    Oh yeah, being that I was blind.. I was only available for about 1-2 hours on Saturday until I started wondering about what was going on in the world of PAX, and started to overheat. And I was so fucking scared of ESCALATORS!

    Escalators are serious business, the Doctor's coat had me on guard all day Saturday.

    Escalators were SO fun to be in-character on: the people behind/in front of me couldn't get away. : P They had to stand there, waiting to get off, while watching me huddle in a corner weeping. Some took pictures, but most had a horrified "what do I do??" look exchanged with whoever was next to them. It was amusing, to say the least.

    But they are NOT fun when you are a blind Pokemon trusting his misfit friends on movement... I could've been killed!

    Yeah, that fabric could have totatlly been caught and then you'd be sucked down under the escalator, where all the other cosplayers with too much fabric on their costumes are. And furries.

    @Kihu: I'm not going to quote your post - too many pictures lol. But thank you so much! Yeah, I remember him. That guy. Banging those balloon thinggiemajigs. Why if my claws were sharp enough, I would've popped them noise makers right then and there. : P

    To the guy who cosplayed Gears of War (that big black dude/son - I think it's GoW?), that was a fabulous cosplay. I loved it so much.

    Oh man, you were the witch?! We weren't sure if he had actually scared you, but you were such a great sport, so thanks =) I hope we didn't freak you out too much, I know those Nvidia things are obnoxious. Loved your cosplay and dedication to the character, was a great experience. We have a video of it, actually, if I can grab it from my friend maybe I'll upload it if you don't mind lol.

    Well you definitely scared me in-character! And no problem, it's always fun going along with people's expectations of what'll happen when you startle the Witch. ; D And sure, go ahead and upload it. Would you send me a link?

    Hey!! I was the Zoey that posed with you for about an hour lol ^5 for lending me the fake pistol a million times for pics! Too bad my Hunter wasn't with me at the time, would've been priceless. We were seperated for the scavenger hunt that we were doing.
    You looked so good as Louis though! Major props Manny!

    Wish I could've worn my costume all weekend, however a) I wore my black clan shirts Fri/Sun, and b) Clothes shouldn't be worn and walked around in and sweated in for more than a day in a row. lol

    she was dressed as Franziska Von Karma from the Ace Attorney Series. She didn't have a wig and she's a tiny asian girl.

    Somehow we only got one picture of her while she was dressed up and I know a few people took pics of her.

    Hi again! Here's the link to the pic of your girlfriend as Franziska von Karma! =)

    My twin brother and I were Mario & Luigi on Sunday. Not some amateur Mario Bros either, we had beards all month so we could sculpt them into authentic mustaches for the show, and we are very authentic identical twin italian brothers from the North Shore.

    We had at least 100 people take our pictures on Sunday, but I never let anybody use MY CAMERA. So, needless to say, were kind of bumming we cant show people at work why we looked like homeless people all month. I found a picture of us with the Ghostbusters squad on flickr, but nothing on major sites or anywhere else. So here I am. If anyone has photos I'd love to see um.

    Thanks, Luigi

    Your Witch was perfect. I was standing against the wall in the hallway outside TT and you came over and started crying next to me. I was thinking, "Oh shit, flashlights off... wait should I aggro her? I don't even have a pistol. I need a Tommy gun for something like this."

    Perfectly creepy :)

    Ohhh were you the cosplayer with the mask/glowing blue eyes? (Don't know which game, sorry) Cause that was awesome. : )

    Thank you! It's Carl Swangee from Automata (Page 1 of 6).

    Oh btw, I was looking for pictures of me and found this.

    I'm sure as more people arrive home/settle in, more pictures will start popping up.

    So wait... were there two really tall Bayonettas running around? Because I spotted one in the Expo Hall day one that had a different costume and hair.

    Also, the Witch thing is great. Even better was Mike Krahulik's story about the security guard's reaction to it. "Should I draw my gun?"

    @ Rainbow Tunnel, your witch was amazing! My wife asked did i want to get a picture with you, and at first I said yes, but then i remembered, "don't startle the witch..." and I also wondered how quickly your claws would rip open my armor, so I had to pass, but it was a great costume, and you played the role to a perfect "T"!

    There were, in fact, two Bayonettas. I wish I'd gotten a picture of them sitting together--it was really surreal.

    Also, I only spotted the witch once, but two guys behind me started asking "Run or shoot? RUN OR SHOOT? BOTH!"

    @Slayer Thanks man, your Nick frying pan was a great idea and you looked great.

    @UGETBEATBYGIRLSPMS Thanks, I didn't mind letting you use the gun since I had the rifle. Your costume rocked and I think your hunter friend was the hunter who creeped up behind me and totally startled me. If that was a real hunter I would have been downed for sure.

    I took many picks of everyone, I'll try to see if I can upload them sometime soon.

    If anyone has pics of the Tenth Doctor from Saturday (Brown Suit), I'd love to see them. I'd also like to thank all the people who made cosplaying a fun time. I've never done any cosplay before and wasn't sure what to expect, but from the quick Doctor Who references in passing, to the photos and the attack hugs it was a pretty awesome experience.

    @ mei0023, I hope I am correct, but I believe i saw you on Sunday, your costume was very nicely done as well. Great job indeed.

    I was able to get a picture with one of the two Bayonettas while I was inside my armor, I can't remember if she was standing taller than me or not, but I'm 6'5" and I do remember asking myself is she as tall as me, or is it the gunheels that she is rocking.

    Were you the guy with blue camo pants and some kind of armor plates on your arms? I couldn't tell if that costume was from a game I had never seen or if it was just 'futuristic costume not affiliated with any previously established futuristic combat scenarios.'

    my son wasn't supposed to be there because of issues that he was having in school, so he though he had lost his chance to go, but at the last moments we let him go, but he was going to be the bearer of all gear, lancer boy, helm boy, backpack child, and anything eles we needed all weekend long...

    I took the position of it's one thing to take pax from him if he's never been to pax... it's another to take it from him if he can see it, hear it, and taste it as its so close yet so very far away... needless to say the change in his attitude has been dramatic since we've been home and started making plans for next year. :winky:

    Nice! It's always good to have a carrot on the end of a year-long stick. I spotted him and your wife in the Expo floor; she called out to him and said "Get over here with the gun!" and he took off like a bullet. The family that games together, stays together!

    My fiance and I were traveling around together all weekend, and that little moment actually led us to talk about raising gamer kids of our own. It was heartwarming in such a geeky way.

    Indeed, we are a gamer family. I know he may not be able to keep it up for the whole year, such are the ways of 12/13 year old. But now he has a good frame of reference as to what "Can" be, if he can make it happen.

    I still have some modification to do on the armor... such as finding a better way to bind the glass to the helm, adding more fans in the helm, installing a few more led's so that the eyes glow, cutting and sanding on the legs a bit more.... and most importantly losing about 20 to 50 lbs! To you and your fiance, when the time is right, raise a gamer... you'll love it!

    If they could somehow get to me via either Twitter or email (ze@knucklesdawson.com), I'd be forever in your debt.

    Sexual favors, make you dinner, blahblahblah.

    First off, AWESOME JOB AS HARLEY. you looked amazing *sweat*. You made a lot of pictures on many sites. I think i may have one of you that ill message you about but it may have come out blurry. (at work so i dont have my card handy)

    I also know your pain i didn't take any pictures as professor Layton. I wasn't in costume for half of Saturday which it seems 99% of all the pictures on the site were taken :( . I know some must be out there.
