PPR @ Hal-Con - Ralston Arcade

e all love fighting games here at PPR. Whether we're trouncing around in the giant robots of Tech Romancer, wailing on opponents with a hefty stick in Soul Calibur or Shinku-Hadokening our way to victory in Street Fighter, one thing stands perfectly clear; at PPR, Fight is Might.

In Halifax, there are also other groups with very much the same philosiphy, and they have grown considerably in the last few years. At the core of it all is Ralston Arcade. Ralston Arcade is one of Atlantic Canada's premier fighting game streaming organizations, spanning four provinces and covering numerous tournaments, complete with live streaming.

At the head of this group is Micheal Daniels, and Press Pause Radio had a chance to catch up with him for a Q&A on Ralston's origins and future.

PPR @ Hal-Con - Cosplay Day 2

s expected, Saturday saw a huge outpouring of Cosplayers and attendees. So much that the fire marshal locked down the building. We almost didn't get in.

Saturday brought with it some of the most impressive cosplays we've ever seen. Apparently tbere were some impressive ones outside that were unfortunately turned away because of sold out tickets and overcrowding in the venue--I'm hoping they come back tomorrow.

But who wants to hear me ramble on when you could be looking at some sweet pictures?

Hal-Con is no exception, especially with the presence of Yaya Han--a well known professional Cosplayer-- who could be seen walking around the main floor ocasionally.

And so, I'm here to bring you the Cosplayers of Hal-Con. Each day will feature a wide range of cosplayers from that day's outing! Let's get started!
