RIT Cosplay Human Chess Match
RIT Cosplay Troupe proudly presents our fourth annual cosplay chess match, in which male and female characters (from anime, video games, etc.) face off against each other in a battle that could only take place at Tora-con 2012. This year will finally answer the age old question: Do women belong in the kitchen? Yes? No? Only in Mushroom Kingdom? Come view the epic battle of (wannabe) macho men versus the lovely (on the outside) ladies! (Alternate ending on Sunday!)
RIT Anime Trivia Game
An engaging anime trivia game, where 100+ multiple choice questions will be drawn at random. There will be ten questions per round, and 3-4 competitors per round, depending on the amount of people who show up. The winner of each round will be able to choose a prize out of a large selection of (appropriate) anime merchandise, all out of my own collection. However, if the winner of a round should answer all ten questions right, they may choose three prizes.
Oh No Not Another Hetalia Panel
It's just like you feared. It's another Hetalia panel, but with 100% more gilbirds, tomatoes, space, maple syrupy, and scones. Countries come one and all to talk about important world topics with your favorite characters. Fans? Of course, all are welcome to join in the debate with your favorite countries or even to bash on that least favorite character. There might be pasta, there might be a chance to become one with Russia, or be slaughtered by Belarus for trying to be one with her brother. However, we do have one thing you might enjoy, we got pirates.
Let Me Tell You About Homestuck
"A tale about a boy and his friends and a game they play together." Homestuck is the 4-year running comic by MSPaintAdvetures author Andrew Hussie, spanning over 4,500 pages. Curious as to why you see so many gray folk with Faygo? Or that ridiculous looking hammer? Or- heyisthatNicCage...? If you want to find out, now's your chance! Quickly! Advance or abscond!!
Japanese Culture in Anime & Manga
Ever wonder why your favorite anime characters act the way they do? Are you curious about those odd gestures you're seeing in manga panels? And what the heck is an "indirect" kiss? This panel will examine and discuss various aspects of Japanese culture as seen in anime, manga and tokusatsu series, with illustrative examples.
Digital Piracy & the Music Industry
A discussion on the effects digital piracy has had on the music as well as the overall entertainment industry, covering the RIAA, indie bands vs signed acts, record labels, legitimate digital distribution, YouTube and DRM. The panel will be run by a 15 year music industry veteran that will include open discussion and Q&A.
Cosplayers: The shorts!
The "Cosplayers" crew is back with some new shorts that continue the story-line created in the movie released last year!

The crew will also be on hand after the showing to answer questions about the movie, making the shorts, and experiences on this past year's tour.
