-or-treats, Colosseum instead made it a cosplay themed Halloween event, and even held a cosplay competition. Let’s check out the crowd that is just outside doing their preparations.


Nice elegant pose from one of the cosplay participants


Even the kids are so excited to even have some pose


A large number of cosplay participants doing up and preparing for the judging later on.


We spotted one of the media from America doing an interview with Kakashi from Naruto series


Here is another one, but we aren't sure what they are cosplaying with


The spooky entrance awaits.


We are also greeted by a skeleton on way in.


Hey hey, is that Snake from Metal Gear Solid coming to infiltrate the Colosseum?
And seems like the snake shows no fear



The Star Trooper and the Colosseum staff Devil “Kaze”


Participants mingle around in relaxed ambience… Chivas for $138, anyone up for it?


Gamers enjoying while waiting for the event to roll

MC for the day, Operation Manager of Colosseum, AJ

We got our chance to interview with AJ and we asked some questions like why would Colosseum hold this event and why having a cosplay event compared to typical Halloween event?

According to AJ, Colosseum is a place for both hardcore and casual gamers, and they wish to promote a healthy lifestyle within gaming so that gamers takes break in between long hours of gaming. This ensures a balanced gaming lifestyle towards those hardcore gamers who would even sit there for few hours and stand their toilet break even.

As for the cosplay, we get to know that Colosseum wish to make the event as enjoyable as possible, yet uniquely different from the traditions of a Halloween event, and hence idea of having cosplay to allow participants to dress up themselves as their favorite or dream anime characters.

We have interviewed some other gamers as well, overall it was worthwhile attending this event, to be able to game in comfortable setting with up-to-date gaming machinery and peripherals, drinks and live performances, particularly from SHINYA and Mark Bonatide, and that the gamers would hope to see more of such events from Colosseum in the future.

Personally, we feel this is quite a unique approach for the Halloween where we find ourselves quite relaxed, looking at gamers having fun while waiting for other performance to start and since its their 1st time, it’s a great job well done for Colosseum!


SHINYA band performing LIVE for the Colosseum!


Fashion show! When will you even least expect that to happen on Halloween?


Performance by MARK BONAFIDE and he raps so well that we couldn't even mimic!


And good performance comes in pairs


Later on we had the cosplay annoucement for the finalist for both singles and group category


Aren't they look so cool and real in their outfits?


And the winner of the single category for the cosplay!


Eh, he can't carry the prize so AJ have to stuff it in somewhere else


And the nurses from Silent Hill are the winners for the group category!
